If a tractor-trailer or delivery truck collided with your vehicle on US-27, FL-70 or one of the backroads of Highlands County, you’re probably facing more than just vehicle damage. Maybe you’re injured and out of work, unsure which doctors will treat you, or getting calls from insurance adjusters pushing for a quick settlement. You don’t have to face that alone.
At Peninsula Law Firm PLLC, we help people across Highlands, Okeechobee, Polk, Lee, Miami-Dade, and Manatee counties get the care and compensation they deserve after serious trucking accidents. Our attorneys, William Potucek and Gerard Di Popolo, spent over a decade defending trucking companies and insurance carriers throughout Florida. That experience taught them exactly how the at-fault drivers and insurance companies evaluate claims and how to fight back when they try to minimize yours.
Truck accidents aren’t like typical fender benders. A single crash can involve multiple companies, layers of insurance, and complex federal safety rules and regulations. We help you untangle it all and find the coverage to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Trucking companies are required to follow strict safety and maintenance standards. We look for every violation — from hours-of-service logs to brake inspections — to find out what really caused your crash. We will investigate the truck's data, the dash camera footage, and the accident scene to analyze what caused your accident.
Liability may fall on more than just the driver. The trucking company, cargo loader, trucking operator, an independent contractor, or even parts manufacturer could share the blame. We identify all potential parties, including the driver’s history and qualifications, to build your claim to hold each responsible party accountable.
Insurance companies often contact victims within days, hoping you’ll sign something before understanding the full value of your claim. We step in early to protect you and handle all communication on your behalf.
