CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRUCK
ACCIDENT LAWYERS FOR YOUR CASE!
You should choose the right lawyer for your case, which is a lawyer that has the experience, confidence and financial resources to obtain the justice you and your family deserve. And, you want a lawyer that is compassionate and understanding and will keep you apprised of the progress of your case.
Wites & Rogers specializes in truck accidents, and we will work for and with you and your family to fight for justice to compensate you and your family.
First, truck companies have their own adjusters, investigators, experts and lawyers who will conduct a complete analysis of the accident. Their goal is to reduce the company’s liability at all costs and, if possible, deny your claim and not pay you any money. If you are involved in a truck accident, you should have an equal or better team on your side, to represent your interests, to recover money for the damages you have suffered, such as pain and suffering, past and future medical expenses, and past and future lost wages.
Second, trucks are subject to special laws which are designed to protect the public and minimize the risk of accidents. However, one of the leading causes of truck accidents is the failure to follow these rules and procedures (such as driving too many hours, or not following the rules of the road), and the failure to properly maintain these vehicles. When the drivers don’t follow the rules, or the truck company fails to maintain the truck, this negligence may result in a crash that is not your fault.
If you were injured in a crash caused by a truck of any kind, we can help you and your family. We will investigate your claim, and fight the driver, truck company, and their insurance company, to get you the compensation you deserve.
Our consultation is FREE.
If we accept your case, we will prosecute your case on a pure contingency-fee basis, which means that you will not be obligated to pay us any attorney’s fees or reimburse us for the costs incurred in your case unless we obtain money for you.
Asking the right questions, and getting the answers, is important. Key questions in many truck crash cases include the following:
1 What happened in the crash? | 2 If the truck was stopped, was it using cones, flashers, signs or anything else to warn motorists and others of potential danger? | 3 How long had the driver of the truck been driving without sleep? | 4 What was the truck driver doing? Swerving, speeding, sleeping, texting, distracted? | 5 Is there a proper incident report filled out by the truck driver after the accident? |
6 Who owns the truck? Who owns the trailer? Is it the driver or a company, and do they own both the truck and trailer? | 7 Was the load on the truck properly secured? | 8 What does the truck driver’s record look like regarding previous accidents, citations and DUIs? | 9 What were the conditions at the time of the crash? Day or evening, dry or wet roads, heavy traffic, a busy or quiet road, etc. ? | 10 Was the driver late for a pick-up or delivery? |

My husband and I cannot say enough about Mr. Thomas Rogers and his associates at Wites Law Firm. Not only were they Professional but they listened and clarified every step that was had to be done on our behalf.
The outcome was remarkable but most of all he and his staff made us feel not only part of the process but did so at a pace that we could understand and make decisions on our own without feeling any pressure. This was the best experience we have had dealing with an attorney in South Florida and would highly recommend Mr. Rogers and his associates to anyone who is in need of help with an insurance claim. Many thanks for their caring and thoughtfulness towards us as clients.
Manta Ray InnI want to take the opportunity to compliment Marc Wites and his staff on the considerate and professional service he extended to us in negotiating our insurance claim. We were faced with the frustrating experience of dealing with our insurance company in the wake of Hurricane Irma.
Their inconsiderate and stingy offer led us to engage the Wites Law Firm to help us gain the funds to enable us to actually make the repairs our property needed. They did so in close communication with us, negotiating with the insurance company’s attorney in a most professional manner. We would not hesitate to call on Marc again if the need arose and we encourage anyone in need to do so as well.
Daniel & Loretta ForerThe professionalism and service at this firm are unmatched! There is someone updating you constantly on the status of your case, and everyone in the office is extremely knowledgeable! 10 of 10 in all aspects. I would not use anyone else.
ChristinaWites Law Firm is the best option for legal representation. They will get you the best settlement possible and do it much quicker than any other attorneys I have used in the past.
Teresa GoinsNo. We will do our best to obtain a settlement for you without filing a lawsuit, because this typically results in you paying less in legal fees and costs, and receiving more money from the settlement. However, if we cannot obtain a fair and reasonable settlement for you, we will file a lawsuit on your behalf, and fight for you in court for as long as it takes to get you and your family a fair and reasonable result.
