These effects can shift over months and years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paraplegia\/\">Paraplegia<\/a> means loss of use of the legs and lower body. Quadriplegia means loss of use of the arms, legs, and trunk.<\/p>\n<p>Medical providers determine the level and completeness of an injury through exams and testing.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/acl.gov\/programs\/post-injury-support\/traumatic-brain-injury-tbi\">traumatic brain injury<\/a> can follow a crash. This can happen even when a person seems fine at first. The Administration for Community Living notes that commercial truck and bus accidents can cause these injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms are not always obvious right away. That is why follow-up care matters.<\/p>\n<p>Long-term needs often include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rehabilitation<\/li>\n<li>Adaptive equipment<\/li>\n<li>Changes to the home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Follow your doctors&#8217; care plans. Keep a written record of appointments, prescriptions, therapy sessions, and out-of-pocket costs.<\/p>\n<h2>Why a FedEx Truck Crash Can Involve More Than One Party<\/h2>\n<p>More than one party can share responsibility after a FedEx truck crash. The facts decide who that is.<\/p>\n<p>Some FedEx-branded trucks are driven by delivery contractors. They are not FedEx employees. The driver, the contractor, the delivery business, and others may each have a role to examine.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators and attorneys often look at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Driver hours.<\/strong> A driver may not drive after 14 consecutive hours on duty following 10 hours off. A driver may drive no more than 11 hours in that period (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-395.3\">49 C.F.R. \u00a7 395.3<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Texting.<\/strong> Drivers of commercial motor vehicles may not text while driving, except when necessary to communicate with law enforcement officials or other emergency services (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-392.80\">49 C.F.R. \u00a7 392.80<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance.<\/strong> Motor carriers must keep parts and accessories in safe and proper operating condition (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-396.3\">49 C.F.R. \u00a7 396.3<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crash dynamics.<\/strong> Jackknifes, rollovers, overloaded cargo, and brake or tire failures can all be part of the review.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Evidence matters. Electronic logs, GPS data, dashcam footage, maintenance records, and the crash scene can show what happened.<\/p>\n<p>Carriers keep maintenance records for limited periods. Early action helps.<\/p>\n<p>The truck company&#8217;s insurer may contact you early. Ask for advice before you give a recorded statement or sign any release.<\/p>\n<h2>Compensation Categories in a Florida Truck Crash Claim<\/h2>\n<p>Florida injury claims can seek economic losses. These are money losses the injury causes.<\/p>\n<p>Florida&#8217;s definition includes past and future lost income, medical and funeral expenses, lost support and services, and other losses. These losses would not have occurred without the injury (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.81<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Medical bills follow a specific rule. This applies no matter who made the payment (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.0427.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.0427<\/a>). Keep every bill and insurance statement.<\/p>\n<p>When a crash causes death, a wrongful death claim is brought by the decedent&#8217;s personal representative (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.20.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.20<\/a>). The claim is for the survivors and the estate (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.20.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.20<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The personal representative recovers for the survivors and the estate all damages specified in the wrongful death act. A surviving spouse may recover for loss of companionship and for mental pain and suffering (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.21.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.21<\/a>). Minor children may recover for lost parental companionship, instruction, and guidance (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.21.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.21<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Every case is different. No result can be promised. Amounts depend on the facts, the medical evidence, and available insurance coverage.<\/p>\n<h2>First Steps and Florida Deadlines After a FedEx Truck Crash<\/h2>\n<p>The first steps protect both your health and your claim. Get medical care right away. Follow the treatment plan and keep records.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Get medical care right away and follow your doctor&#8217;s plan.<\/li>\n<li>Keep every bill, receipt, and work note.<\/li>\n<li>Photograph the scene and vehicles if you can do so safely.<\/li>\n<li>Write down witness names and the police report number.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid posting about the crash on social media.<\/li>\n<li>Do not sign releases or give recorded statements to insurers without advice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Florida law requires an action based on negligence to be started within two years (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 95.11<\/a>). Deadlines apply to actions other than for recovery of real property, and each type of action has its own time limit. Do not assume time remains.<\/p>\n<p>Florida&#8217;s crash statute defines serious bodily injury. It is an injury that creates a substantial risk of death, serious personal disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member or organ (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0300-0399\/0316\/Sections\/0316.027.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 316.027<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>What to Expect: The Claim Process Step by Step<\/h2>\n<p>Most claims move through several stages. These include a consultation, investigation, medical documentation, negotiation, and, when needed, a lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Timelines vary with injury severity, the number of parties, and court schedules. No specific timeline can be promised.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free initial consultation.<\/strong> You describe the crash, the injuries, and your family&#8217;s situation. The consultation is confidential and carries no obligation to continue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigation and evidence.<\/strong> The firm works to identify every potentially responsible party. It sends preservation letters asking companies to keep logs, footage, and maintenance records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medical documentation.<\/strong> The firm gathers records from treating providers. It reviews the long-term picture with your medical team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Claim presentation and negotiation.<\/strong> The firm presents the claim to insurers and negotiates. This includes settlement demands where appropriate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Litigation if needed.<\/strong> If a fair resolution is not reached, a lawsuit may be filed in the proper Florida court.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Not sure what your next step is?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+17867514283\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why Families Contact CHG Personal Injury Lawyers<\/h2>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is a Florida-based personal injury firm.
