Florida is a big state both in terms of population and geographical size. It has over 21 million residents, making it the third-most populated state in the U.S. Even though it is a large state geographically, it ranks 8th in population density, and most of the population is crammed into a handful of urban hubs, including Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando.

Given the size of Florida’s population, it is hardly surprising that the state sees a lot of car accidents and injuries. In 2023, there were a total of 394,456 police-reported vehicle accidents in the state. Nearly 3,500 people were killed in Florida car accidents last year and over 250,000 people were physically injured.

This page will look at truck accident lawsuits, meaning injury cases involving commercial trucks, also known as tractor-trailer trucks or big rigs. The average tractor-trailer can weigh around 40,000 lbs., compared to the average car which weighs 5,000 lbs.

When big trucks crash into smaller vehicles, they can cause significant damage. When these accidents occur, drivers and passengers typically sustain serious injuries or even death. Personal injury claims involving commercial trucks generally are unique. Recovering compensation requires an understanding of the complexity of these claims.


What Makes Truck Accident Cases Different

Rollover accidents, though less frequent than other types of vehicular accidents, often lead to severe injuries or even death. The inherent complexities surrounding these cases demand expertise in both personal injury law and product liability, making them uniquely challenging for even the most seasoned legal practitioners.

Understanding Rollover Accidents

Rollovers occur when a vehicle tips over onto its side or roof during a crash. While any vehicle can experience a rollover, taller, narrower vehicles like SUVs, trucks, and vans are more susceptible due to their higher center of gravity. Many factors can contribute to a rollover accident, including the driver’s behavior, road conditions, and vehicle type.

On this page, we will look at the average settlement payout amount for ankle injuries in accident lawsuits. Injuries to the ankle injury ankle sprains, ankle fractures, dislocations, and ligament tears. Ankle injuries are most often seen in auto accident cases and slip and fall or premises liability cases.

Average Settlement Value for Ankle Injury

The average settlement payout for ankle injuries in accident cases is approximately $18,000 to $75,000. As discussed below, where a particular case falls on this value range depends largely on the severity of the injury. Minor ankle injuries like sprains are going to be at the low end of the settlement value range, whereas more serious injuries such as fractures or dislocations will be at the higher end. Also, keep in mind that these are settlement values. The average verdict award for ankle injuries is much higher.
