How Much Compensation Could I Recover After a Truck Accident?
Determining the value of a truck accident case can be complicated because each case is different and there are many factors that affect the settlement value. There are different circumstances involved with each case, and the results vary based on the injuries and losses you sustained.
After a trucking accident, you could recover economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include monetary losses you incurred because of the accident. Non-economic damages include non-monetary losses you experienced because of the accident.
Economic Damages in a Trucking Accident Claim
- Medical treatment: Trucking accidents could cause severe injuries that might require extensive medical treatment. You could recover compensation for ongoing and future medical care, emergency room services, ambulance rides, surgeries, and medications. If you need rehabilitation services, such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, or speech therapy, you can add those losses to your claim.
- Lost income: If you cannot go to work while you recover from the accident, you may be able to recover lost income.
- Lost earning capacity: If your injuries were severe enough to where you cannot return to work in the same capacity, or at all, you may also have a lost earning capacity claim. Our attorneys can help calculate the value of lost future earnings.
- Auto repair or replacement: You may also recover costs associated with repairing or replacing your vehicle. Any added costs you had to pay if your car was damaged can be included in your claim.
Non-Economic Damages in a Trucking Accident Claim
- Pain and suffering: If you have experienced any discomfort, pain, anguish, or inconvenience because of your injuries, you may qualify to recover pain and suffering damages.
- Emotional distress: If the accident is serious enough, it could have psychological effects. Emotional distress may include anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Loss of enjoyment: If you cannot perform activities or tasks you enjoyed before your injuries, you could include loss of enjoyment in your claim.
