What Is My Vigo County Truck Accident Claim Worth?
Unfortunately, we can’t easily throw out a number to represent the amount of money you can get for your truck accident claim. This is because every injury case is different. We will need to speak with you, investigate the accident, and evaluate your injuries before we can put a monetary value on your situation.
Below are some of the common damages people receive compensation for after a truck accident:
- Medical bills. A person who gets hurt in a truck accident can usually recover the cost of the medical treatment they needed for their injuries.
- Future medical expenses. Some people need follow-up or ongoing medical treatments for their injuries from a truck collision.
- Long-term care. In the case of catastrophic injuries, the plaintiff might need daily assistance with medical treatments and personal care.
- Lost income. If you did not get paid your usual amount of wages or salary because of the accident, your medical treatments, and recuperation time, you suffered a financial loss that we can fight to replace.
- Lost future wages. If you must take a lower-paying position or reduce your working hours because of ongoing impairment from your injuries, you might not be able to make as much money as you did before the collision.
- Pain and suffering. This category is for the physical discomfort, inconvenience, and emotional distress of getting injured in a truck accident. These damages are above and beyond the payment of medical bills.
- Other intangible losses. This category is for damages that do not always come with paperwork like bills or receipts showing their monetary value, but we can still valuate them. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), disfigurement from extensive scars, and loss of enjoyment of life are some of the intangible losses that can develop after getting injured in a truck accident.
After we talk with you and investigate the accident and your injuries, we might discover additional categories of damages that apply to your case. We will identify all your damages, value them accurately, and fight for you to recover them.

Mistakes You Can Avoid by Working with Us
People who manage their injury claims without legal help could face an undesirable outcome. Here are three examples of what could happen:
Settling Your Case Before Finishing Your Medical Treatment
You are nearly finished with your physical therapy treatment plan when the claims adjuster offers you money to settle your injury claim. You accept the offer, sign the paperwork, and deposit the check. The following week, you return to your doctor, expecting to get released from treatment.
To your surprise, your doctor says that you will need surgery for your injuries to heal properly. The defendant’s insurance company will not pay for the surgery or any other medical bills you incur after the settlement.
You could end up with medical bills you cannot afford to pay. After the settlement, neither the defendant nor their insurance company has any legal liability.
Accepting a Low-Ball Offer
When the claims adjuster offers you a few thousand dollars to settle your injury claim, he does not have to explain that you must pay your medical bills, property damage, and everything else out of that one check.
What might have looked like “free money” might not be enough even to cover your medical bills, much less compensate you for your pain and suffering, inconvenience, and ongoing problems from your injuries. Some people find out too late that they should have gotten much more money for their injury claim.
Getting Convinced That You Are Not Eligible for Compensation
Sometimes people get duped by the negligent party’s insurance company. They are told that the policy does not cover their injuries or other losses. If you work with our attorneys, you will have someone to read and interpret the insurance policy and fight for your right to compensation.
We won’t let a negligent party get away with their carelessness. We will ensure you get justice.
These are but a few examples of the unfortunate outcomes when people handle their claims without a legal advocate. Indiana law does not force you to hire an attorney, but doing so can be beneficial.

Who You Can Sue If You Got Hurt in a Truck Accident
The driver of the truck is not automatically liable for the accident. If he did something careless, like speeding, and that negligence caused the accident, however, you can make a legal claim against him or his company for your losses.
It may be that the liable party is solely the trucker’s employer as they are typically responsible for their employees’ actions or inaction on the job. In a truck accident, other possible liable parties are a cargo-loading company, truck manufacturer, or mechanic.
