What Kinds of Damages Can I Get Compensation For?
If you’ve been in an accident, you may be wondering if you’re entitled to a settlement and if so, how much it may be worth. An attorney can work to get a settlement that accurately reflects the extent of your losses. A lawyer will work with you to estimate what your damages may be worth. Following an accident, you can inquire about damages that affect you physically, emotionally, and financially. These losses are typically divided into two categories:
Economic Damages
Economic damages are relatively straightforward to calculate in a truck accident case. There is a clear outflow of resources and paper trails that your attorney can track, such as medical bills, repair bills, and wage statements to provide proof of your damages.
Here are examples of economic damages:
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Surgical costs
- Medications
- Assistive devices
- Emergency care and transportation
- Hospital stays
- Miscellaneous expenses related to the accident
Your lawyer can help collect the proper paperwork to help prove your damages incurred in the accident.
Non-Economic Damages
A truck accident attorney can help you calculate the cost of your pain and suffering and trauma from the accident. You can seek compensation for emotional and mental hardship. Here are examples of non-economic damages:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of companionship
- Emotional distress
- Lessened quality of life
Your lawyer will estimate your non-economic expenses using a variety of approaches, such as calculating the number of bills that incurred economic expenses. After evaluating the entire cost, your lawyer would then approach the truck driver’s insurance company on your behalf to negotiate a settlement.
Wrongful Death Damages
If you lost a loved one in a truck accident, please accept our sincere condolences. While you grieve the loss of your loved one, our team can fight for the following damages in a wrongful death claim:
- Medical bills incurred before your loved one’s passing
- Your loved one’s lost wages
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of love, companionship, affection, care, and guidance
Is There a Time Limit to File My Lawsuit?
A car accident lawsuit in Indiana has a two-year statute of limitations. The statute of limitations, which governs when accident victims can file an injury lawsuit in civil court, varies by state. Once the timeframe expires, you will not be able to file. Typically, the two-year period begins on the date of the accident.
A lawyer can help get your lawsuit filed in time to adhere to the statute of limitations. This allows you to take the time to recover while also having your case filed accordingly.
While this limit has exceptions, they’re rare, so filing earlier tends to be a good idea. If you have a case against a city or county, there will be a 180-day time restriction. If you have any doubts about your eligibility, you can call a lawyer to clarify.
Who’s to Blame for My Accident?
Several parties may be liable for a truck accident, including:
- The driver of the truck
- The truck driver’s employer (under vicarious liability laws which hold employers liable for their employees’ actions)
- The vehicle’s manufacturer
