Question:
What type of compensation could I ask for in a truck accident case?
Answer:
A new client called recently and asked, “What kind of compensation can I ask for in my trucking accident case?” In a trucking accident case, there are two types of damages or compensation that you can ask for. One is economic losses, including medical expenses that you have incurred as part of your treatment plan, maybe lost wages if you missed time from work, or any other out-of-pocket expense that you’ve had to front because of the trucking accident. That compensation is fairly straightforward to determine because we have the bills, we know how much you were paid at work, and so on.
The other category of compensation that you can recover are what we call non-economic damages. These involve pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, perhaps disfigurement such as in a dog bite case, or compensation for total harm that has befallen you and your family. Those particular categories of compensation require you to explain and articulate your pain, your anguish, and your emotional distress. That is something that we will help you do.
If you contact us for a free consultation, we’ll be happy to discuss the issue of compensation and damages or any other questions that you may have.
