What Types of Damages May Be Recovered in a Truck Accident Case?
Without a doubt, an auto accident may wreak havoc on the lives of those involved, particularly when traumatic injuries were sustained. Such situations may lead to mounting medical expenses, lost time from work, and extensive recovery periods. While any type of traffic collision may have the potential to result in devastating consequences, big rig crashes tend to be especially catastrophic because of the overwhelming size and weight of these vehicles. When a tractor-trailer is involved in a crash with a passenger vehicle, there may be serious injuries or even wrongful death to those riding in smaller cars.
When bringing a bodily injury claim for financial compensation, injured parties may seek recovery of economic and non-economic damages from the negligent truck driver and trucking company. Such cases are generally brought against the insurers representing at-fault parties. Some of the losses that may be claimed include medical expenses in connection to accident-related injuries, earnings that were lost because of the big rig crash, and pain and suffering due to the traumatic incident.
