Seeking Compensation After a Tanker Truck Accident

A Woodland tractor-trailer injury accident can result in devastating injuries that lead to significant financial hardships and an inability to work.

These damages are designed to address the various ways the accident and injuries have impacted your life:

• Loss of earnings in the future: If your injury impacts your ability to work or advance in your career, you may be compensated for the reduction in your earning capacity. 
• Pain and suffering: Compensation can be sought for the physical pain and discomfort caused by the accident. 
• Scarring and disfigurement: If you sustain permanent scarring or disfigurement, you may be entitled to additional damages for the long-term physical and emotional impact. Learn more about scarring and disfigurement claims. 
• Emotional and psychological trauma: Serious accidents can leave victims dealing with anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These non-economic damages are also recoverable.
