Damages You Can Earn in a Truck Accident Suit

The sheer size of trucks and other commercial vehicles on the road today means accident victims will suffer grave injuries. Fortunately, filing a civil suit against the responsible parties is the first step o a full recovery. 

Truck accidents are often complex to litigate, as they often involve layers of insurance and different liable parties. When you’ve been injured in an accident, an experienced Savannah truck accident lawyer will fight for you. Read on to learn about the damages you may seek in a truck accident suit. 

Damages You Can Earn in a Truck Accident Suit

Truck accidents can pose grave consequences to the victims involved, and the damages can be wide-ranging—from the physical and emotional to the financial. Given the lasting scars these accidents can leave on the lives of the victims, the civil damages that they may be entitled to can also be larger than in other personal injury claims. 

One type of damages that can be found in a truck accident settlement is for lost wages. If you miss work while injured, then the at-fault party could be on the hook for your lost salary. Similarly, if you are unable to return to work, you may be awarded compensation for permanent disability or vocational rehabilitation. 

Other examples of damages include: 

• Medical bills
• Property damages
• Emotional trauma
• Pain and suffering
• Other economic and non-economic damages

If you’re unsure of the potential value of your truck accident settlement, consulting a lawyer will help.
