DAMAGES FROM A TRUCK ACCIDENT

The damages from a truck accident can be enormous. Common types of damages that victims suffer, and that may be recoverable in a truck accident claim, include:

• Medical expenses. If you are seriously injured, you can count on your medical expenses totaling in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars – an amount of money that can be financially devastating to the average person.
• Property damage costs. It’s very likely that your vehicle will be totaled in a truck accident, which means that in addition to your large medical bills, you will also incur large property damage costs.
• Lost wages and earning capacity. Serious injuries are usually disabling, at least temporarily and sometimes permanently. Suffering a disability will likely prevent you from being able to return to work, and could hamper your earning capacity long-term. Lost wages and lost earning capacity could mean hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of losses over the course of your life.
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress. Not all of the losses that you suffer will be physical or financial; you will also likely incur pain, suffering, and emotional distress as well – all of which can contribute to a diminished quality of life, loss of quality relationships, and more.

HOW OUR COLUMBIA CITY TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWYERS CAN HELP

When you’ve suffered the degree of damages discussed above, you deserve an advocate on your side who knows best practices and strategies for maximizing your recoverable settlement amount. Our law firm will work hard for you, taking on the following tasks:

• Investigating your case. One of the first roles that our lawyer will play is that of investigator. A thorough investigation into the crash to determine causation, and to gather clues about liability, is absolutely critical.
• Proving fault and liability. Once we have collected all relevant evidence, our next action item will be to make a determination about fault and liability. Note that in a truck accident, there are various parties who may be liable, including the truck driver, the trucking company, a third-party driver, the manufacturer of a defective vehicle part, the shipper or loader of cargo, and more.
• Preparing your claim. Once our lawyer knows who’s at fault–and has the evidence to prove it–we’ll calculate your damages and prepare and submit your claim. We handle all claim filing documents on your behalf.
• Negotiating your settlement. If you are offered a settlement that’s less than you deserve, our law firm will be responsible for representing you during the negotiations phase of the settlement process, as well as litigation if it comes to that.
