Types Of Compensation In Semi-Truck Accident Claims
A serious semi-truck crash can disrupt your career and change your life in an instant. The compensation you might receive in these cases is meant to help you recover your losses. These damages generally fall into two main categories:
- Economic damages: These cover your direct costs, like medical bills, lost income from time away from work, vehicle damage and other out-of-pocket expenses
- Noneconomic damages: These cover the less obvious impacts of the accident, like your physical pain, emotional distress and reduced quality of life
To determine the potential value of your claim, our lawyers evaluate several factors. We consider the seriousness of your injuries, their long-term impact on your life, the total cost of your medical care and lost income and the strength of the evidence we gather to prove fault.
How Our Madison Truck Accident Lawyers Can Help
As your legal team, we move quickly to secure crucial evidence. We launch an immediate investigation to recover black box data, driver logs, and inspection reports, before they can disappear or be tampered with. When building your case, our attorneys will:
- Collaborate with accident reconstructionists, medical providers and other professionals to build a compelling and detailed case on your behalf.
- Manage all communication and negotiations with the trucking company’s insurance providers
- Prepare to take your case to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached
- Document all of your economic and non-economic damages to ensure we pursue the full and fair compensation you deserve
Filing a claim for accidents involving semi trucks and 18-wheelers can be far more complicated than those involving a standard car crash. Besides the possibility that there may be multiple at-fault parties, the claim can also involve complicated regulations and high-stakes insurance negotiations. Our skilled truck accident lawyers can help advocate for your interests and protect your rights throughout the process.
Who Is Liable In A Madison Truck Accident?
In a truck accident, a lot can go wrong. Wisconsin comparative fault laws might make multiple parties responsible for a single accident, including:
- A truck driver for reckless or inattentive driving, or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- The trucking company, for failing to train a driver properly, negligence in hiring, failing to properly maintain a vehicle or failing to load the truck’s cargo correctly
- The parts manufacturer for faulty parts
- The truck manufacturer for faulty manufacturing
In a personal injury lawsuit for damages, anyone who was negligent or guilty of wrongdoing can be held accountable for injuries and damages for the percentage they were at fault.
Common Injuries After A Semi-Truck Accident
Unfortunately, accident injuries sustained in a truck accident can be serious and even catastrophic. Truck accidents can frequently end in fatalities. Our semi-truck accident attorneys can help you recover damages for your injuries.
