Types of Damages You Can Recover
After a truck accident, there are several types of compensation that victims may be eligible for. We ensure that every damage you suffer is accounted for, so you can move forward with your life without the burden of financial strain.
Medical Expenses
This covers all your medical costs, including hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and even long-term treatment for severe injuries.
Lost Wages and Loss of Future Earnings
If your injuries prevent you from working, whether temporarily or permanently, you can claim compensation for lost wages and any potential earnings you would have made in the future.
Pain and Suffering
Beyond physical injuries, emotional distress, and the pain you’ve endured after the accident are also considered. Compensation is available to cover these non-economic damages.
Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle
At Pearl Lemon Legal, we’ve successfully handled a wide range of truck accident cases, each requiring a unique approach depending on the circumstances. Here are some examples:
Rear-End Collisions
These are often caused by distracted driving or brake failure, and they can lead to serious injuries for the vehicle struck from behind.
Jackknife Accidents
A truck jackknifing happens when the trailer swings out at an angle, often due to sudden braking or poor road conditions.
Rollover Accidents
Rollovers are especially dangerous, as the sheer size of the truck can cause catastrophic damage to multiple vehicles on the road.
Underride and Override Crashes
In these terrifying accidents, smaller vehicles can slide under the trailer of a truck, or a truck can run over a vehicle, leading to fatal or life-altering injuries.
