We’ve all been there. Maybe we found ourselves boxed in on the highway, or maybe a semi made an unexpected left turn, or maybe we just didn’t notice a large truck in our blind spot until it was almost too late. At some point or another, every driver finds themselves in a dangerous situation involving a truck.
Most of the time, those close calls stay close. But every now and then, accidents happen, and in the immediate aftermath, it can be hard to know exactly what to do.
If you’re involved in a truck accident, you need to do a few things. First, you need to seek immediate medical treatment. Second, you need to call the police to investigate the accident scene. And third, you need to contact Veron Bice, LLC for a free assessment of your case.
What Damages are Eligible for Compensation?
If you’re involved in a truck accident, you’ll be entitled to certain damages. These include but aren’t limited to:
Medical Bills
Your attorney could demand that you be compensated for current and future medical bills. This is especially important if you need an extended course of treatment to get back to 100%.
Lost Wages
Your lawyer will make sure you are compensated for time missed from work. He or she will also help assure that you’re compensated if you end up with a more long-term disability.
Pain and Suffering
There is a lot of pain involved in truck accident injuries, both physical and emotional. Your lawsuit may involve as much in pain and suffering compensation as the other types of damages combined.
Property Damage
Chances are, if you’re hit by a large truck, your car will be totaled. At a minimum, it’ll need major repairs. The defendant should be responsible for these repairs.
