Types of Damages in a Truck Accident Claim
A Seattle truck accident lawyer can help you achieve the best possible results. Fair compensation can help you cover things like medical bills or loss of wages caused by the truck accident.
Damages vary across truck accidents and depend on different factors like the extent of the injuries sustained in the truck collision. A personal injury attorney will provide more details during your free consultation. The types of compensatory damages are categorized into economic and non-economic damages.
- Economic Damages - Economic damages are quantitative. This can include medical bills or damage to your property. It can also include loss of wages. For example, if you had to take time off work due to your personal injury you can calculate how much money you lost. Economic damages will also be calculated for the future. For example, the cost of ongoing medical care is an expense that should be taken into account. It's important to follow your treatment plans and keep your medical records as evidence.
- Non-Economic Damages - These kinds of damages aren't tangible. Non-economic damages can include stress, pain and suffering, and persisting issues relating to your quality of life. These damages are a huge factor in personal injury claims because truck accident victims can experience life-altering consequences.
- Punitive Damages - Especially negligent truck drivers may be punished with punitive damages by the jury or the judge. Punitive damages can be applied if the driver committed an egregious wrongful act like drunk driving or racing another vehicle.
