Damages You Could Receive in a Greenville Truck Accident Case
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 4,000 people died in large truck collisions in 2019. Of those killed, 16% were truck occupants, while an overwhelming 67% were drivers or passengers in cars or other motor vehicles. If you were injured as a result of a truck accident on a road in Greenville, you may be hospitalized or at home unable to work. All while wondering how you will handle the incoming pile of bills.
Once we determine that the truck driver and/or trucking company is liable for your accident and injuries, we will pursue the damages you have suffered. There are two types of damages you could receive: economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages from a Truck Collision
Economic damages compensate you for the financial losses you have suffered due to the accident. These include:
- Past, current, and future medical expenses (e.g., hospital stays, imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, and cat scans, assistive medical devices, prescription medication, rehabilitation)
- Loss of income (e.g., the time you missed from work due to your accident-related injuries)
- Reduced earning capacity (e.g., bonuses/promotions you may have missed out on due to your injuries. Or perhaps you can no longer perform your current job duties and are forced to take a lower-paying position or stop working altogether)
- Property damage (e.g., the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle and damaged property due to the auto accident)
Non-Economic Damages for Truck Accident Injuries
Non-economic damages account for the physical and emotional pain you have suffered due to the accident and your related injuries. These include:
- Pain and suffering (e.g., the physical pain your injuries have caused may prevent you from doing your daily chores, such as cooking or doing the laundry)
- Mental anguish (e.g., you may experience insomnia, anxiety, or depression following the truck accident in Greenville)
- Disfigurement or disability (e.g., the accident may have left you disabled or permanently scarred)
- Loss of enjoyment of activities (e.g., your injuries may prevent you from doing the things you used to enjoy, such as jogging, gardening, or working out)
- Loss of companionship (e.g., if you lost a loved one due to the truck accident, you may be able to receive compensation through a wrongful death action)
