  • Scarring and disfigurement 
  • Pain and suffering 
  • Loss of consortium 
  • Mental anguish

Recoverable Economic Damages

Economic damages refer to your monetary losses. They can be proven with verifiable documentation, such as pay stubs, financial records, bank statements, receipts, quotes, bills, and more. Examples of economic damages you can seek as part of your big rig accident case include:

  • Medical expenses, including hospital stays, ambulance rides, and doctor’s visits
  • Present and future lost income

Deadlines for Filing a Big Rig Accident Lawsuit

Each state has deadlines for filing a lawsuit, which is outlined in the statute of limitations. You should be aware of these deadlines if you are moving forward with a big rig accident lawsuit. Under CC Art. 3492, if you are filing a personal injury lawsuit for your injuries, you will need to do so within two years of the accident.
