Recoverable Damages for 18-Wheeler Accidents in Church Point

After suffering critical injuries in a big rig accident, you have the right to receive compensation for every loss suffered. When you work with our 18-wheeler accident lawyer in Church Point, LA, you can understand what damages you can pursue in an injury case.

Certain losses will be easier to calculate, while others must be quantified so we can determine their monetary value. Commonly referred to as economic damages and non-economic damages, respectively, some of the losses you could recover after your 18-wheeler accident include:

Loss of Income

Lost income is one of the most immediately impactful losses you can experience after an 18-wheeler accident. If you cannot work, you likely cannot earn a living. This will make it difficult or impossible for you to provide for your family, particularly if you are living paycheck to paycheck.

Not only can you recover your lost income, but you can also receive compensation that covers your future lost potential earnings, including:

  • Paid time off (PTO)
  • Vacation pay
  • Bonuses
  • Employer 401(k) contributions
  • Salary advances
  • Sick time
  • Other employee benefits

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering is how the 18-wheeler accident affects you emotionally and psychologically. Examples of damages that constitute pain and suffering include:

  • Humiliation
  • Shame
  • Embarrassment
  • Inconvenience
  • Indignity
  • Reputational damage
  • Fear
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Anticipation or apprehension
  • Shock
  • Chronic pain
  • Emotional distress
  • Impaired quality of life
  • Loss of consortium

Medical Expenses

Even a seemingly minor injury can wind up being expensive. For this reason, you must obtain the compensation you are entitled to for your medical expenses.

There is not a single medical expense you should be expected to cover when someone else caused your 18-wheeler accident and injuries. Examples of medical expenses you could recover in your 18-wheeler accident lawsuit include:

  • Group therapy or mental health counseling costs
  • Physical therapy or occupational therapy expenses
  • Prescription medication costs
  • Ambulance and hospital bills
  • Transportation costs
  • Medical equipment and home accommodation fees

Wrongful Death Damages

Our truck accident lawyer in Church Point, LA, would be honored to serve your family and seek compensation for you and your family if you lost a loved one in an 18-wheeler collision. We can take care of your legal needs while you and your family take care of one another.

Wrongful death damages you could recover include:

  • Funeral and burial costs you paid for our loved one’s final arrangements
  • Their accident-related medical care expenses
  • The household income they would have received had they survived their accident
