Recoverable Damages in Fatal Truck Accident Cases

Losing a loved one takes an emotional, psychological, and financial toll. Our team will determine exactly what you lost because of your loved one’s fatal truck accident in Scott. Your recoverable damages may include:

  • Pain and suffering: The first, and perhaps most significant, loss one suffers from a wrongful death is pain and suffering. Grief, emotional distress, and depression generally fall into this damage category. We will also consider any pain and suffering the decedent experienced because of their accident in Scott.
  • Lost financial support: Losing a loved one’s income can put you under immediate financial stress. You may also lose the value of a loved one’s skills, which may include home repair, lawn care, and chores.
  • Medical expenses: Any medical bills stemming from the fatal truck accident in Scott may entitle you to compensation.
  • Property costs: If the decedent’s vehicle became damaged during the accident, we will determine the cost of repairing or replacing the vehicle. 
  • Loss of the decedent’s non-economic value: As a spouse, losing a loved one can mean losing a partner and romantic companion. As a child, losing a loved one can mean losing a parent who provides guidance, comfort, and stability. Whatever your relationship to the decedent, we will determine what their death has cost you.
  • Every wrongful death is a tragedy. We expect your case will involve significant compensation because a loved one’s death is the greatest loss you can experience.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.
