What types of damages may be recovered in a large truck accident case?
The amount and types of damages you will seek will depend on a variety of factors. The extent and type of injuries sustained will affect the total dollar amount. If there was substantial property damage to your vehicle, this will be included in the estimate as well.
Since most severe truck accident injuries may cause you to miss out on work and important income, damages for lost earnings may be requested. If you have become permanently disabled, you may seek a type of damage called “loss of future earning capacity”.
The responsible party may be required to pay for any and all medical expenses that you incurred as a result of the truck accident. This may include ongoing therapies, rehabilitation, medical equipment, specialist care, and future doctor visits. In some cases, damages may be claimed for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress.
How much will it cost me to hire a New Hampshire truck accident attorney?
At Cullenberg & Tensen, P.L.L.C., we know that coming up with the money to afford legal services is difficult while recovering from a serious personal injury. That is why we offer our experienced legal services on a contingency-fee basis.
What this means is that you owe absolutely nothing up front. Once we obtain a recovery for your family, we will take a percentage of your total damage award. You will not have to pay any fees unless you recover money for your injuries. We will explain how this works in greater detail during your free initial consultation.
