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.
Where can I learn about Vermont and New Hampshire trucking laws and regulations?
Perhaps the driver of the semi-truck was ignoring the hours of service restrictions or driving a vehicle that did not meet legal safety standards. An experienced Vermont and New Hampshire truck accident lawyer can help you understand the laws and investigate your accident to identify how these regulations were ignored. You can also check the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration website for a list of laws.
What is my first step if I want to file a truck accident claim?
You will need to talk to a skilled Vermont or New Hampshire personal injury attorney who can help you build a strong case against the negligent driver. Make sure you gather as much information as possible that might help your attorney. For instance, medical records, specific accident details, witness contact information, and any other facts related to the crash will be helpful.
