Recoverable Damages in Your Lansing Truck Accident Case
The weight of a truck can cause devastation when it crashes into another vehicle or pedestrian. Our firm will account for both economic and non-economic harm resulting from your accident, which may include:
Medical Costs
Over the course of multiple decades, our attorneys have seen clients suffer a range of injuries. We strive to ensure that, whatever your injuries and medical needs are, you won’t pay a dime out of your own pocket for treatment. We will seek compensation to cover:
- Emergency services (including ambulance transport)
- Surgery
- Hospitalization
- X-rays and other imaging services
- Medications
- Rehabilitation
- Any other accident-related medical services
The National Safety Council (NSC) explains that the average cost of an accident causing disabling injury is $155,000. This is just the average figure, and does not account for non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Therefore, your accident could be even more costly.
Our team will work with medical professionals to identify the exact cost of your accident-related medical care.
Emotional Damages, Including Pain and Suffering
Being in a truck accident could be the most terrifying event you’ve experienced. Between memories of the accident, the toll of your injuries, and the psychological pressure you face after the collision, you may experience:
- Pain and suffering
- Physical pain from injuries
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Depression stemming from your injuries and post-accident circumstances
- Anxiety
- Lost quality of life
- Sleep problems
- Memory issues
- Mood and personality changes
Each truck accident victim responds differently to a collision, and our team will pair you with a mental health expert to compassionately diagnose your pain and suffering.
Professional Harm and Lost Income
In our experience, it is likely that your truck accident could cost you:
- Income
- Earning power
- Promotions
- Bonuses
- Other professional benefits
If you miss work or must change roles because of injury symptoms, our team will calculate the cost of your professional damages.
Vehicle Repairs
Should your vehicle need repair or replacement, we will include these vehicle-specific costs in your case. We will also calculate the cost of replacing non-vehicular property and securing temporary transportation.
A Loved One’s Tragic Passing
The entire Christensen Law team extends its condolences if you have lost a loved one. Trucking companies and other liable parties must be accountable for claiming your loved one’s life, and they may need to pay for:
- Any pain and suffering the decedent endured
- Your pain and suffering, including grief
- Counseling or any other treatment you need for pain and suffering
- Loss of the decedent’s non-economic value (including spousal companionship and parental guidance)
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of the decedent’s income
- Loss of the decedent’s contributions to their household
