Fault In Truck Accident Claims

Who can be held responsible for injuries in a truck accident case will depend on the facts and circumstances of the case. 

Some examples of parties that could possibly be liable for a victim’s injury include:

• The trucking company
• A truck driver
• Government entities
• Equipment manufacturers
• Another negligent driver

TYPES OF DAMAGES AWARDED

Victims who have been harmed in an accident as a result of the negligence of a truck driver may be entitled to damages for the harms that they’ve suffered. Damages in personal injury cases are usually broken up into two categories: economic damages and non-economic damages.

ECONOMIC DAMAGES

This category deals with the tangible losses suffered by the victim of a truck accident. The compensation awarded can be for either past losses as well as future losses or expenses that an individual may have as a result of the accident.

Some examples of economic damages are:

• Loss of wages
• Medical fees
• Damages to the vehicle
• Financial support for those dependent on the victim
• Damages to the property

NON-ECONOMIC DAMAGES

These losses experienced by the plaintiff are intangible, which makes assigning a dollar amount to them more complicated. To show this type of loss, lawyers representing the plaintiff must demonstrate how the accident affected the victim’s mental or emotional state.

Non-economic damages include things like:

• Emotional distress
• Mental anguish
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of a loved one
• Reduced quality of life

Damage Caps

States can, and have, passed laws limiting the number of damages that a plaintiff can receive in a particular type of case. These laws are called damage caps.
