What Can I Recover Financially After a Truck Accident?

Your financial recovery should include these categories of expenses and losses:

  • Past and future medical care
  • Income losses
  • Pain and suffering

For instance, medical care could include payment for out-of-pocket expenses, psychological counseling, and even alternative care like acupuncture.

Likewise, the wages you missed from a 9-to-5 while healing can be covered, as well as lost revenue from your online side business or occasional gig as a rideshare driver. We can go over your revenue streams to identify areas for financial recovery.

Finally, pain and suffering are just one of several forms of recovery that address the intangible but significant consequences of your accident. Mental anguish and emotional distress could be included.

Lifestyle Changes Can Be Covered

As underlined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the size difference between trucks and other vehicles increases the risk of injuries. Those injuries could be life-changing. Recognition of those changes can be provided by specific forms of financial recovery, such as for:

  • Medical equipment
  • Home and car modifications
  • Occupational therapy
  • Job retraining
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Loss of hobbies
  • Diminished quality of life

Your injury may have temporarily or permanently changed your ability to do your job or pursue your interests. Finding alternative employment and acknowledging your changed ability to earn can be considered in addition to your lost wages. Likewise, financial recovery can recognize you are being deprived of former hobbies.

Other Losses That Can Be Considered

The size difference between vehicles and large trucks also sadly causes fatalities. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reports that 97 percent of fatalities in accidents involving a truck and a passenger vehicle were passenger vehicle occupants.

Wrongful death claims or lawsuits can help families with financial recovery not only for bills and funeral expenses, but also for income, guidance, and emotional support your loved one would have provided.

You may have suffered other losses. Even if your Bryan truck accident scenario was unusual, tell our attorneys about how it has affected you and we can explore what you could receive.

What Should I Know About Hiring a Truck Accident Lawyer?

Keep in mind that this is a relationship that you could have for months or even years while the firm works on your case. When you partner with D. Miller & Associates, PLLCᴿ, you gain a team willing to stick with your case as long as necessary, even in court.

Yet even before that, we can:

  • Investigate your accident, compile evidence, and identify liable parties
  • Help you talk to insurance adjusters and file a claim
  • Advise you on what to say (and not say) when dealing with adjusters
  • Explain legal terms, settlement offers, and lawsuit filings
  • Help you access medical treatment and set up appointments
  • Negotiate settlement terms with insurance and trucking companies

We make ample use of the typical two-year statute of limitations provided for injury victims by Texas law. During that time, we work to settle your case out of court. However, we are willing to fight for you at trial if that’s what it takes.

Who Can Be Held Accountable for My Truck Collision in Bryan?

More than one party may be involved in your case. Large trucks are often owned and operated by trucking companies, capable of being held responsible for their employees’ actions. Other contributing factors in your accident could also point to additional liable parties.

We can investigate if any of the following played a role:

  • Truck drivers
  • Trucking companies
  • Maintenance shops
  • Auto manufacturers
  • Cargo loading crew
  • Government entity
  • Other drivers
  • Construction crews

Who is held responsible will depend on the type of careless act that led to the accident.

Negligence in Truck Accident Cases

Any action or inaction that causes preventable harm could be considered negligence and form the basis of your case. However, some common types of negligence are:

  • Drowsy driving
  • Violating hours of service
  • Driving under the influence
  • Failure to check blind spots
  • Speeding
  • Following too closely
  • Improper cargo loading
  • Product defects
  • Poor road maintenance

We can connect negligence with the negligent party. For instance, poor road maintenance could leave the city of Bryan responsible. Problems with the truck itself could indicate a lack of repairs or faulty equipment. We investigate all options.
