Recoverable Damages in a McAllen, TX, 18-Wheeler Truck Accident Case

When a tractor-trailer hits a passenger vehicle, the injuries and property damages can be substantial. We will conduct a full investigation to uncover your expenses and losses related to the accident. We will use the evidence we collect to build a strong case that gets you the compensation you deserve.

We will not know the exact damages you suffered until after our investigation has been completed. Damages available in this type of case generally include:

  • Medical treatment and related expenses
  • Ongoing care costs
  • Lost wages and benefits
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • The repair or replacement of your vehicle
  • Other property damages
  • Rental car costs
  • Miscellaneous expenses related to your accident
  • Pain and suffering

Future Losses Associated with Your Injuries

Along with pursuing your current losses, we can make sure your settlement takes your future losses into account, as well. Due to the size and power of 18-wheelers and semi trucks, accidents involving these trucks can lead to severe injuries that may require months or years of treatment. You do not want to accept a settlement that does not fairly cover you for these losses, especially since you will not be able to seek additional compensation in the future.

We may discuss your injuries with your doctors to determine how they will affect your life going forward. Then, we can calculate your future losses by using a variety of methods. You may also qualify for loss of quality of life, for example, if your injuries prevent you from enjoying the activities you once did before the accident.

Insurers are quick to offer a settlement that may not cover these future losses, and we can prevent you from accepting an offer that is not fair. Our aim is for your to suffer no further harm as a result of your McAllen 18-wheeler or semi truck accident.

You Need to Act Quickly to Protect Your Right to Recovery

It is imperative that we act quickly in 18 wheeler and semi-truck accident cases. After this type of accident, much of the evidence to support our case against the at-fault party lies in the hands of the trucking company. We need to act to preserve this evidence because it could be vital in your case.

In addition, Texas law only gives us a limited amount of time to take legal action in an accident case. If we do not file a personal injury lawsuit by the two-year anniversary of your accident, the court will likely prevent us from taking any legal action in your case.

While this does not directly apply to cases where we can reach an out-of-court settlement, we need to ensure we can still file a civil suit if necessary in case we cannot reach an agreement.
