Legal Damages and Compensation Available in Truck Accident Lawsuits

If you have been injured in a truck crash, you have the right to hold the wrongdoer responsible for all harm caused by their actions. The financial costs of a truck accident are staggering; from medical bills to lost wages, truck accident victims are often financially devastated and unable to enjoy the life they led before the accident. This injustice is the very reason personal injury law was formed and the very wrong it seeks to remedy.

Under Texas law, if another person’s negligence injured you, you are entitled to recover economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are the financial costs associated with an injury. These include medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, and changes in future income. For instance, if you are seriously injured and cannot return to work, the wrongdoer must provide you with financial compensation to offset your lost earnings.

Non-economic damages focus on your mental, physical, and emotional harm. A severe injury is a traumatic event that leads to dramatic life changes. While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact value of these losses, the law provides compensation for pain and suffering, changes in lifestyle, and other intangible harms caused by an injury. These damages are often significant because they change a person’s quality of life. For instance, losing the ability to play with your children is invaluable, and the wrongdoer must be held accountable when their actions take that right away.

Our truck accident attorneys will build your case to ensure you receive all compensation you are entitled to under the law. 

Our Houston Lawyers Prosecute All Types of Commercial Vehicle Claims

Following a truck accident, it is crucial to begin the investigation and litigation process as soon as possible. Trucking companies are very familiar with litigation and move quickly to escape liability. Waiting to begin the litigation process may allow important evidence to be lost, making it more difficult to prove liability and damages.

Additionally, under Texas law, the statute of limitations in personal injury cases is two years from the date of injury. This two-year deadline acts as a bar to recovery. If the lawsuit is not filed within two years, your right to sue the trucking company is lost.

At The Ammons Law Firm, we immediately notify the trucking company and all other interested parties of a pending lawsuit and identify all evidence that needs to be preserved. This ensures that no evidence is lost from the accident and gives us time to formulate a legal strategy against all potential parties long before the statute of limitations runs.

Hold All Responsible Parties Accountable

A truck accident case has many potentially responsible parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, shipping company, service and repair company, and manufacturer of the truck or parts. Truck drivers and their companies are generally the first parties sued. However, as litigation advances and further information is revealed, it is not uncommon for more parties to be added to the lawsuit. This ensures that all wrongdoers are held accountable for their actions, and you receive all compensation you are entitled to under the law.

Once all parties are properly identified and joined in the lawsuit, it is the job of your attorney to negotiate a favorable settlement on your behalf. If the parties cannot agree on a settlement amount, we get to bring your case to trial, and we will have a jury determine who is responsible and award you damages according to the injuries you suffered in the crash.
