There’s a world of difference between a car accident and a truck accident when it comes time to sue the driver at fault. The severity of the injuries that typically result from a trucking wreck usually means that you won’t be looking at a $30,000 or $75,000 claim – you might need hundreds of thousands to support your family through a long recovery, or millions to help you adapt to a permanent disability.

After a serious accident, you may have injuries ranging from whiplash to paralysis, and no matter the injury, you will probably need medical care. If your injuries are the result of someone else’s negligence, you may have a right to compensation to cover medical costs and other financial losses, so you can recover without having to worry about your finances.
A personal injury attorney is a lawyer who represents people who have been injured, physically or psychologically, as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of another person, company, government agency, or other entity. Personal injury attorneys predominantly practice in the area of law known as tort law. Tort law is the body of law that allows persons to seek compensation for wrongs committed against them. When someone is injured by the actions or negligence of another, they may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover damages. The goal of personal injury law is to make the injured party whole again and to prevent others from being harmed in the same way. Compensation in a personal injury case may include damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. In some cases, punitive damages may also be available.
If you have been hurt in an accident that was caused by someone else, you may be able to file a personal injury claim. However, the process of filing a claim and pursuing compensation can be complex. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the legal system, gather evidence, and build a strong case. In addition, an attorney can negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf and fight for a fair settlement. If your case goes to trial, an attorney will also be able to represent you in court. By working with a personal injury attorney, you can increase your chances of obtaining the compensation you deserve.
