Rhode Island Truck Accident Attorney

Truck Accidents Are Devastating in Every Sense of the Word. Here Are Some of the Damages You Might Face.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) explains that a large truck can weigh up to 30 times more than the vehicle it strikes. Weight itself is a danger during a traffic accident, as a vehicle’s frame can only absorb so much force.

Truck accident attorneys know this and know what damages to look for. They will ensure your compensation demand includes the following:

• The medical costs you face after the accident, which may come from emergency treatment, diagnostic procedures, surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care
• Non-economic damages, generally known as pain and suffering, which can include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, sleep problems, lost quality of life, scarring and disfigurement, and several other hardships associated with truck accidents
• Any mental health treatment costs related to your accident
• The cost of vehicle repairs and temporary transportation following the crash, or the cost of replacing your vehicle if it was totaled
• The professional cost of the accident, which can include lost wages, missed professional opportunities, diminished earning capacity, lost benefits, and other damages

Whatever the nature of your injuries and the cost of your damages, your truck accident attorney will pursue a settlement that covers your losses.

How a Truck Accident Lawyer Will Add Immense Value to Your Case

Experienced personal injury lawyers will tell you that truck accident cases are a different beast. These cases can:

• Pit you against large, powerful trucking companies (and their insurance company) that fight your lawyer every step of the way (possibly by withholding crucial evidence that would help your case)
• Involve a complicated web of laws, insurance rules, trucking industry regulations, and technical information
• Require more time, effort, and fight than many other case types
• Ultimately, it will lead you to intense settlement negotiations, a high-stakes court case, or both

Stress can be disastrous to the health of truck accident survivors, who are often in a compromised physical and psychological condition. Allow your lawyer to reduce your stress and assist you by:

• Identifying liable parties: Many parties can be responsible for a truck accident. Your lawyer will examine the actions of the truck driver, other trucking company employees, and anyone else whose negligence may have contributed to the crash.
• Documenting your accident’s economic and non-economic costs: Your attorney might prove your damages with testimony from doctors, mental health professionals, and others who can speak reliably about your accident-related losses. Direct evidence of your damages, including medical bills and financial statements, should also prove the cost of your truck accident.
• Seeking a fair settlement: Truck accident attorneys are often able to convince liable parties to compensate survivors fairly. Getting a fair settlement is difficult, but your legal team will fight tooth and nail for what you need. They know how to negotiate for a settlement covering all your losses.
• Going to trial, if necessary: Expect to be in close touch with your attorney throughout your case. Your lawyer will tell you as much if going to trial becomes possible. If you and your legal team decide that a trial is worth the effort and cost, your lawyer will file a lawsuit and make your case in court.
• Being your advocate and advisor throughout the case: Your lawyer is on your side. They will lend you advice, address your questions and concerns, and advocate for all case-related matters.
