Recoverable Damages in a Wisconsin Truck Accident Case
After a serious truck accident, the financial and emotional toll can feel overwhelming. You may be unable to work, facing months of medical treatment, or trying to rebuild after losing someone you love. Our law firm partners fight to recover full and fair compensation for victims of truck accidents across Wisconsin.
Compensation in these cases can include economic damages, the tangible financial losses you’ve suffered, and non-economic damages, which account for the personal impact of your injuries. Examples may include:
- Medical expenses, such as emergency care, hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical needs
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity, which include wages you’ve already lost and the future income you may no longer earn
- Property damage, i.e., repairs or replacement for your vehicle and other personal property
- Out-of-pocket costs, such as transportation, medical equipment, and other expenses related to your recovery
- Pain and suffering, which can include physical pain, emotional distress, and lasting trauma caused by the crash
If the crash was fatal, families may also pursue wrongful death damages for funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship.
The Goldwater Law Firm can connect you with an 18-wheeler accident lawyer in Wisconsin from one of our co-counsels near you who can determine what compensation you can recover.
Frequently Asked Questions
Determining who is responsible for a truck accident is rarely simple. Unlike a typical car crash, several parties may share liability for a single collision. Depending on the circumstances, the truck driver, trucking company, cargo loader, maintenance contractor, or even the vehicle or parts manufacturer could be partly to blame. Each of these parties may have separate insurance policies, legal teams, and layers of protection designed to limit their responsibility.
Because of this complexity, you want to work with an experienced truck accident lawyer who understands how to uncover and prove negligence in these cases.
In most cases, Wisconsin law gives you three years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit (Wis. Stat. § 893.54). While that may seem like plenty of time, acting quickly is important. Critical evidence, such as driver logs, black box data, and maintenance records, can disappear or be destroyed soon after a crash. Contacting The Goldwater Law Firm right away allows our team to connect you with a law firm partner who can begin preserving evidence and protecting your right to compensation.
If the trucking company’s insurance representative contacts you, it’s best not to give a recorded statement or accept any offer before speaking with an attorney. Insurance adjusters are trained to protect their company’s profits, not your interests. They may use your words against you to reduce or deny your claim. When you contact The Goldwater Law Firm, we can connect you with a Wisconsin truck accident lawyer who will handle all communications with the insurance company and fight for a fair settlement on your behalf.
Hiring a truck accident lawyer doesn’t require any upfront payment. Our law firm partners work on a contingency fee basis, meaning their payment depends entirely on the outcome of your case. You won’t ever pay hourly rates, retainers, or hidden fees. Instead, your attorney only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you through a settlement or court award. This ensures that everyone, regardless of financial situation, has access to experienced legal representation after a serious accident.
