Indianapolis, Indiana 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyer Roscoe Stovall answers:
How are damages determined for serious physical injuries or death in an 18-wheeler or semi-truck accident?
|
|
One can recover damages in an 18-wheeler or semi-truck accident for many different expenses that result from an accident. A crash may create large medical expenses, property damages, and lost wages, and cause pain, suffering, or other emotional or mental health issues. One can receive compensation or payment for all of these things, and the nature and extent of any physical injuries will play a part in determining how much is recovered. After the accident, a party such as an attorney will discuss the potential damage amount with the trucking company's insurance adjustor or representative. If both parties cannot come to an agreement, one can attempt to settle through discussion of the matter with a third, objective party (mediation) or can even leave the final decision up to a third, objective party (arbitration). Beyond these means, a person can take his or her case to court and let a jury decide the amount of damages, if any, that he or she recovers.
