Truck accidents often leave victims with a financial crisis. After an accident, victims face medical bills, lost income, and other out-of-pocket expenses. To make matters worse, many victims have ongoing medical expenses and long-term impacts on their income.
Because of these hardships, one of the first questions that most people have after a crash is, how much is my truck accident case worth?
To answer that question, we need to know more about your case. Truck accidents are a type of personal injury claim. The value of personal injury claims depends on the facts of each case, and values vary significantly from one case to the next.
Some of the factors that have the biggest impact on how much a case is worth are:
Our team of Wisconsin personal injury lawyers can evaluate your case and discuss how much it’s worth. After an accident, you only have one opportunity to get compensation from responsible parties, so it’s important to accurately value your case.
Let our team calculate the fair value of your claim and build a strong case to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
If you successfully bring a personal injury claim against the responsible party, you’re entitled to recover compensatory damages. Compensatory damages are used to put accident victims in the same position they were in before an accident.
There are two types of compensatory damages: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages compensate victims for financial losses, while non-economic damages compensate victims for personal losses.
Common examples of economic damages are:
Common examples of non-economic damages are:
In some cases, punitive damages are also awarded. Unlike compensatory damages, which are available in all personal injury cases, punitive damages are rarely awarded. In Wisconsin, punitive damages are only awarded when a defendant’s conduct is intentional or malicious.
Our firm will analyze your case and determine all the damages you are entitled to. Then, we’ll build a strong case to ensure you get the compensation you need and deserve.
Even if you’re found to be partially responsible for your accident, you can still recover damages. Under Wisconsin’s comparative negligence laws, a victim can recover damages as long as they’re not more than 50% at fault. However, the injured party’s damages are reduced by the percentage of their fault.
For example, if you’re 50% at fault for an accident, you can recover 50% of your damages. However, if you’re 60% at fault, you’re not entitled to recover anything.
It’s common for insurance companies to blame victims for their accidents. This is a tactic used to reduce the value of claims. If you’re being blamed for your accident, don’t panic. Our team will defend you against claims that you were responsible and will ensure your rights are protected.
