What Type of Compensation Could I Receive After a Truck Accident?

Posted Apr 17, 2023

If you are injured in a truck accident in New Jersey, you may be entitled to compensation for various types of damages, including:

  1. Medical expenses: This can include compensation for the cost of medical treatment, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and ongoing care related to your injuries.
  2. Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, including both past and future lost income.
  3. Property damage: If your vehicle or other property was damaged in the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the cost of repairs or replacement.
  4. Pain and suffering: You may be entitled to compensation for physical pain and emotional suffering resulting from the accident, including loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress.
  5. Punitive damages: In cases of egregious or willful misconduct by the trucking company or driver, you may be entitled to punitive damages, which are designed to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

The amount of compensation you may be entitled to will depend on the specific details of your case, including the extent of your injuries and the degree of fault of the parties involved. An experienced truck accident attorney can help you understand your legal rights and pursue the maximum compensation available for your injuries and damages.
