Our Team Will Track Your Truck Accident Injuries
The costs of treating the injuries you sustained in the accident are recoverable. When we represent you, we make sure all injury-related medical care is carefully tracked and documented. This helps us ensure none of your medical expenses are omitted or overlooked.
We track your injuries and expenses by collecting your:
- Medical records
- Rehab records
- Therapy records
We also obtain a written prognosis from each of your treating physicians. It helps us establish the anticipated costs of the medical care you require to treat your injuries.
Recover Medical Care and More After a Truck Accident
You can recover more than healthcare expenses following your truck accident. We also fight to recover the following damages that stem from your injuries:
- Lost income you incur when your injuries and recovery force you to stop working
- Physical pain and suffering for the trauma your body endures due to your injuries
- Mental and emotional distress you experience while coping with the accident’s aftermath
- Property damage, total loss, or diminished value of your accident-involved vehicle
- Compensation for any physical disabilities or disfigurement caused by the accident
You can also recover wrongful death-related damages if someone you love was fatally injured in the accident. In that instance, you could recover the cost of their funeral, burial, and end-of-life care costs.
