Our trucking accident lawyer is dedicated to assisting individuals who have been involved in truck accidents and ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, it’s important to understand the types of compensation available to you. As a founding partner of Des Moines Injury Law, attorney Chris Johnston knows what it takes to fight for his clients. Below is a breakdown of the compensation options for your truck accident claim.
- Medical Expenses. Truck accidents often result in severe injuries that require immediate medical attention and ongoing treatment. Compensation for medical expenses covers the costs associated with emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and any other medical treatment necessary for your recovery. Our goal is to ensure you receive full compensation for all past, present, and future medical expenses related to your injuries.
- Lost Income and Future Earnings. Following a truck accident, you may be unable to work due to your injuries, resulting in lost wages and income. Compensation for lost income aims to reimburse you for the wages you have already lost due to missed workdays or reduced working hours. Additionally, if your injuries impact your ability to work in the future or require you to switch to a lower-paying job, you may be entitled to compensation for future earning capacity loss. We will work tirelessly to calculate the full extent of your lost income and future earning potential to ensure you receive fair compensation.
- Pain and Suffering. Our trucking accident lawyer in Iowa knows that truck accidents can cause significant physical pain and emotional suffering, impacting your quality of life and well-being. Compensation for pain and suffering is designed to provide monetary relief for the physical discomfort, emotional distress, and mental anguish you have experienced as a result of the accident. While it’s challenging to quantify these non-economic damages, our experienced attorneys will advocate for fair compensation based on the extent of your injuries and their impact on your life.
- Property Damage. In addition to personal injuries, truck accidents often result in damage to your vehicle and other property. Compensation for property damage covers the costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle, as well as any other personal property that was damaged in the accident. Our goal is to ensure you receive full compensation for the repair or replacement of your vehicle and any other damaged property.
- Loss of Consortium. If your injuries have affected your relationship with your spouse or family members, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of consortium. This type of compensation aims to reimburse you for the loss of companionship, affection, and support that you would have otherwise received if not for the accident. We understand the importance of family relationships and will fight to ensure you receive fair compensation for the impact the accident has had on your loved ones.
