Factors that Affect the Value of Your 18 Wheeler Accident Claim

If you've been involved in an 18 wheeler accident, you may be wondering how much compensation you're entitled to receive. The value of your claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the extent of your property damage, and the overall impact the accident has had on your life. In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the factors that can affect the value of your 18 wheeler accident claim.

Severity of Injuries

One of the biggest factors that affects the value of your 18 wheeler accident claim is the severity of your injuries. If you've suffered serious injuries, such as a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or multiple fractures, your claim is likely to be worth more than if you suffered only minor injuries. This is because serious injuries can result in substantial medical bills, ongoing treatment costs, and long-term disabilities or impairments.

Property Damage

Another factor that affects the value of your 18 wheeler accident claim is the extent of your property damage. If your vehicle was severely damaged in the accident, or if you lost valuable personal belongings, this can increase the value of your claim.

Lost Wages and Income

If you were unable to work as a result of your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages and income. This can include not only the wages you lost while recovering from your injuries, but also any future earning potential that has been impacted by your injuries.

Pain and Suffering

In addition to economic damages, such as medical bills and lost wages, you may also be entitled to compensation for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. This includes physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish resulting from the accident.

Liability and Negligence

Finally, the value of your 18 wheeler accident claim will depend on who was at fault for the accident and the degree of negligence involved. If the truck driver or trucking company was found to be negligent in causing the accident, this can increase the value of your claim.

In conclusion, the value of your 18 wheeler accident claim will depend on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the extent of your property damage, and the overall impact the accident has had on your life. By working with a personal injury lawyer, you can ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and other damages.
