If you were injured in a truck accident in Tennessee or Kentucky, you may be entitled to compensation for several different types of financial and non-economic damages, including:

Medical Bills: If you were involved in a big truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation to cover:

• Hospital bills incurred after the accident
• Surgical costs
• Future care that you might need as a result of your injuries
• Rehabilitation or physical therapy needed to heal injuries
• Prescription medication and medical equipment, such as a wheelchair or knee brace

Lost Wages: Involvement in a tractor-trailer accident can be particularly traumatic because of the amount of time it can take to recover from such a forceful crash. Full recovery, if possible, can take months or even years. In the meantime, you may not be able to work to support yourself or your family. If you are a single-income household or the breadwinner for your family, this can be especially devastating. In a personal injury lawsuit, you may be able to recover damages for the time that you lost from work, and even loss of future earning capacity if you have been permanently disabled and will be unable to work again.

Non-Economic Damages: If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a tractor-trailer accident, then you don’t need to be told how physically and emotionally traumatic the experience can be. Although this type of trauma can’t be calculated into a dollar amount, a personal injury lawsuit may still allow you to recover damages for the emotional anguish and physical pain that you are suffering as a result of the accident.

Funeral Expenses: If you have lost a loved one in a tractor-trailer accident, you may be able to recover expenses related to the funeral or cremation service.
