Tractor-trailer collisions tend to involve serious to catastrophic injuries and lead to long-lasting and complex medical issues. Commonly referred to as 18-wheelers or simply trucks, these vehicles can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when full of cargo. Therefore, tractor-trailers tend to cause severe damage to others on the road. When a collision occurs, it’s essential to consult an attorney to ensure you get what damages you deserve.
Tractor-Trailer Damages Recoverable
North Carolina law allows victims of tractor-trailer collisions several elements of monetary damages. This compensation can help get your life back on track or, in cases of wrongful death, support a family who has lost a valued member.
Crash victims or their families may sue for damages, including:
- Past and future medical and pharmaceutical expenses.
- Lost wages (Past & Future)
- Physical pain and mental suffering
- Permanent injury & scarring
Maginnis Howard will, if appropriate, consult with life care planners, vocational rehabilitation experts, and expert physicians. These experts can shed light on an individual’s injuries and treatment and prove how much is needed to recover.
