In a trucking accident lawsuit you can claim all of the financial costs of the accident, including past medical and repair bills as well as the cost of any medical care you will need in the future. You can also claim the cost of time off work, or a lifetime of lost wages if the victim can no longer work. And injured people, or those who lost a loved one, can claim damages for the physical pain and emotional anguish of the accident, their injuries and any death or permanent disability.
