What Kind of Settlement Can I Get in my Fort Lauderdale Truck Accident Case?

Suffering an injury in a truck accident doesn't just mean physical pain. It means increased medical bills, the loss of your wrecked vehicle, and emotional and financial dependence on others while you heal.

So it's understandable that the number one question people ask attorneys is: how much can I get in my Fort Lauderdale truck accident case?

 

There are two kinds of damages trucking accident victims can receive:

  • Compensatory (or actual) damages. This is a monetary amount paid to the victim for any harm, losses or injury as a result of the accident. This includes lost wages, property damage and coverage for medical bills.

 

  • Punitive damages. These are damages the trucking company must pay as a result of its negligence. The court orders these damages to punish the company for reckless behavior, hoping to deter them from dangerous business practices in the future.

As experienced Fort Lauderdale truck accident lawyers, we know that no amount of money can make up for the loss of a loved one. But, by pursuing a case against the trucking company that caused your accident, we may be able to prevent the same tragedy happening to someone else.
