What Compensation Can be Recovered in a Laredo TX Commercial Vehicle Accident Claim?

If you have suffered an injury or other damages from a commercial vehicle accident in Laredo, Texas, you may have the right to pursue rightful compensation with the support of an expert attorney.

While any collision has the potential to cause serious harm to the driver of a passenger vehicle, those that involve commercial vehicles (semi-trucks, delivery vans, certain construction vehicles, etc.) represent far more danger. No matter the damages, the Laredo TX accident lawyers at Carabin Shaw are ready to fight for the justice you and your loved ones deserve.

Read on to learn about the forms of compensation that you can recover after a Laredo, TX, commercial collision, and how the lawyers at Carabin Shaw can help.

What Compensation Can You Recover Through a Laredo Commercial Vehicle Accident Claim

The value of your claim during the legal process varies depending on the type of damages you suffered as a result of your accident and their severity. However, commercial vehicle collision claims often have higher values because of how much more dangerous they are to drivers, with the mortality rate of crashes going up 6.8% since 2019, as reported by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Compensation for a commercial vehicle accident in Laredo can include economic damages and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

These include any damages that have a clear value assigned to them. They include:

  • Medical expenses, past or future.
  • Lost wages due to missing work, or loss of projected future wages due to permanent disabilities.
  • Property damage, such as costs associated with repairing your vehicle.
Non-Economic Damages

Seeking commercial vehicle accident compensation can also see that you are reimbursed for less clearly defined damages, such as:

  • Pain and suffering caused by the collision.
  • Emotional distress, such as PTSD or new anxieties.
  • Loss of consortium, the loss of personal relationships as a result of the collision.

Non-economic damages are particularly difficult for many accident victims to accurately assess on their own, meaning that the support of a Laredo commercial vehicle accident lawyer is invaluable. However, working with an expert lawyer helps with any commercial accident claim.

How Attorneys Help You Win Your Maximum Compensation

The process of filing a claim and fighting for the settlement that you deserve can be a complex and draining one. This is especially true in commercial collision cases, where there can be multiple liable parties for your damages.

An experienced attorney can ensure that all liable parties are held responsible and can address all of the factors that influence the value of your claim.

These influences include the extent of your injuries or damages, the ratio of fault held by each collision participant, the limits associated with certain insurance policies, etc. The faster you act, the sooner you can focus on your recovery.

Preserving Your Maximum Settlement Through Swift Action

Oftentimes, the value of a personal injury claim has a shelf life. Texas has a two-year statute of limitations on civil claims, according to the Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Quick action protects the evidence associated with your claim and the memories of those who were involved.
