The damages available to you are dependent on the specific facts of your trucking accident case. Typically, the three categories of damages available to a plaintiff in a trucking case are economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages. Economic damages include past medical bills, future medical bills, property damage, and lost wages. Noneconomic damages include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and lost quality of life. You also may be entitled to punitive damages if the defendant willingly put you in harm’s way.
