A truck accident claimant can seek economic and non-economic damages from
the trucker, trucking company, and any other liable parties. Economic
damage in a truck accident case can include past and future medical bills,
lost wages, and other miscellaneous costs. Non-economic damage can include
pain, suffering, mental anguish, emotional trauma, and permanent disability.
Punitive damages might be paid by the trucking company if a court determines
it had acted grossly negligent in some way, such as intentionally breaking
FMCSA regulations.
