Compensation From a Truck Accident Claim
In a truck accident claim, injured victims may receive various forms of compensation (also called “damages”). You may qualify for economic, non-economic, and, in some cases, punitive damages.
Economic damages cover actual financial losses resulting from the accident. For example, you may get the funds you need to pay for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Property damage
Non-economic damages compensate for losses that don’t have a direct financial value but significantly impact your life. You may qualify for compensation for funds to cover your:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
In rare cases, the court will award punitive damages to punish the at-fault party for gross negligence or intentional misconduct (e.g., a truck driver was intoxicated or the company ignored known safety violations). These damages can deter similar behavior in the future, and the court can award them in addition to compensatory damages.

Listed below are just some of the ways a truck crash lawyer can help victims of trucking accidents:
Assessing the Value of Your Truck Accident Claim
It is important to determine exactly what your claim is worth by considering your current and future financial losses. These may include medical care, property damage, lost earnings, and emotional trauma. We will consider every possibility to value your claim correctly.
Investigating the Causes of Your Crash
Accident reconstruction and a thorough investigation by our in-house private investigators will allow us to determine what caused your truck accident and who should be held legally responsible.
Filing Your Insurance Claim
We will send the insurance company a demand letter, requesting the amount of financial compensation we believe your case is worth. Your North Carolina truck crash attorney will work closely with you to make sure you agree with the amount and that it is in your best interests.
Negotiating With the Insurance Provider
If the trucking company’s insurance provider sends a counteroffer, we will review it to see if it is fair. If the counteroffer is not fair, we will negotiate as necessary to seek the best possible settlement on your behalf.
Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit
We can also help you with a lawsuit if you sustain injuries in a crash involving a commercial truck. We have the training and resources to present your case in front of a judge and jury, and we’re ready to take charge today.
What Causes Trucking Accidents?
Driver fatigue is a significant factor in trucking accidents, which is why trucking laws limit driving hours and prevent drowsy driving. That said, there are many causes of truck accidents.
Any of the following can cause truck accidents:
- Driver drowsiness
- Drunk driving
- Reckless driving
- Inadequate vehicle maintenance
- Distracted driving
- Inadequate driver training
- Improper cargo loading
Any of these accidents can result in severe injuries, including spinal damage, head injuries, lacerations, broken bones, and more. If you or someone you love got hurt in a truck accident, make sure you discuss your options with our North Carolina truck accident attorneys.
Who Could Be Liable for a Truck Accident?
Several parties could be responsible for a trucking accident, and in some cases, they may share liability. If driver error causes an accident, both the driver and the driver’s employer may be liable. In contrast, the vehicle manufacturer would have to cover your losses after crashes caused by mechanical defects.
To determine who could be at fault in your case, it’s always best to discuss the particulars with a knowledgeable truck wreck attorney from at CR Legal Team.
We may pursue the following parties for compensation after a truck accident:
- The trucking company
- The vehicle owner
- The loading company
- The vehicle manufacturer
- The company responsible for vehicle maintenance
- The driver
We know how to identify liable parties when handling truck accident cases. You can reach out to us now to determine who needs to cover your losses after a collision with a large truck.
