Taking on a Major Insurance Company in a Commercial Truck Accident Injury Case

The truck accident injury legal team at The Doan Law Firm understands how big insurance companies do business. Our legal team understands why these huge corporations are in business in the first place.

An automobile insurance company has one primary goal and that is to make money for its shareholders. One key strategy an insurance company employs to increase its profits is limiting the amount of money it pays to injured people like you with valid claims. This even includes people with severe, life-altering injuries like paralysis.

A commercial truck accident injury attorney from our firm has mastered the strategies and tactics necessary to meet an insurance company head-on. We powerfully fight an insurance company to obtain justice and the compensation you deserve in your case.

Compensation in a Commercial Truck Accident Injury Case

If you suffered paralysis as the result of a big rig accident, nothing can ever completely restore your life. Nonetheless, we will work diligently to ensure that you do get the compensation you deserve, to ensure that a sense of justice is restored in your life.

The nature and extent of compensation you receive in a commercial truck accident injury case does revolve around the facts of the accidents and the extent of your injuries. When you suffer a permanent disability like paralysis you deserve compensation that restores at least some sense of balance in your life on a number of different fronts.

Examples of the general types of losses for which we fight to obtain compensation for you include:

• medical bills and expenses
• pain and suffering
• permanent disability
• permanent disfigurement
• lost income

With a permanent disability like paralysis, a special emphasis must be on ensuring that you obtain compensation for this type of ongoing loss. Components of this compensation include money for ongoing medical care and treatment, lost income, and associated damages.

Depending on the nature of the accident and the surrounding facts, you may also be entitled to what are called punitive or exemplary damages. Punitive or exemplary damages represent additional compensation awarded to you in a lawsuit when the conduct of the party causing the accident is considered particularly reckless.

There are two purposes behind punitive or exemplary damages. As mentioned, they serve to provide you additional compensation in your case. In addition, punitive damages provide a means of punishing the party that caused an accident for what is determined to be particularly egregious conduct.
