Compensation For Car vs. Truck Accidents
An accident involving a car vs. a large truck can be the fault of the driver of the car, the driver of the truck, or a third party. If the accident is caused by truck driver negligence, trucking company negligence, a defect in the roadway, or a defect in the truck, the occupants of the passenger vehicle (or their families, in cases of fatal accidents), may be entitled to compensation. Damages awarded in a personal injury claim may include money for medical care expenses, lost earnings and wages, physical pain and emotional suffering, and other accident related expenses. Damages awarded in a Northern California wrongful death claim may include money for final medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, anticipated future earnings and benefits of the decedent, and loss of love, care, and companionship.
