Should I File a Claim for a Truck Accident Injury?

Whether you were injured in a truck accident today, yesterday, or anytime in the recent past, if the accident was caused by the other party, then you can file a claim to have them pay for any injuries sustained during the accident and any costs related to the injury. In personal injury law, these expenses are referred to as “compensatory damages.” There are also “punitive damages,” which the court may require the at-fault party to pay to you as a penalty for committing negligence in the first place.

Therefore, if you are struggling to pay for the costs of your medical bills, missed time off work, or sustained a severe injury, it would be advisable to file a truck accident claim to attempt to recover such damages. These cases can also result in the claimant receiving monetary compensation for the following damages:

• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Vehicle damage
• Hospital bills
• Physical therapy and other rehabilitation costs

Since truck accidents usually result in severe injuries, another benefit of filing a claim is that injured individuals may find some peace of mind knowing that the at-fault party who harmed them is being held accountable for what happened, preventing the same tragedy from befalling others in the future.

At Alpert Schreyer, we understand that handling legal red tape while you are trying to recover from a life-changing injury may seem like too much to take on. If you work with our firm, our lawyers will help with every step of the legal process and handle bureaucratic barriers on your behalf.

Maryland Statute of Limitations for Truck Accident Claims

Often, a truck accident claim will deal with the wrongful death of a loved one. These claims have a different statute of limitations than truck accident claims filed for a personal injury. If you are considering filing a claim, it is advisable to consult a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible to determine which statute of limitations you need to adhere to and whether any other deadlines apply to your case. Missing the statute of limitations means that the court will be unlikely to even hear your case.
