Yes, you may recover damages for the physical pain and emotional suffering that you endure after a truck wreck. Since the moment you were hurt you may have realized that your physical pain and your emotional suffering were among the most costly and significant of the injuries that you suffered.
Truck Accidents Are Among the Hardest to Value
While the law allows you to recover for your pain and suffering, there are no bills or documentation that you can submit to prove the value of these damages. Instead, you are going to have to present evidence to the insurance company during settlement negotiations or to the court during litigation to prove how badly you’ve been hurt and how your injuries have impacted your life.
Such documentation could include:
- Medical records that show the extent of your injury and reflect on your physical pain.
- Evidence of treatment you’ve received by a mental health professional.
- A diary of the activities that you missed because of your injuries and the daily living activities that you struggle with since your injury.
- Statements from friends and family members about how your injury has impacted your life.
Your injury is unique, however, and you may have additional evidence to present that helps to prove the value of your pain and suffering.
