Types of Damages Injured Truck Accident Victims Can Pursue

According to Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) research, vehicle occupants are more likely to sustain serious or life-threatening injuries than truck occupants in an accident. To recover the costs of treating truck accident injuries, our UPS truck accident lawyers serving Johnstown will request these economic damages:

• Known and anticipated medical expenses
• Known and anticipated lost wages
• Loss of the ability to earn in the future
• Property damage, loss, or diminishment

Learn more about recovering economic damages that might otherwise come out of your pocket. Contact Berger and Green today for a free initial consultation.

Pain and Suffering and Non-Economic Damages for Injured Clients

The damages you recover for pain and suffering compensate you for the physical discomfort and inconvenience of your injuries and the rigors of recovery. Additional compensation for non-economic damages include:

• Disfiguring and disabling conditions
• Mental and emotional trauma
• Loss of enjoyment of life

We collect your medical records, prognosis, and your own written statement on the toll your injuries have taken on your life and lifestyle. 

Wrongful Death Damages for Surviving Families in Johnstown, Pennsylvania

Our Johnstown UPS truck accident attorneys will file a wrongful death and survivor claim for your family after the loss of a loved one. Wrongful death damages include:

• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of companionship
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of domestic support
• Loss of financial support
• Loss of guidance

Survival damages, on the other hand, allow you to recover damages your loved one would have recovered had they survived to file a personal injury action. Your family deserves time to focus on taking care of each other. While you do, we focus on your financial recovery.

Pennsylvania Law Limits Your Time to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit

You generally have two years to file your wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit, according to Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. Our legal team will help you meet the filing deadline and avoid the costly consequences of filing your lawsuit too late. 

The majority of claims like yours will be settled out of court. To steer your claim in that direction, we build a strong evidence collection that includes:

• Employment records
• Expert testimonials
• First responder reports
• Medical treatment bills
• Medical care records
• Accident scene photos and video
• Truck accident report
• Truck maintenance records
• Trucker license history
• Trucker logbook
• Witness statements

Instead of burdening you or your family with this potentially daunting task, our legal team handles evidence collection, including submitting a comprehensive case file to the insurance company.

Our Investigation Will Identify All Potentially Liable Parties in Your Accident

The evidence we collect will prove the legal elements of negligence—duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. It will also identify one or more responsible parties, which can include UPS, their truck driver, or a third party. 

Our investigation will uncover the right party to pursue for damages. Our law firm will pursue all liable parties and seek maximum compensation from all applicable insurance companies.
