Damages Our Injury Attorneys Can Seek After an Erie, PA, Fatal Truck Accident

The National Safety Council (NSC) explains that fatal truck accidents cost, on average, more than $1.77 million—and that is only a partial list of the damages a wrongful death can cause. Losing a loved one affects survivors in many ways, and may cause:

Pain and Suffering (Including Grief)

Grief is a given when our lawyers represent wrongful death victims. We must evaluate the nature of your grief and any other psychological and emotional consequences of your loved one’s passing. Your financial recovery should reflect:

• Grief
• Depression
• Grief-related substance abuse 
• Lost sleep
• Suicidal thoughts
• Treatment costs for your pain and suffering

We have relationships with mental health professionals who evaluate our clients’ losses. They may even help you find the treatment you need for pain and suffering.

Lost Financial Support (Including Services the Decedent Provided You)

Fatal truck accidents often cause long-ranging financial consequences for surviving loved ones, with financial pressure resulting from the loss of:

• The decedent’s income
• Any future increases in pay the decedent was likely to earn
• The decedent’s household labor (including chores and handiwork)
• The decedent’s security benefits to the household 
• The decedent’s financial services to the household (like filing taxes and managing investments)
• Any other financial support or services the decedent provided their loved ones

While finances often seem secondary to a survivor’s immense grief, your financial losses will be central to our truck accident lawsuit in Erie.

Loss of Consortium

When you lose a loved one, you also lose:

• Companionship and intimacy they provided as a spouse
• Comfort, guidance, and support they provided as a parent
• The benefits they provided as a sibling or child

Your Erie personal injury lawyer will account for the non-economic benefits you’ve lost from a fatal truck accident. 

Medical Expenses, Accident-Related Costs, and Funeral Expenses

These are three common economic damages our wrongful death lawyers see in fatal truck accident cases. Berger and Green will work to ensure you don’t pay for any funeral expenses, burial costs, medical bills, vehicle repair costs, or other economic damages someone else caused.
