What damages are auto and truck accident victims entitled to?

Victims of motor vehicle accidents may be entitled to compensation for the often-overwhelming expenses associated with physical and emotional injuries suffered as a result of another driver's negligence or carelessness. Auto and truck accident victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, property damage, lost income, diminished earning capacity, emotional distress, as well as pain and suffering. Since putting a dollar amount on a victim's emotional distress is inherently difficult, it is essential that injured parties attain experienced lawyers to provide expert representation. The auto and truck accident lawyers at Wiley & Terrell — serving Columbia, Springfield, and Missouri victims statewide — know how to help you get the compensation you deserve.

I was involved in a truck accident. Do I have any legal recourse beyond suing the driver?

Victims of semi-tractor trailer accidents or 18-wheeler accidents do have options beyond suing the truck driver. In addition to the driver, potential truck accident lawsuit defendants include the trucking company, contractors, employers, and insurance companies. In assessing and presenting your case, our auto and truck accident lawyers — serving Springfield, Columbia, and Missouri victims statewide — will identify as many potential defendants as possible to maximize your claim. However, proving third-party liability is difficult and requires an experienced, skilled attorney. At Wiley & Terrell we have obtained substantial cash awards both in and out of court for numerous clients.

I was injured by an uninsured driver. Will I have to pay for the damages out-of-pocket?

If you have been involved in a motorcycle, auto, or truck accident in which the other party is uninsured or underinsured, you may be able to pursue a claim against your own insurance company. You should not be responsible for the negligence or carelessness of another driver. If you have been injured by an uninsured driver, contact our truck and auto accident lawyers in Crane and Springfield, Missouri. The process of collecting damages from your own insurance company is often very difficult and sometimes overwhelming, especially for individuals who have been seriously injured. Claims may be delayed, underpaid, or even wrongfully denied. Wiley & Terrell can help you through this emotionally draining process.

I have suffered injuries as the result of an auto defect. Who will pay for my medical and other expenses?

Victims of car or truck defects — including defective tires, seatbelts, brakes, and child seats — suffer as the result of the carelessness or incompetence of designers and manufacturers. When components designed for occupant safety fail, victims are entitled to compensation. Our auto and truck accident lawyers will consult with design experts, engineers, and restraint-system experts to determine where the fault for your injuries lies. We will help hold responsible parties liable for their actions. If you are the victim of an automotive defect, contact our auto and truck accident lawyers and arrange a consultation today.
