Truck Accident Recoveries in Wisconsin
A fair and just recovery may include:
- Medical damages: Medical costs include your past, current, and future hospital stays, surgeries, doctors’ visits, medications, rehabilitation therapies, assistive devices and other costs directly related to the treatment of your accident injuries.
- Out-of-pocket costs: The out-of-pocket money you have to pay for your property damage, transportation costs, and other accident expenses may be part of your recovery.
- Lost income: If you are unable to work, or unable to work the same hours or for the same wages as you did prior to the accident then you may be able to recover for your past, present and future lost income. If you are self-employed, lost income includes the income you would have earned during your incapacity.
- Pain and suffering: Your physical pain and emotional suffering are compensable, even if they are harder to value then your other damages.
However, in order to recover these damages, you are likely going to have to fight for justice.
What You Need to Know If You’ve Been Hurt in a Madison, WI Truck Crash
The legal process for recovering damages can be confusing and overwhelming. As you negotiate your recovery, you will need to know about:
- Collecting evidence at the scene of the crash: Important information that can help you later may be available at the scene of your accident.
- How to get a copy of your police report: You can request a copy of your police report from the municipality in which your crash occurred or from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
- What to avoid doing after an accident: Certain mistakes can hurt your chances of a fair recovery. Thus, it is important to know what you should avoid doing so that your recovery is protected.
- How to deal with insurance adjusters: Insurance adjusters are looking to pay you as little as possible for your injuries, so it is important for you to know how to talk with them to protect your recovery.
- The statute of limitations: Generally, you have three years to file a personal injury case in Wisconsin. However, there are exceptions to this rule. If you fail to file on time, then you may not be able to bring a claim or make a fair recovery.
- Standing to sue: If you were the one hurt, or if you had a certain relationship with a victim who died, in the crash then you will have standing to sue for damages in a Wisconsin court.
- Comparative negligence: Wisconsin follows a modified comparative negligence rule that may allow you to recover damages for your accident injuries even if you were partially to blame for the crash; however, your damages may be reduced or denied completely, depending on your degree of negligence.
- How settlements work: Settlements are complicated and each settlement is unique. However, strong evidence and advocacy may make a fair settlement more likely.
- How to decide whether you need a Madison tuck accident lawyer: If you were seriously injured or if you lost a loved one in a crash, then you likely need a Madison truck crash lawyer to help with your recovery.
