Truck accidents are life-changing experiences that can cause significant injuries or even death. If you or a loved one was injured or passed away in a truck accident, you could be entitled to compensation. To receive compensation, you must prove the truck driver or company was at fault for your injuries.
Our attorneys have handled truck accident cases before and know about any legal barriers that may arise. An Arlington truck accident lawyer from Loncar Lyon Jenkins will fight for victims of truck accidents.
It is important to hold the liable party accountable for causing your injuries. We will focus on the legal matters so you can focus on recovering from the trauma and injuries you sustained from the accident.
How Much Is My Truck Accident Case Worth?
Because each truck accident case is different, there is no standard amount a plaintiff could receive in a truck accident case. The compensation you receive depends on the circumstances of your individual case.
The damages you incurred play a role in the amount of money you could receive. Our attorneys will review your damages to determine how much compensation we will seek in your claim.
Recoverable Damages
Recoverable damages are the amount of money the courts require someone to pay for injuring someone else. In a truck accident case, you could recover economic or non-economic damages.
Economic damages are verifiable monetary losses you incurred because of your injuries. They are easier to calculate because there is usually a receipt or bill associated with their cost. Economic damages you could recover in a truck accident case include:
- Medical bills
- Future medical bills
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost earnings
- Diminished earning capacity
- Property damage
Non-economic damages are subjective, non-monetary losses. These damages are harder to calculate because there is not an exact value associated with the loss. An attorney from our firm will review these damages to determine the value of compensation we will seek. Non-economic damages you could recover in a truck accident case include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disfigurement
- Loss of Enjoyment
Wrongful Death Damages
If your loved one passed away in a truck accident, first we want to extend our sincerest condolences. We understand how devastating this type of loss can be. You could recover the following in damages if your loved one passed away from a truck accident:
- Final medical expenses
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of consortium, which is the loss of support or companionship when your loved one passed away

Common Causes of Truck Accidents
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) puts safety regulations in place to limit the number of truck accidents. These regulations include a limit on the number of hours a driver can work. Driver fatigue is a common cause of truck accidents, and limiting working hours has alleviated some of these accidents from happening.
Even though there are safety protocols, accidents still happen. Common causes of truck accidents besides driver fatigue include:
- Drug or alcohol use, as it can severely impact a truck driver’s ability to operate their vehicle the way it was designed
- Driver error, such as speeding or failing to monitor blind spots
- Equipment problems with the truck, such as the breaks going out or defective tires
- Improper loading of the truck, which can cause a truck rollover
- Weather conditions, such as rain, snow, sleet, or ice on the roads
