What You Can Expect from Our Warrenton 18-Wheeler Accident Lawyers
Meet our founder, Attorney Jim Parrish. He started his career protecting insurance companies from paying high-value claims. Then, after years of watching billion-dollar companies take advantage of injured people, he decided to open his own personal injury firm.
When you entrust us with your truck accident case, we will:
- Listen to your story during a free, no-obligation case evaluation
- Gather evidence, such as police reports, witness interview statements, maintenance logs, and electronic logging device data
- Examine factors unique to truck accidents, including federal or state trucking regulations
- Identify the negligent party or parties, which may include the trucker, their employer, a maintenance company, or a shipping company
- Communicate with insurance companies and other liable parties
- Build a strong legal strategy based on the facts of your case
- Pursue compensation for each of your losses
How much do you have to pay for these services? Nothing. Since we first opened in April 2004, we’ve operated on a contingency-fee basis. In this arrangement, you pay nothing upfront or out of pocket for our help. We only get our attorney’s fees if you get compensation.
Our Lawyers Can Prove Negligence in Your Warrenton 18-Wheeler Case
To recover damages, we must show how another party’s negligence resulted in your accident and injuries. This involves illustrating these four elements:
- Duty of care: Another party owed you a duty of care. For instance, truckers have a duty of care to drive responsibly.
- Breach of duty: Another party violated their duty of care. In the above example, the trucker violated their duty of care by speeding.
- Causation: The other party’s breach partially or wholly caused the accident and resulting injuries. Moreover, the victim would not have sustained their injuries “but for” the breach of duty.
- Damages: Finally, we must show that you incurred damages as a result of the 18-wheeler collision.
We understand that these elements can get confusing. Don’t worry about them; that’s our job. Our lawyers prove your case’s required elements by investigating the crash and gathering key evidence, including the police report and eyewitness testimony.
Recoverable Damages in Warrenton 18-Wheeler Truck Accident Injury Cases
In 18-wheeler accident injury cases, the recoverable damages depend on the nature and severity of your condition. However, in many 18-wheeler accident cases, we’ve recovered:
- Medical expenses. Compensation can account for past and future medical expenses to cover emergency treatment, hospital bills, surgeries, medication, therapy, and medical equipment.
- Lost wages. If the injuries from the accident caused you to take time off work, you could seek financial recovery for your tips, bonuses, and benefits. If your injury permanently affects your earning power, you can also seek damages for loss of future earning capacity.
- “Pain and suffering” and inconvenience. This accounts for the accident’s effect on your physical and emotional health.
- Loss of quality of life. The accident may have transformed your quality of life, leaving you unable to work and attend to your daily tasks. Compensation through a settlement or court award can account for this hardship.
When Attorney Jim Parrish and his team take your case, they intend to recover everything related to your accident and injuries.
Recoverable Damages in Fatal Warrenton 18-Wheeler Accident Cases
Recoverable damages in wrongful death cases are outlined in the Code of Virginia § 8.01–52. They include:
- Loss of the decedent’s income and support, including wages, benefits, and other financial contributions
- Loss of the decedent’s services, protection, care, and assistance, including household chores, childcare, and other support
- Emotional anguish, grief, and sorrow experienced by the decedent’s surviving family members
- Loss of the decedent’s companionship and guidance
- The decedent’s funeral, cremation, or burial expenses
We know that compensation does little to assuage your grief in the aftermath of losing a loved one. Yet, it can offer closure and a measure of justice.
