Economic losses are those that result in losing money. For instance, if you need to seek medical care following the truck accident, you will need to pay the medical bill. This can be a costly expense. For this reason, when you file a truck accident claim, you may ask for reimbursement of the economic losses from the truck accident.
Besides medical care expenses, there are some other economic losses you may be eligible to receive from your claim, such as:
- lost wages from not being able to work due to your injuries;
- lost future wages if the injuries leave you disabled
- cost of ambulance services ;
- past, current, and future medication expenses as a result of the truck accident;
- cost of physical therapy for rehabilitation; and
- burial and funeral expenses to relatives if the accident led to fatal injuries.
Economic losses are easier to claim because they have a specific dollar amount. To build your case, keep all documentation from medical treatment and services you receive having to do with the truck accident. The more proof you have that the accident caused you to spend money the better.
