The opening statement is each party’s first opportunity to present their side of the story to the jury. In truck accident cases, strong opening statements frame the narrative, highlight key evidence, and set the tone for the trial.
Truck accident cases often involve complex financial and medical issues. Experts are essential in calculating fair damages that reflect both present and future losses.
Severe truck accidents often leave victims with injuries that require years—or even a lifetime—of medical treatment. Compensation for future medical costs and long-term care is essential to ensure victims are not financially burdened by ongoing needs.
While most damages in truck accident cases are compensatory, punitive damages are different. They are awarded not to compensate the victim but to punish especially reckless behavior and deter future misconduct.
Unlike economic damages, non-economic damages compensate for the intangible losses that cannot be measured with receipts or invoices but deeply affect victims’ lives after a truck accident.
Economic damages are the measurable, financial losses suffered by victims of truck accidents. They are often the foundation of compensation claims, supported by records and expert analysis.
