There are several types of damages you can claim in a personal injury lawsuit after being involved in a truck accident. Claims for medical expenses are key among these, but you can also claim damages for lost wages, diminished employment opportunities, pain and suffering, and more.
If you have been involved in a semi accident, injuries may be as minor as a few cuts and bruises, or as serious as paralysis of some other permanent disability. Some injuries many not even produce symptoms immediately and may require medical care down the road.

- Physical and/or cognitive therapy
