Truck accidents can be devastating, both physically and financially. If you've been involved in a truck accident in New York, you may be wondering how compensation is calculated and what options you have for seeking justice. At The Law Offices of Jonathan Van Dina, PLLC, we are here to help guide you through the process and fight for the compensation you deserve.

When it comes to calculating compensation in a New York truck accident case, there are several factors that come into play. One of the most important factors is determining who was at fault for the accident. New York follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that even if you were partially at fault for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation. However, your final award may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. Our experienced attorneys can help gather evidence and build a strong case to prove liability.

In addition to fault, another key factor in calculating compensation is the extent of your injuries and damages. This can include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and more. Insurance companies will often try to minimize their payouts by undervaluing these damages, but our team knows how to accurately assess the full extent of your losses and fight for fair compensation.

It's also important to consider future costs when calculating compensation in a truck accident case. Serious injuries from a truck accident can require ongoing medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care. Our attorneys work with medical experts and economists to anticipate these future expenses and ensure that they are included in your compensation package.

Another important factor in compensation calculations is whether punitive damages are warranted. Punitive damages are meant to punish the at-fault party for gross negligence or intentional misconduct. While punitive damages are not awarded in every case, our attorneys will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your accident to determine if they may be applicable.

Dealing with the aftermath of a truck accident can be overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate this challenging time alone. The Law Offices of Jonathan Van Dina, PLLC is here to provide expert legal guidance and aggressive representation to help you secure the compensation you need to move forward with your life.
