When a truck driver‘s accident compensation claim arises, the financial impact can be overwhelming. Repairs, missed loads, and out-of-pocket expenses add up quickly. The good news: depending on where the accident happened, you may be entitled to recover a wide range of costs from the at-fault party and their insurance company.
What Types of Costs Can You Recover
At Eckert & Associates, PA, we help truckers pursue full compensation for:
- Repair Costs – The expense of fixing your truck and trailer after the accident.
- Diminished Value – Even after repairs, commercial equipment often loses resale value. We fight for the difference in value between pre-accident and post-accident.
- Downtime Losses (Loss of Use / Lost Profits) – One of the biggest impacts for truckers: the income you lose while your rig is in the shop.
- Out-of-Pocket Expenses, such as:
- Towing charges
- Hotel stays while waiting on repairs
- Car or truck rentals
- Cargo transfer
- Mileage and airfare
- Other necessary expenses caused by the accident
Insurance companies often resist paying for more than basic repairs, but these additional costs represent real losses to your business. Our team knows how to document and negotiate these claims so you’re not left footing the bill.
Why Legal Help Matters for Accident Compensation
Pursuing fair truck driver accident compensation is challenging without guidance. Insurance carriers often push back on diminished value, downtime, or personal expenses. With experienced attorneys on your side, you can maximize your claim.
