We Fight for Amazon Truck Accident Victims throughout Los Angeles, California, Texas, and Nevada

Have you been injured in an accident with an Amazon truck? If so, you may be entitled to compensation, also called damages, for your losses. Damages often fall into two main categories: economic and non-economic.

Economic Damages
Economic damages are the monetary losses you incurred as a result of the accident. They are typically easier to calculate because there is usually a verifiable dollar amount associated with these losses. Economic damages generally include the following:

• Past and future medical expenses. You can seek compensation for all medical costs incurred due to the accident. This includes costs for emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, doctor’s visits, and other treatments. If you require ongoing care, like rehabilitation, you can also seek compensation for your expected future costs.
• Lost wages. If your injuries have prevented you from working for a period of time, you can seek reimbursement for the wages and benefits you would have earned.
• Loss of future earning capacity. Serious or permanent injuries may limit your ability to return to work or work in the same capacity. You can pursue compensation for the expected income you would have been able to earn had the accident not occurred.
• Property damage. You can seek reimbursement for the costs incurred to repair or replace your vehicle after the accident. If any other personal property was damaged or destroyed in the accident, you can also seek reimbursement for these items.

Non-Economic Damages
Unlike economic damages, non-economic damages are non-monetary losses you incurred due to the accident. Calculating non-economic damages can be more challenging because it requires assigning a monetary value to experiences like physical pain and life changes.

However, they are just as important because they aim to compensate you for the physical, emotional, and psychological consequences of the accident. Examples of non-economic damages include:

• Pain and suffering. Pain and suffering encompass the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident. Examples of emotional and psychological impacts may include anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
• Loss of quality of life. If your daily life has negatively changed, you can seek compensation for this loss. For example, if you can no longer participate in hobbies or social activities you once enjoyed.
• Disability or disfigurement. Have your injuries resulted in permanent disability or disfigurement? If so, you face ongoing limitations and a lower standard of living than before the accident. You should be compensated for these losses.
