Understanding Compensation in New York Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can be devastating, both physically and financially. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident in New York, it's important to understand how compensation is calculated and what options are available for seeking justice. At Sayegh & Sayegh, we assist the New York public with truck accident matters and have the expertise to help you navigate through this difficult time.


In New York, compensation for truck accidents is typically calculated based on several factors. These factors may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and more. The goal of compensation is to help the victim recover from their injuries and get back on their feet as soon as possible. Our team at Sayegh & Sayegh will work diligently to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your losses.


In addition to economic damages such as medical bills and lost wages, victims of truck accidents may also be entitled to non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. These damages are more subjective in nature but are just as important in helping victims move forward after a traumatic event. Our experienced attorneys will fight for your rights and make sure that all aspects of your suffering are taken into consideration when calculating compensation.


It's important to note that New York follows a comparative negligence rule when it comes to determining fault in accidents. This means that if you were partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. Our legal team at Sayegh & Sayegh understands how this rule works and will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible for your case.


When seeking compensation for a truck accident in New York, it's crucial to act quickly and seek legal representation as soon as possible. There are strict deadlines for filing claims and gathering evidence, so it's important not to delay in pursuing your case. Our experienced attorneys at Sayegh & Sayegh have the knowledge and resources needed to build a strong case on your behalf and fight for the justice you deserve.


Dealing with the aftermath of a truck accident can be overwhelming, but you don't have to go through it alone. At Sayegh & Sayegh, we are dedicated to helping residents of New York navigate through the complexities of truck accident cases and secure the compensation they rightfully deserve.
