What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Heavy Machinery Accident Claim?

Potential damages may include the following:

• Medical Expenses: This includes current and forthcoming medical costs for treatments such as surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and prescription medications. Given the severity of many heavy machinery accidents, victims may require long-term medical care and ongoing treatments for years.
• Lost Wages: If your injuries stop you from returning to work temporarily or permanently, you can pursue compensation for the earnings lost during your recovery. In cases where the victim is unable to return to their previous job or work at all, they may also be entitled to future lost earning capacity.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for pain and suffering takes into account the physical and emotional trauma caused by the accident. This includes chronic pain, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life resulting from long-term injuries or disabilities.
• Disability and Disfigurement: In instances where the accident results in permanent disability or disfigurement, victims may be entitled to additional compensation. This could cover the costs associated with mobility aids, prosthetics, and home modifications required to accommodate the disability.
• Rehabilitation and Therapy: Heavy machinery accidents often lead to debilitating injuries that demand extensive physical and occupational therapy. The costs of these rehabilitative services can be included in a claim.
• Wrongful Death: In tragic cases where a heavy machinery accident leads to the death of a loved one, surviving family members could be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim. This could include funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, and emotional suffering.
