What’s Included in a Truck Accident Claim?

When you suffer injuries from a collision with a truck, you have the right to compensation. Doing so can help ensure your medical bills get paid. Due to the severity of these crashes, bodily injury claims are a major claim in the settlement process. To prove your claim you’ll have to submit your medical bills to the insurance adjuster. 

It’s also common for cars to come away from these wrecks either nearly or completely totaled. You can file a claim to collect for damage to your vehicle—either for repairs or its replacement. Property damage claims can also refer to personal items like watches, prescription glasses, or electronics.
