Vehicle Repairs and Other Property Expenses
Large truck accidents often result in total damage to affected vehicles. We will seek maximum compensation for:
- Repairing your vehicle
- Replacing your vehicle (if necessary)
- Replacing any clothing, electronics, such as a cell phone, or other property damaged during the accident
