A motor vehicle accident can have devastating consequences for the health and finances of those involved. When one of the vehicles is a semi-truck, that can compound a victim’s damages. Trucks are heavier and have a harder time slowing down, increasing the potential of more significant damage if they crash.
At Van Law Firm, our Bellingham, Washington truck accident lawyers stand committed to helping our clients get through this challenging time in order to receive compensation that can help them pay their bills. If you suffered injuries in a truck accident in Whatcom County, you could recover financial compensation that pays for expenses caused by the accident.
What Can a Truck Accident Case Pay for?
We could pursue recoverable damages for any expense incurred because of the accident, such as your medical bills, damaged property, and lost income. However, we could also pursue compensation for any emotional distress the accident has caused, such as pain and suffering.
Damages That don’t Have a Financial Cost
The crash’s effect on someone can be much more than financial. Severe injuries are not only costly to treat, but they can take a mental toll and affect your life quality.
As your attorneys, we will pursue compensation for any mental trauma you’ve experienced and any other way the accident has negatively affected your life. These could include:
- Depression and anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Lessened quality of life
- Pain and suffering
Let us evaluate your situation and determine the best path to take to help you achieve your goals. Give our injury attorneys a call today at 725-215-0608.

The Greatest Benefit of Hiring a Bellingham Truck Accident Lawyer
Spending time going to doctors’ appointments, picking up prescriptions at the pharmacy, and dealing with the discomfort of your injury can make taking on a lawsuit by yourself a lot more challenging.

We’re not looking to settle your case quickly. Instead, we’ll take the time to prepare a convincing case for the compensation you need to cover your losses. We’ll negotiate with the at-fault truck driver’s insurer for the best possible settlement, but if necessary, we’ll argue your case before a judge and jury.

Common Truck Accident Injuries
Truck accidents can lead to severe injuries that result in lengthy hospital stays and expensive medical bills.
Some common examples of injuries following a truck accident include:
- Concussion
- Whiplash
- Broken bones
- Internal bleeding
- Cuts and bruises
What You Should Do Immediately Following a Truck Accident
Some of these injuries will immediately become apparent. For example, you can see cuts and bruises on your body. In addition, you would more than likely feel the unbearable pain of a broken bone.
The real danger comes from the internal injuries you might have sustained. For instance, you may not know that you’ve suffered a concussion, whiplash, or internal bleeding.
If your accident wasn’t so severe that you required a trip to the emergency department, you should still see your doctor right away. This visit not only safeguards your health but could also help us link your injuries to the accident. If we can show that the accident caused your injuries, we could recover damages for them.
