Quality of Life

What is Quality of Life?

Quality of Life refers to an the overall well-being and life satisfaction of an individual. It is not limited to physical well-being. For legal purposes, a person’s quality of life following an accident or injury is often compared to what it was like before that accident or injury.

Quality of life is measured based on various factors. There are both subjective measures such as satisfaction and happiness, and objective measures such as health and economic status.

Some common factors in a quality of life evaluation include the following:

  • Activities of daily living
  • Mobility and organization
  • Social relationships and interaction ability
  • Overall life satisfaction
  • Participation in recreational or work-related activities
  • Future prospects

Quality of life as a whole is an important factor in many legal cases. For example, victims of negligence may receive greater compensation if they can show how an injury or accident harmed their quality of life. Enduring pain or disability impact not only a person’s health, but also how they interact with the world and their ability to enjoy life. Beyond physical health, emotional distress and general unhappiness can also benefit their claims if proven to be caused by an injury or accident. Assessing quality of life gives a better understanding of the impacts on victims that are not always visible, and can allow for fairer damages being restored.

Types of Injuries Suffered in a Trucking Accident

How Serious Is a Truck Accident?

Commercial trucks are at a higher risk of causing or being involved in serious accidents, particularly because of their overwhelming size on the road, their weight, and due to truck drivers managing their vehicles on the road. If you’ve suffered an injury in a truck accident to someone else’s carelessness or negligence, injuries are often serious, require an extensive recovery process, and bring about expensive medical costs. Truck crashes often create car-on-car wrecks, and many fatal crashes, as well.
