There is no single average settlement for a semi-truck accident because the value of a claim depends heavily on the facts of the case. Truck accident claims can range from relatively modest settlements to very large recoveries when there are severe injuries, permanent disability, major medical expenses, lost income, or wrongful death.
What affects the value of a truck accident claim
Factors that can affect the value of a truck accident claim include the severity of the injuries, the amount of available insurance coverage, who was at fault, whether the trucking company may also be liable, the cost of medical treatment, lost wages, future medical needs, and the long-term impact of the injuries.
Why truck cases are more complex
Commercial truck accidents can also be more complex than ordinary car accidents because multiple parties may be involved, including the driver, trucking company, maintenance providers, cargo companies, or insurers.
