How Settlement Estimates Work
Economic Damages
Medical bills, future medical costs, and lost wages form the foundation of your claim.
Pain & Suffering
A multiplier is applied based on injury severity to account for non-economic damages.
Adjustments
Factors like permanent disability, hospitalization, and injury types affect the final range.
Why Truck Accident Settlements Are Higher
Higher Insurance Limits
Commercial trucks are required to carry minimum insurance of $750,000 to $1 million, compared to $30,000 for passenger vehicles. Many carriers have even higher coverage.
More Severe Injuries
The massive weight difference between trucks (80,000 lbs) and cars (3,500 lbs) means injuries are typically more severe, requiring higher compensation.
Multiple Liable Parties
Truck accidents often involve multiple potentially liable parties: the driver, trucking company, cargo loader, and maintenance providers, increasing available coverage.
Federal Regulation Violations
FMCSA regulations on hours of service, maintenance, and driver qualifications create additional grounds for liability and potentially punitive damages.
