How Truck Accident Settlement Amounts Are Determined
For tractor-trailer accidents, settlements can range from a few thousand dollars to well over $10 million.
Saying what an “average” 18-wheeler settlement amount would be is inherently misleading. No two trucking accidents are the same, so there is no “average” case. The wide range of settlement amounts is due to the legal damages that you are entitled to recover, should your case go to trial. The potential verdict that the defendants would face will inform their settlement offers, outside of the courtroom.
You only have one chance to bring an injury lawsuit and receive compensation — it’s important that you pursue the largest truck accident settlement possible to cover both past and future costs. The settlements negotiated in commercial truck accident cases can provide multi-million dollar results for injured individuals and their families. This is due to two reasons: the profound injuries that large truck accidents can cause, and the high responsibility that wealthy companies have to ensure the safety of their vehicles and drivers. These large sums are fair amounts needed to cover the actual losses associated with a permanent brain or spine injury , or the irreplaceable loss of a wrongful death.

Although there is no legal requirement that you have a truck accident lawyer, doing so could make all the difference in securing the compensation you deserve.
