Semi Truck Accident Settlements & Verdicts

No two motor vehicle collisions are alike, and the same is especially true for semi-truck accidents. Because of this, the settlement amount in a semi-truck, big rig, 18-wheeler or other commercial vehicle case is extremely difficult to estimate at the outset of a case. But make no mistake, because of the size of semi-trucks and the catastrophic nature of these crashes, the damages are often high and the settlement amounts can reach the millions.

​semi truck settlementWhat Is An Average Semi-Truck Accident Settlement?

Countless factors determine the value of a semi-truck accident case. Each one of those factors has a direct correlation to the eventual settlement amount a victim receives. Because of that, it’s impossible to say what the “average” settlement is. 

The main factors that influence your final settlement in a semi-truck accident case are:

  • The injuries you sustained. Semi-truck accidents kill thousands of people and injure many more each year. 
  • The medical treatment that you received
  • The economic damages sustained, such as cost of medical treatment, lost wages, future earning potential, etc.
  • Any non-economic, emotional damages or losses you suffered (i.e. pain and suffering)

Of course, additional things often come into play. One of the largest factors – and one that every victim can control – is the quality of legal representation they receive. Hiring the right semi-truck accident attorney is critical.
