Truck accident settlements can vary quite a bit due to the amount of damages you are entitled to recover after a crash. The lowest amount recovered where there actually may be a settlement is around a few thousand dollars. The reason there is really no minimum amount in such a case is that each truck accident differs in damages and what an accident victim can actually recover.

Damages that can be recovered from the at-fault driver are medical bills, lost wages due to not being able to work, cost of vehicle repairs to replace damaged parts, pain and suffering and punitive damages.

You can expect due to personal injury laws, damages will be determined by the percentage of fault on your end and reduced based on the amount of fault on your end in the accident.

Truck accidents can harm your financial health due to the amount of savings needed to initially cover medical bills and transportation if your car is totaled.

Again, the minimum received by a party filing a truck accident claim is going to vary and thus trying to come up with a ballpark average settlement is impossible to do. Many truck accident cases that are looked at by a personal injury lawyer simply do not have enough damages for a legitimate claim. You will want to speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after a truck accident to determine whether you have a case at all. Only a personal injury lawyer will be able to determine the nature of your case and whether it is worth pursuing.

The severity of your injuries and how long they take to heal and rehabilitate will impact a potential settlement if your case is taken to court. Minimum settlements in a truck accident case can be in the hundreds of thousands to millions for victims who simply never recover from their injuries. Life changing injuries are where settlements will be determined to be worth millions many times and the defendant may settle instead of risking millions more by losing in court.
