How Much Money Can I Expect to Get from a Truck Accident Lawsuit?
In the attached video, attorney Marc L. Shapiro from the Law Offices of Marc L. Shapiro, P.A., answers one of the most common questions truck accident victims ask: How much money can I expect to recover from a truck accident lawsuit? Understanding the factors that influence your potential compensation is key to navigating the aftermath of a devastating accident.
Every truck accident case is unique, and settlements depend on several variables, such as the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical care, lost wages, and the degree of fault attributed to all parties involved. Truck accidents often lead to higher settlements than car accidents due to the severe injuries and extensive damages caused by large commercial vehicles.
Attorney Shapiro explains that liability is a critical component. Multiple parties may share responsibility, including the truck driver, the trucking company, vehicle manufacturers, or maintenance providers. For example, if the driver was fatigued or the company failed to adhere to safety regulations, these factors could significantly impact your case’s value.
Additionally, trucking companies and their insurers often carry higher policy limits, which increases the potential settlement amount. In some cases, compensation can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the circumstances.
Hiring the right attorney is essential to ensure you maximize your recovery. A knowledgeable truck accident lawyer will understand the complexities of federal trucking regulations, investigate thoroughly, and gather the necessary evidence to hold all responsible parties accountable.
