The Categories of Compensation Available for Recovery

What is the average compensation you could receive for truck accident claims against Sentry Insurance? Before you understand the different factors that could affect the average value of a truck accident case against Sentry Insurance, you must understand how compensation is categorized. Although each truck accident claim is different, many claimants are eligible to receive some of the following forms of compensation after a truck accident:

• Burial costs
• Funeral costs
• Loss of consortium
• Lost earnings
• Medical bills
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Punitive damages

As you can see, there are many categories of compensation available for recovery. However, you should not assume that you are eligible to receive all the categories of compensation listed above. Since the type and amount of compensation you receive strictly depends on the details of your claim, you must seek legal assistance as soon as possible. When you contact our law firm, our skilled attorneys will evaluate your claim and immediately identify the type of compensation you could receive. Throughout your claim, our attorneys will always fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your truck accident claim against Sentry insurance.

The Different Factors that Affect the Value of Your Claim

What details are evaluated to determine what the truck accident case with Sentry Insurance could be worth? The potential value of a claim and the average compensation you could receive are affected by many factors. Some of the most important factors that could affect the value of your claim are listed below:

• Injuries sustained—the type and severity of the injuries sustained have a direct correlation with medical bills, which directly affect the value of a claim. Different injuries are associated with different values. For example, for minor injuries, you can receive $25,000; but you could receive $75,000 for moderate injuries requiring surgery or physical therapy. Traumatic brain injuries, which are common results of truck accidents, could be valued at upwards of $85,000. Since most victims suffer many different injuries associated with different values, it is common for the value of injuries to reach hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions.
• Insurance policy limits—perhaps the most influential factor that affects the value of a claim is insurance policy limits. Policy limits can establish the maximum amount of compensation available for recovery, and they can also result in a decreased claim value. Trucks are federally mandated to carry insurance policies. Trucks that weigh less than 10,001 lbs are required to carry a minimum of $300,000 in insurance coverage. Trucks heavier than 10,001 lbs are required to carry anywhere from $750,000 to $5 million in minimum coverage, depending on the type of truck and cargo being transported. How do policy limits affect truck accident settlement amounts for a truck accident claim with Sentry insurance? Policy limits determine the maximum amount of compensation available for recovery. Therefore, if you claim is valued at $650,000 and the truck is insured with an $800,000 policy, you could recover the full value of your claim. However, it is possible that the value of your claim must be adjusted to adhere to whatever policy limits apply. For example, your claim could be worth $1.2 million, but it could be worth less if the policy limit is not enough.
• Lost income—another factor that could affect the value of a claim is the income lost as a result of the accident. A victim’s age, time unable to work, and wage history is thoroughly evaluated to determine the amount of income that was lost as a result of the accident. The claim’s value could increase once lost wages are factored into the claim. If the victim was unemployed or retired, for example, lost income is unlikely to increase the value of the claim.

There are many other factors that could affect the value of your claim. For example, if the injured victim suffered emotional and mental pain, in the form of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, embarrassment, or fear, the value of his or her claim could increase. If the claim is being filed for the wrongful death of the truck accident victim, claimants could be eligible to receive survivor’s benefits. In general, wrongful death claims filed after truck accidents could be valued higher than claims in which the victim did not lose his or her life.
