Determining Your Claim’s Worth
What factors determine the average settlement amounts for truck accident lawsuit against Guard Corporation? What details are relevant to the average compensation that you could receive for your claim? The average value of a truck accident case against Guard Corporation depends on the following factors:
- The injuries sustained in the accident—all injuries are associated with a specific value. For example, you can receive $25,000 for minor injuries, but you could receive $75,000 more moderate injuries. Some injuries could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars while others could be worth millions.
- The income the victim lost because of the injuries sustained—if you were unable to work because of your injuries, the value of your claim could increase based on the income that you lost. Lost income is often based on your wage history, your age, and the length of time you are expected to be unable to work, among other things.
- The percentage of comparative negligence—if the victim had some fault in the accident and his or her injuries, comparative negligence might apply. If the victim is found comparatively negligent, he or she would be unable to recover the full value of the claim. Instead, the claim’s value would be decreased by the percentage of comparative negligence.
- The truck’s insurance coverage and applicable policy limits—policy limits establish the maximum amount of compensation available for recovery. For instance, if a truck carries an insurance policy with a limit of $800,000, the claimant could not recover any amount over that limit from the insurance policy. In some cases, policy limits significantly decrease how much a claimant could recover.
In addition to the factors mentioned above, many other details could affect the value of truck accident settlement amounts for a truck accident claim with Guard Corporation. If you would like to learn more about how the value of your truck accident claim is determined, you must contact the experienced truck accident attorneys at Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible.
