Frequently Asked Questions
Victims of truck accidents who are interested in taking legal action against the parties liable for their accident often contact our law firm with many of the following questions:
- Are victims of truck accidents eligible to file claims and receive compensation for the harm suffered?
- How much can you receive from Amerisafe in case of a truck accident?
- How much is a truck accident case with Amerisafe insurance worth?
- What is the average compensation victims of truck accidents could receive for their claims?
- How do the details of a truck accident affect the value of the claim?
Many of the questions revolve around a similar concept—the value of a truck accident claim. Why is the value of your claim so important? The value of your claim establishes the compensation that you are eligible to receive. Compensation is essential—especially if the truck accident led you and your family towards financial difficulties. A truck accident can affect a victim’s ability to earn income, pay bills, and provide for his or her family. In some cases, the victim was once the sole source of income for his or her family; a temporary or permanent loss of ability to work and earn income, as well as death, could result in financial distress. Although monetary compensation cannot reverse the harm suffered or the emotional trauma experienced by grieving family members, it can help you and your family to overcome some of the financial hurdles encountered after the accident. For answers to the questions above and more information about the average settlement of a truck accident claim with Amerisafe, you must contact the attorneys at Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible.

At times, the value of truck accident cases may reach as high as $500,000 for injuries that will eventually heal. Generally, your case is worth over $500,00 if your damages were permanent or if the truck driver, truck company, and other individuals contributed to the accident. This can easily change, however.

As you can see, the values of the sample truck accident claims above vary. Because only the injuries suffered are included in the examples above, it could be easy to assume that the average value of a truck accident case against Amerisafe depends on the injuries the victims suffered. However, there are many factors, in addition to the injuries sustained, which determine the value of a truck accident claim.
The Factors that Determine the Value of Your Truck Accident Claim
What are the factors that are used to determine the average settlement value of an Amerisafe truck accident lawsuit? There are many factors that must be evaluated before determining the total value of a truck accident claim. Some of the factors relevant to truck accident settlement amounts for a truck accident claim with Amerisafe insurance are listed below:
- Injuries: all injuries are associated with a specific value. For instance, you can receive $25,000 maximum for minor injuries, but you could receive $75,000 maximum for moderate injuries that require minimal surgeries to address. Likewise, a spinal cord injury could be worth $100,000 or millions depending on the severity. Brain injuries could also be worth millions, if severe; but, they are often worth up to $250,000. The combination of the injuries sustained establishes the amount that influences the value of a claim.
- Policy limits: all claims are limited by the maximum coverage available through insurance policies. A policy limit is the highest amount of damage covered by the policy. For example, if the applicable policy limit is $750,000, the claimant would not be eligible to recover any amount above the limit (if the claim has any value above the policy limit). However, since most trucks carry high insurance policies, most truck accident claims are not limited by a low policy limit.
In addition to the two factors that were briefly discussed above, there are many other factors that could affect how much the truck accident case with Amerisafe could be worth. These factors include comparative damage, lost income, and property damage, for example. If you would like more information about the different factors that could affect the value of your truck accident claim against Amerisafe insurance, you must contact the experienced truck accident attorneys at Normandie Law Firm at your earliest convenience.
