The Factors that could affect the Value of Your Truck Accident Claim
What affects the average value of a truck accident case against Gateway Insurance Company? You might have assumed that your claims worth only depends on the injuries you sustained, but it could be worth much more than you think. There are many details that could affect the value of your truck accident claim. Some of these details are explained below:
- Policy limits—a policy limit is the most important factor that determines the value of a truck accident claim. Policy limits establish the maximum amount that claimants could recover from an insurance company. For example, if you were involved in a truck accident with a truck that carried a policy of $650,000, that amount would also be the policy limit that applies to your claim. Because of this limit, you would not be eligible to recover any value higher than the policy limit. Since policy limits vary from claim to claim, it is essential that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
- Injuries—the injuries you sustain during your accident are also essential in determining the value of your claim. Every type of injury is associated with a value. For example, minor injuries could be worth up to $25,000. You can receive $75,000 for minor injuries that require some sort of surgical treatment. Spinal cord injuries could be worth $150,000, but you could receive $600,000 to $800,000 if the spinal cord injury results in any form of paralysis. Traumatic brain injuries could be worth $85,000 to $250,000 but could be worth millions in some cases. Ultimately, the value of your injuries depends on severity.
- Comparative negligence—the value of your claim can also be affected by comparative negligence. Comparative negligence establishes the victim’s contribution to the accident and his or her injuries in the form of a percentage. The claimant is not eligible to recover compensation equivalent to the percentage of comparative negligence. For example, if the victim is found to be 23% comparatively negligent, that percentage would not be recovered, and the claimant could only recover the remaining 77% of compensation. Comparative negligence does not apply to all truck accident claims.
- Lost income—the value of your truck accident claim can also be influenced by any income that was lost because of the accident. Lost income is based on your wage history, your age, and the time that you are expected to be unable to work.
In addition to the factors listed above, many other details of your truck accident could affect your claim’s value. If you would like to learn more or discuss the additional factors that could affect the truck accident settlement amounts for a truck accident claim with gateway Insurance Company, you must contact Normandie Law Firm and speak with our attorneys.
