Determining the Value of Your Truck Accident Claim

Many people mistakenly believe that the value of their claims is determined only by the types of injuries that they sustain. Injuries, however, do have a significant effect on the value of a truck accident claim.

The value associated with injuries is directly correlated with the severity of the injuries sustained. For example, you can receive $25,000 for mild injuries that require minimal medical attention, but you could receive $75,000 for moderate injuries that require some sort of surgical treatment. Spinal cord injuries could be worth up to $150,000; however, spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis could be worth millions. Likewise, traumatic brain injuries could be worth up to $250,000, but they could be worth millions if the victim’s lifestyle is permanently affected. These values account for a portion of claim values; many other factors must be evaluated to determine the full value of a claim.
In addition to the injuries sustained in a truck accident, the income you and your family lost because of the accident can also affect the average settlement value of a Great West Casualty Co insurance truck accident lawsuit. For example, if you lost your ability to work and earn income because of your truck accident, you could be compensated. The amount associated with your lost income will depend on your age, your wage history, and the time you were unable to work. If you permanently lost your ability to work and earn wages, the value associated with your lost income will also depend on projections, such as the length of time you could have worked and the income you could have earned had you not been injured. The value associated with your lost income also accounts for only a portion of your claim’s value.
The value of your claim also depends on the policy limit established by the truck’s insurance policy. A policy limit is a maximum coverage allowed by the insurance policy. If a truck carries a policy of $700,000, the policy limit would be $700,000, for example. Policy limits establish the highest amount of compensation that claimants could recovery. For example, if your claim is valued above the policy limit of $700,000, you would not be eligible to recover any amount in excess of the policy limit. In many cases, the value of truck accident claims must be decreased to remain within the insurance policy limits.
