The Effect of Injuries of Claim Value
There are many factors that affect truck accident settlement amounts for a truck accident claim with Sutter Insurance Company—one of which is the type of injuries sustained. Truck accidents often result in more traumatic injuries in comparison to auto accidents, for example. Since the injuries suffered are more severe, victims are often left facing higher medical costs for treatment. In general, minor injuries can be worth up to $25,000. As injuries become more severe, the costs associated with them also increase. Because of that, traumatic brain injuries could be worth as much as $3 million. The value of injuries and medical bills set an initial value of a claim. As additional factors continue to be evaluated, the value of the claim is likely to increase.
Consider the injuries attached to the following sample claim values:
- $50,000 for back, neck, shoulders, and knee injuries
- $743,000 for severe back injuries
- $1,030,000 for hip injuries, eye injuries, and general fractures.
- $1,050,000 for a broken leg
The claim values above already include all the different factors that affect the value of the claim. It is apparent that although the type and severity of injuries sustained during an accident have a key role in determining claim value, other factors could drastically change claim value. For example, the claim that included a broken leg was valued at $1.05 million when a leg injury is often worth less than $25,000. You might believe your injuries are not worth much, but you could receive $1 million or another amount significantly higher than the value of your injury, alone, based on the other factors of your claim. For more information about the effect of your injuries and medical bills on the value of your claim, contact our law firm as soon as possible.
The Effect of Limits of Claim Value
Another major factor that applies the value of your claim is limits established by either insurance policies or compensation caps established by the state in which you are filing your claim. Trucks are required by federal regulations to carry insurance coverage from $300,000 to $5 million, depending on the type of truck. If a claim is worth $2.3 million but the trucks insurance policy is only $1 million, you can receive $1 million—or up to that amount. Compensation caps also place similar limits. Your claim could be worth $90,000 but it could be worth $40,000 once it is adjusted to adhere to policy limits. Because many limits could apply, you must seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
The Other Factors that Affect Claim Value
Besides injuries and policy limits, there are many other factors that could affect the value of a claim. For example, a victim’s wage history and total time unable to work could increase the value of their claims. Likewise, a victim’s mental and emotional distress could increase claim value. If the victim’s vehicle was totaled as a result of the accident, the claim’s value could also increase. If you would like a comprehensive discussion of the other factors that could affect the average settlement value of a Sutter Insurance Company truck accident lawsuit, you must contact Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible and schedule a free consultation or a free second opinion at your earliest convenience.

- Loss of consortium

As you can see, there are many categories of compensation that you could receive if you decide to file a claim after your truck accident.
