How Truck Accident Settlements Are Calculated
Truck accident settlements are typically calculated using a multiplier method. Your economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, property damage) are multiplied by a factor based on injury severity, typically ranging from 1.5x for minor injuries to 8x or more for catastrophic injuries or wrongful death.
Factors that increase your settlement include: severity of injuries, clear liability on the part of the truck driver or company, FMCSA regulation violations, multiple liable parties, strong documentation, and experienced legal representation.
Factors that may reduce your settlement include: shared fault (in comparative negligence states), pre-existing conditions, gaps in medical treatment, delayed filing, and lack of documentation.
