The Value of Your Claim—A Common Concern
As seen in the questions mentioned above, many victims of truck accidents share a common concern: the potential value of their truck accident claims. What is the payout available for your claim? What is the average settlement of a truck accident claim with CNA truck insurance? Unfortunately, many victims of truck accidents are left with these questions because truck accidents inevitably lead to financial distress. In case of injuries, victims are often left with sudden medical expenses that they cannot pay off because they cannot work to earn income. In case of death, surviving family members are left having to pay off final medical expenses and death service expenses with the sudden loss of financial support from the victim. Regardless of the situation, all parties affected by truck accidents could encounter sudden financial difficulties. If you and your family encountered financial distress after a truck accident resulted in injuries or death, you must seek legal assistance as soon as possible. You might have grounds to file a claim and receive compensation for your injuries.
Important Factors
What is the average settlement value of a CNA truck accident lawsuit? To understand the possible value of your truck accident claim, you must first gain a thorough understanding of the different factors that could affect how much the truck accident case with CNA could be worth. Consider the following factors:
- Injuries: without a doubt, the injuries that you suffer during your truck accident are relevant to the value of your claim. The type and severity of the injuries that you suffer directly affect the extent of medical care required, which affect medical expenses. For instance, minor injuries could be worth up to $25,000. You can receive $75,000 for moderate injuries (injuries that require surgical procedures to treat). More traumatic injuries, such as spinal cord injuries could be worth up to $150,000. Likewise, traumatic brain injuries could be worth up to $250,000. Both $150,000 and $250,000 could seem unreasonably low for such severe injuries, but you could receive $600,000 or more (even millions) for severe spinal cord and brain injuries that cause paralysis, for example.
- Comparative negligence: the value of your claim could also be affected by comparative negligence. Comparative negligence establishes the victim’s fault in the accident and causing his or her injuries. For example, if you entered the intersection even though you saw the truck driver was not yielding to you or stopping at the signal, you might be found comparatively negligent. Comparative negligence is established by percentages. For instance, if the victim is found to be 20% comparatively negligent, only the remaining 80% of the claim’s value would be available for recovery. Comparative negligence does not always apply; however, when applicable, it could negatively affect the value of your truck accident claim.
- Policy limits: one of the most important determining factors is the insurance policy limit that applies to your claim. Policy limits are established by the truck insurance policy that is carried by the truck involved in the accident. A policy limit establishes the maximum amount of coverage available for a claim. Trucks often carry insurance coverage ranging from $300,000 to millions; therefore, claimants can often recover the full value of their claims. However, if the policy limit is $500,000 and the value of your claim is $625,000, you would not be eligible to recover the full value of your claim from the truck’s insurance company, for instance. Policy limits vary from claim to claim.
In addition to the three factors discussed above, there are many other factors that could affect the average settlement value of a CNA truck accident lawsuit. If you would like to discuss the factors that could affect the value of your claim with our experienced truck accident attorneys, you must contact our firm as soon as possible.

Your Right to File a Claim
Although you could file a claim after a truck accident, you should not automatically assume that you can sue and receive compensation. You could only file a claim if your truck accident was caused by the negligent or reckless actions of the truck driver (or of the driver’s employer in some cases) involved in the accident. For instance, if the truck driver was speeding or driving under the influence, you could sue. If the truck driver was distracted while driving, you could also sue. If the truck driver fell asleep while driving because his or her employer was enforcing a strict deadline that violated trucking regulations, you could also sue. Because your right to sue CNA varies depending on your situation, you must seek legal assistance immediately.
