What Impacts Your Settlement? 

An accident involving a tractor-trailer can be one of the most serious that can occur. The larger size and weight of a commercial truck means that it can do immense damage to those in a passenger car. As such, the physical, mental, emotional, and financial recovery can be long and difficult.
There are numerous factors that influence what a fair case settlement is, including:
- Lost wages from work
- Medical bills
- Future potential lost wages
- Future potential medical bills
- Funeral costs in the case of a wrongful death
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
- Property replacement costs
- And more

Beyond Basic Fault 
With standard auto accident law, it must be shown that the other party acted in a negligent or reckless manner. If this occurs, you will have the grounds to seek compensation for their actions. Generally, this includes things like speeding or texting while driving.
One of the biggest things to remember in a trucking accident is that while the driver can be held at fault, so can the trucking company that they work for. In certain instances, it's possible that your attorney will seek compensation for you from the trucking company itself. This is because trucking companies must adhere to very strict guidelines set forth by the government.
Any failure to do so could mean that they're to blame. For example:
If a trucking company forces drivers to operate beyond the legally required number of hours, they could be held at fault.
Trucking companies could be held liable if they force drivers to haul loads beyond the legally allowed limits.
If a company fails to maintain accurate data and logs for driving time, it could be a sign that they're at fault.
Failure to maintain their trucks properly could also lead to fault being assigned with the trucking companies.
When a trucking company is the focus of a personal injury claim, the potential settlements could be larger because courts will often look into punitive damages used to help dissuade other companies from acting in a similar manner. This can lead to larger settlements that will make it easier to move on with your life after an accident.
A Bigger Battle 
However, since trucking companies have huge bankrolls and plenty of resources, they also have the ability to fight any case in a big way. They'll do things like:
- Stall
- Refuse to pay
- Force you through legal red tape
- Offer less than you deserve
- Try to intimidate you to drop your case
- And more
And they do all of this knowing that you're struggling to recover from your injuries.
