What Is the Average Truck Accident Settlement?

If you’ve been hit by a commercial truck, you’re probably wondering: how much is this case really worth?

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all number. But at 1-800-TruckWreck, we can tell you this: when we take your case, we fight for everything you’ve lost—not just what the insurance company is willing to offer.

We’ve helped real people across Dallas, Fort Worth, Atlanta, and Chicago recover real compensation. And we’ll do the same for you.

What Impacts a Truck Wreck Settlement?

Every truck accident is different, but a few key things determine how much your case is worth:

  • How serious are your injuries?
  • Will you need surgery, rehab, or long-term care?
  • Have you lost time at work or the ability to work at all?
  • Is there permanent damage—physical or emotional?
  • Who’s liable—and how strong is the evidence?

The more serious the injury, the higher the potential settlement. But the right legal team makes the biggest difference.

What Kind of Settlements Do We Win?

We don’t talk about averages. We talk about results. Here are just a few of the settlements we’ve secured for clients injured in truck wrecks:

  • $18.85 million recovered by Attorney William Pate 
  • $7 million recovered by Attorney Victor Rodriguez
  • $5.8 million recovered in a rear-end chain-reaction crash
  • $4.19 million from a four-car pile-up caused by an 18-wheeler on Highway 75
  • $6 million secured after a high-impact rear-end collision on State Route 14
  • $3.8 million recovered by attorney Paige Eldridge
  • $2.8 million, $2.6 million, $2.93 million, and $1.06 million recovered in other major trucking cases

These aren’t numbers pulled from thin air. They’re the results of deep investigation, smart strategy, and relentless advocacy.

Why You Need a Lawyer Who Knows How to Fight Trucking Companies

Truck wrecks aren’t like car wrecks. The injuries are more severe, and the companies are more aggressive. Their legal teams are trained to shut down claims fast.

That’s where we come in. At 1-800-TruckWreck, we know how to:

  • Secure black box data and driver logs
  • Uncover safety violations and company failures
  • Work with top medical experts to prove the full impact of your injuries
  • Push for full compensation—through negotiation or trial

We don’t just prepare for settlement. We prepare to win.
