The average truck accident settlement in the U.S. is around $42,000, but the amount varies widely depending on the severity of the crash, the injuries involved, and who was at fault. In Arizona, settlements can be significantly higher when accidents result in serious injuries, fatalities, or long-term disabilities.
Compensation in truck accident cases often includes:
Medical expenses and future treatment costs
Pain and suffering or reduced quality of life
Property damage to your vehicle and belongings
Lost wages or loss of earning capacity
Punitive damages if the truck driver or company was grossly negligent
Wrongful death damages if a loved one was killed in the collision
