$34 Million
This tractor-trailer accident settlement came after a final insurance company offer of $14 million. Jordan M. Jones worked alongside partnering attorneys to secure additional compensation for victims and families in what was the largest truck crash settlement in the US for 2014.
$10.5 Million
A woman was seriously injured after she was rear-ended by a semi-truck in a construction area. Our attorneys found $10 million extra dollars of insurance coverage that two other lawyers had missed from another trucking company who “claimed” they were not involved and had nothing to do with the crash. By working relentlessly, our attorneys eventually discovered the paper trail which proved that other company was involved, and held them accountable.
$5 Million
A young woman was rear-ended by a truck while she was stopped on the highway in traffic. The case settled for $5M in a confidential county. The other driver claimed he was off the clock, but our attorneys were able to prove otherwise and hold his employer accountable for their driver’s negligence.
$3.3 Million
A truck’s tire separated from the vehicle on the highway and struck the roof and windshield of another vehicle, resulting in the death of a 20-year-old college student. This settlement was the top-reported commercial vehicle wrongful-death accident in that county.
$2 Million
An elderly couple was rear-ended by a semi-truck in a construction zone. Our attorneys were able to prove that the truck driver was driving while distracted. The trucking company’s final offer before trial was $748,000, but our lawyers obtained a $2M jury verdict.
$2 Million
This was a highly contested case where the trucking company claimed that another driver was at fault all along. Our attorneys never gave up, and ultimately settled this case for a woman who suffered a brain injury.
$2 Million
This was a disputed truck crash where the trucking company and the truck driver were blaming our client, saying she lost control of her vehicle in bad weather. Our attorneys were able to prove that the trucking company falsified documents to make it look like they properly trained their driver, when really they didn’t.
$1.95 Million
We recovered a $1.95 million wrongful death settlement in a case where our lawyers were brought in by another personal injury law firm that does extensive advertising to try to find more insurance coverage. The referring law firm was told there was only $1 million dollars in insurance coverage. We took the case and found another $1 million in coverage.
$1.63 Million
In this accident, our client was a truck driver. This truck crash involved multiple tractor trailers in bad driving conditions. Liability was strongly contested by the trucking company and the truck driver, who were blaming the weather. Through hard work, our lawyers proved that the trucking company never trained their driver properly, and then tried to hide documents to cover it up.
$1.5 Million
In this confidential case in Federal Court, the truck accident victim suffered injuries and broken bones all over her body. The trucking company originally said our client was at fault, but our attorneys found surveillance footage from a nearby store that proved otherwise.
$1.375 Million
A woman was involved in a rear-end collision by a commercial semi-truck on the freeway and suffered lower back and neck injuries. Our attorneys took on a mega trucking company that had thousands of trucks and won.
$1.25 Million
A truck driver rear-ended a pickup truck in a highway traffic jam, pushing the pickup into our client’s minivan. Our attorneys took on one of the biggest trucking companies in the United States and their team of lawyers, and won. The trucking company was blaming another driver, and even said the vehicle damage was so minor that nobody could have been injured.
$1.15 Million
This rear-end collision was caused by a truck with bad brakes. Our client broke his arm and had other injuries. Our attorneys held the company accountable for not taking care of their trucks.
Frequently Asked Questions about
Truck Accident Settlements
When a truck accident with injuries has occurred and the truck driver or trucking company is at fault, the insurance company will often call the injured person or their loved ones offering a lump sum of money to cover expenses related to the immediate injuries. This payment aims to “settle” the case.
However, an experienced truck accident lawyer will typically demand further compensation to cover many additional expenses. A trucking attorney can negotiate the best possible settlement amount. In truck accident cases, our attorneys have helped several clients collect millions of dollars in settlements.
Published data covering all California or national truck accident payouts and settlements does not currently exist. Each large commercial vehicle injury case is unique and these cases involve a diverse range of settlement and verdict amounts. There’s not a straightforward way to calculate an average settlement.
However, reviewing just the big rig cases our attorneys have handled, we have a number of truck accident settlements that have exceeded $1 million.
If you want to find out how much fair compensation you may be entitled to in your case, contact us for a free consultation with one of our experienced trucking lawyers.
There are a number of ways that injured victims in California can receive semi-truck accident compensation after a crash. The most common include:
- A settlement before a lawsuit has been filed.
- A settlement negotiated after a lawsuit has been filed.
A verdict in a personal injury trial where a jury directs how much the at-fault truck driver, trucking companies and insurers must pay to the victim to cover expenses, often including pain and suffering.
Unfortunately, there is not an average time for how long a truck or commercial vehicle accident settlement can take in California. Many variables exist and case timelines are not possible to predict with accuracy.
However, there are a handful of deciding factors in each case that can definitely affect how quickly a case settles or continues:
- The complexity of the case. Some trucking cases are very complicated and involve lots of companies and multiple legal issues.
- The insurance companies involved for the truck driver and trucking company.
- The adjuster for the trucker’s insurer
Good faith negotiations with the defense lawyer assigned to represent the truck driver and trucking company. Keep in mind that defense lawyers will seek to protect the insurance companies and will typically aim to avoid offering high settlement amounts. Our demands and negotiations for you may take us all the way to trial if you’re not getting a fair resolution to your case.
Our goal is to resolve your injury case in the quickest and most successful manner possible.
