How much is a truck accident settlement worth in Louisiana? The answer is it depends. Hi, I’m David Vigner with Scott Vigner and Gelor. And while that is the most nuanced lawyer answer ever, it is a factual inquiry based on the details, injuries, liability, and other factual circumstance of every single truck accident in Louisiana to figure out what the truck accident settlement in Louisiana is potentially worth.

And so it’s tough to say, hey, the average truck accident settlement is $100,000 or the accident average truck accident settlement is $200,000. Well, because it really is dependent upon the injuries and medical causation or your injuries causally related to this collision and how severe those injuries are.

Unfortunately, the most valuable cases are the cases that involve the most severe injuries in truck accident law in Louisiana. And less valuable cases are thankfully for the client and their families the cases where there are some injuries but not as severe as potentially needing either pain interventional management, surgical intervention or worst case scenario a wrongful death claim. And so severity of damages and injuries are the main levers along with liability on what affects your potential truck accident settlement in Louisiana or your 18-wheeler accident settlement out in Louisiana.

And so to really get a good handle on it, you need to have an adept lawyer who understands your injuries, has a good thorough understanding of the liability in your particular case, who understands the litigation risk and the trial risk associated with your claim, and can give you all of those scenarios to make an informed decision on a potential settlement amount.
