A settlement is reached after many car accidents. Your semi-truck accident attorney will counsel against settling your case if the insurance company is not making a reasonable offer. Serious injuries are known to result from crashes involving large trucks, and your recovery can take several months or even years. It is imperative that the settlement you receive is enough to cover the full extent of your damages, and the level of compensation you are owed will depend on many factors. This is due to the fact that each case has its own distinct set of facts and circumstances. What happened, how it happened, and how the event affected you are all factors that determine compensation.
