You can get a settlement for a car accident if you suffered enough injuries or someone died in the car accident as well.
Usually if you get injured in a car accident as a result of a company vehicle such as an 18 wheeler crashing into you then you can usually sue for that car accident and get a big payout for the car accident and 18 wheeler accident settlement.
Company vehicles such as 18 wheeler and other company vehicles carry big insurance for their vehicles and company so that in the event of an accident they can pay out quickly.
That is if the company vehicle is at fault for the car accident then you can sue using a car accident attorney to help win the settlement.
Then you can either collect your car accident settlement in monthly installments or in one lump sum.
You'll need a car accident attorney to help prove that the company vehicle or other vehicle was at fault for the car accident and that you suffered injuries or some other loss as a result of the accident.
Not all car accidents will get you a settlement for the car accident though especially if you were not injured much or at all.
