Standard auto accident calculators fail when applied to **18-wheeler collisions**. Our engine integrates Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) violation triggers, hours-of-service (HOS) audits, and commercial policy layer analysis.

"Calibrated against 15,000+ national commercial trucking verdicts and FMCSA safety audit records (2020-2026)."
A: Average 18-wheeler settlements in 2026 range from $150,000 for moderate injuries to over $2,500,000 for catastrophic cases. Commercial carriers carry high-limit policies (often $1M-$5M+) which significantly elevate potential recoveries compared to private auto claims.
A: Violations of federal regulations (FMCSA) concerning driver fatigue, mechanical maintenance, or drug testing serve as 'absolute liability' triggers. Proving a violation can escalate the non-economic damage multiplier by 1.5x to 3.0x.
A: 18-wheelers are equipped with Electronic Control Modules (ECM) that record speed, braking force, and GPS data in the seconds leading up to a crash. This data provides forensic proof of negligence that cannot be disputed by driver testimony.
