A reasonable settlement for a car accident will meet your needs for financial recovery. Car accident settlements typically range anywhere from $14,000 to $28,000. An average settlement is roughly $21,000. However, your claim may be worth more or less, depending on the circumstances. We can review your evidence and give you an estimated settlement amount. If your injuries are severe, you might warrant a higher settlement. As an example of our real case results, we recovered $450,000 for one of our clients who required lower back surgery after a car accident. You may also win more in punitive damages if the other driver was behaving recklessly at the time of the accident.
