Car accident injury settlement amounts are never the same and can vary significantly depending on the type of injuries the victim has endured. According to Martindale-Nolo, the average compensation awarded for injured accident victims is $29,700, while the average compensation awarded for an accident victim with no injuries is $16,700. Therefore, the more severe the injury, the higher the settlement amount. This means that a victim who has suffered from loss of limbs will likely receive more compensation than a victim who has only minor bruises.
