The amount that someone may recover from their personal injury settlement depends on a variety of factors that are often case-specific. This includes things like the amount of resulting medical expenses, the severity and extent of the injuries, the time spent recovering, property damage (if any) and much more. It also depends on the place in which you live. For example, Kentucky does not place any limit on the amount of compensation you are able to receive from a personal injury lawsuit. On the other hand, some states, like Ohio, place a maximum cap on the amount of compensation you are able to receive.
