Because every whiplash case is different, there’s no “average” settlement amount. With a successful claim, you could be entitled to compensation for the following losses:
Medical expenses related to the treatment of your whiplash injury
Lost wages and lost future earning potential, if you are too injured to work
Vehicle repair or replacement costs, if your car was damaged
The subjective costs of the pain and suffering you endured
If you intend to file a whiplash injury claim after a Colorado car accident, the law imposes a three-year deadline on your ability to take action. This three-year time limit begins the moment you are injured, so it’s important to act quickly. If you fail to file your claim within the appropriate time frame, your case may be dismissed, and you could lose your ability to recover compensation.
