No two car accident cases are exactly the same, therefore car accident injury compensation varies depending on a variety of factors. In a car accident settlement, the plaintiff receives compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages, property damage, emotional distress, and medical bills.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, in 2020 the average claim for bodily injury was $20,235.
Compensation amounts also vary depending on the state, as certain states consider negligence differently than others. It’s important to discuss your settlement options with a car accident attorney who can guide you through this difficult process and help you better understand your specific injuries and what that may mean in regard to your car accident compensation.
