It really depends on the injury. Minor cases with limited treatment will typically settle for less than $15,000. Cases where the pain lingers beyond what you would expect may have a settlement value that approaches $100,000, especially if there is an objective injury. Serious injury cases that can be proven and lead to a permanent injury can exceed $1 million. Our law firm has handled cases that no one thought much about at first but ultimately resulted in high six-figure or seven-figure settlement.
