Put simply, that depends on the details. Every vehicle crash is different, and so the financial compensation is going to vary. Generally, the more severe the injury and the higher the medical bills, the greater the financial compensation will be. If multiple passengers were injured, that can affect the financial award, too. There are other factors that come into play, such as who was at fault, weather conditions, whether a motorist has a history of driving violations and whether substance abuse was involved, just to name a few. Financial compensation for a car crash can range from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In some severe cases, compensation can be a million dollars or more.
