It is impossible to say beforehand how much you can receive for a given personal injury claim. The exact figure depends on several factors, such as:
- Injury severity: The more severe the injury, the greater the amount of compensation you can seek. For instance, a traumatic brain injury is more severe than a broken wrist and will probably result in a higher settlement.
- Degree of impairment: Some injuries can cause impairment and make it difficult to engage in daily tasks. Claims involving disabilities or impairment from injuries can result in higher settlements or awards.
- Medical costs: Injuries that require extensive emergency medical treatment and follow-up care can justify demanding a higher-value settlement.
- Insurance limits: Liability insurance has maximum coverage limits. The insurer won’t pay more than that, and if the at-fault party has limited or no resources, your settlement may be constrained by the policy limits.
- Extent of pain and suffering: A settlement should also account for the degree of physical pain and conscious suffering that you experienced due to your injuries.
