How Much Compensation Can You Win?
The amount of compensation awarded in car accident cases ranges considerably, with some settlements including only medical payments and others including additional damages that raise the settlement amount dramatically.
To determine how much you could win in one of these cases, consider the impact the accident has had on your life. When calculating your settlement amount, the court will consider the bills you have incurred, as well as the intangible effects the accident has had on your life.
