The Million-Dollar Question: What Is Your Auto Accident Case Really Worth?

You’ve seen the TV ads and the billboards. Injured parties holding giant checks, showing the money they’ve received from an auto accident settlement.

The Truth. When it comes to determining the potential insurance settlement from a car accident, several factors come into play. Firstly, the Bodily Injury (B.I.) insurance coverage available plays a significant role. The type and limits of insurance policies held by the parties involved can greatly impact the settlement amount. If the at-fault driver has minimal coverage or is uninsured, it can limit the amount of compensation that can be obtained. Conversely, if the at-fault driver has substantial coverage or if the injured party has uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, it may increase the potential settlement.

Another crucial factor is the extent and nature of the injuries sustained in the car accident. The severity of injuries, medical expenses, and required treatments all influence the potential settlement amount. Significant injuries often lead to higher settlements to cover the long-term medical costs and loss of earning capacity. Additionally, the pain and suffering experienced, emotional distress, and any resulting impact on the quality of life are considered when calculating the settlement.

No attorney can guarantee you a large settlement without knowing the facts of your case! Every case is different. You can’t compare what a relative, a friend or even what you’ve seen on TV ads or read on billboards to your case. Your case could be worth more or less.
