Frequently Asked Questions
How is a personal injury settlement calculated?
Most insurance companies use the multiplier method, where your medical expenses are multiplied by a factor of 1.5 to 5 based on injury severity. Lost wages and other economic damages are added to determine the total settlement range.
What is the average personal injury settlement?
The average personal injury settlement ranges from $15,000 to $75,000, but this varies enormously based on injury type, severity, medical costs, and jurisdiction. Severe injuries like TBI or spinal cord damage can result in settlements exceeding $1 million.
How long does it take to settle a personal injury claim?
Most personal injury claims settle within 6 to 18 months. Simple cases like minor car accidents may resolve in a few months, while complex cases involving surgery or permanent disability can take 2 or more years.
Should I accept the first settlement offer?
Generally no. Initial settlement offers from insurance companies are typically 20-40% below fair value. An experienced personal injury attorney can negotiate significantly higher compensation.
