Car accident Settlement: How much can you get?

According to one source, the average car accident settlement is a little bit more than $15,400. That’s for car accidents that involve a bodily injury. Most car settlements are between $14,000 and $28,000. If you want to get a rough estimate on your own car accident settlement, then add up your expenses and multiply that sum by three. For example, add up your expenses for medical bills, car repairs, and lost wages, then multiply that sum by three.

The average claim that includes property damage is a little bit more than $3,000.

A settlement means that your case has been resolved out of court. Typically, it means a one- time payment has been mutually agreed upon by the parties and the defendant usually does not admit fault. Settlements are significantly less stressful than going to trial.

Automobile liability policies generally provide coverage for pain and suffering claims. Typically referred to as “bodily injury liability,” this coverage applies to pain and suffering damages, as well as claims for medical bills and lost wages.
