A:

There’s no average settlement for car accident claims.

However, your attorney may consider various factors when determining how much you can request from the liable party, such as:

• The nature of the crash
• The types and severity of the injuries you suffered
• Your prognosis
• Your medical bills
• How long you have been out of work
• Any out-of-pocket expenses related to the collision
• The emotional and mental effects you’ve experienced since the accident

Many states do not cap how much injured people can request through personal injury claims or lawsuits. That being said, there are losses you could recoup that are not listed here.
