What Is the Average Car Accident Settlement For a Bodily Injury?

A car accident that results in bodily injury can be devastating emotionally, physically, and financially. If you or a loved one have been seriously injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation.

In most cases involving car accidents and bodily injuries, compensation is paid by the at-fault person’s insurance company. How much you get will depend on the severity of your injury and the circumstances of your case.

At Morgan & Morgan, our attorneys can help you negotiate with the responsible party’s insurance company to help you receive the compensation you deserve.

What is Considered a Bodily Injury?

A bodily injury is any physical damage caused to your body. Examples of bodily injuries include:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Burns
• Bruises
• Cuts, abrasions, or lacerations
• Disfigurement
• Impairment of the function of a body part or organ
• Internal bleeding
• Pain

How Much Will I Receive in My Bodily Injury Settlement?

Your settlement amount will depend on a number of variables, including the seriousness of your injury, the state in which you’re located, and the circumstances surrounding your case.

There are a number of expenses and damages that you may be able to recover in your settlement. These include:

• Medical and hospital expenses 
• Vehicle repair expenses
• Pain and physical suffering
• Lost wages, if your injury prevents you from working
• Emotional trauma

Across the country, Morgan & Morgan attorneys have a proven track record of success when it comes to litigating motor vehicle accident claims and helping our clients on the path to recovery. For instance, we helped reach a $2.6 million settlement for a 28-year-old man who was in an accident that fractured his skull and required a titanium plate insertion. In another instance, when a 50-year-old ironworker was in a head-on collision and suffered a severe fracture of his right foot, we won a $950,000 settlement for this client.

These are just two examples of how we consistently use our resources to fight against insurance companies, who often lowball or devalue our clients’ car accident claims. If you believe your claim is worth more than what the insurance company is offering, contact our experienced car accident attorneys today.
