How to Calculate Your Personal Injury Claim Value

One method used for calculating personal injury settlement values is the calculation method. It provides a rough estimate and is often used as a starting point for settlement negotiations with insurance companies or during legal proceedings.

The calculation method is primarily employed to assess the value of "economic" or "special" damages, which are losses with specific dollar amounts, such as medical bills and repair invoices. This straightforward approach enables injured individuals and insurance companies to estimate special damages by summing up the actual expenses incurred due to the accident.

Example:
Imagine you were in a car accident, resulting in $10,000 in medical bills, $10,000 in lost wages, $2,000 for vehicle repair, and $1,500 in transportation and miscellaneous expenses. The total economic damages result in $23,500.

What Is the Average Settlement Value in Personal Injury Claims?

The value of a personal injury settlement can vary widely, influenced by the unique details of each case. On average, personal injury settlements amount to approximately $55,000. However, this average is skewed by high-value cases, which means it doesn’t always reflect the more common settlement experiences.

Several factors influence these settlement amounts. Cases with severe injuries, lasting disabilities, or significant impact on the claimant’s quality of life often yield higher compensation. For example, settlements for cases involving catastrophic injuries or long-term medical care needs can exceed $100,000 or more. In contrast, cases with minor injuries or minimal financial impact tend to fall below the average, with settlements typically ranging between $3,000 and $15,000.

It’s also essential to consider that settlement amounts are heavily influenced by factors such as the at-fault party’s insurance limits, the strength of the evidence, and the jurisdiction’s laws. Working with an experienced personal injury attorney can be crucial in accurately assessing a claim’s potential value, as they provide insight into how specific case details might affect the settlement outcome.

How Much Money Will I Pay My Lawyer After My Settlement?

Most personal injury lawyers, including Lehmbecker Law, represent clients on a contingency fee basis. With a contingency fee, your lawyer will receive a percentage of the total settlement amount as their fee, but only if you win your case and receive a settlement or jury award. The typical contingency fee percentage ranges from 33% to 40%, although it can vary based on your specific agreement and the complexity of your case.
