Damages Covered in Personal Injury Settlements

Personal injury claims can cover a wide range of damages, both economic and non-economic, depending on the circumstances of the case. These damages are typically intended to compensate the injured party for their losses and suffering resulting from the accident or injury.

Economic Damages

Medical expenses: These damages may include hospital bills, doctor visits, surgery, prescriptions, physical therapy, medical equipment, and future treatment related to the injury.
Lost wages: Reimbursement for lost income, encompassing both current and potential future earnings.
Property damage: Coverage for the repair or replacement of damaged personal property, such as vehicles or belongings.
Out-of-pocket expenses: Compensation for miscellaneous costs incurred as a result of the injury, such as transportation, home modifications, or assistive devices.

Non-Economic Damages

Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical pain, emotional distress, and suffering caused by the injury.
Mental anguish: Damages intended to address psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns stemming from the accident or injury.
Loss of enjoyment of life: Compensation for the diminished ability to partake in activities, hobbies, or daily life.
Loss of consortium: In some cases, damages may also cover the effect the injury has had on a marriage or close family relationship.

Because there are so many different kinds of damages you could qualify for, it’s vital to work with a skilled legal team to ensure you recover all possible compensation.

How to Calculate Your Personal Injury Claim Value

Most rough estimates start with economic damages, such as medical bills, lost income, property damage, and other direct financial losses tied to the injury. In Washington, fault can also affect the final number. Under RCW 4.22.005, a person’s own share of fault reduces the damages they can recover, but it does not automatically block recovery altogether.

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

Example: Imagine you were in a car accident that resulted 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 would then result in $23,500.

What Is the Average Settlement Value in Personal Injury Claims?

Average figures do not tell you much about the value of a single case. One serious injury claim can push the overall average up, while a minor-injury case may settle for far less. The better question is what facts drive the value of your claim.

Key issues include the type of injury, the length of recovery, whether the injury caused long-term limitations, the amount of lost income, the cost of future treatment, and the amount of evidence in your favor. In Washington, a person’s share of fault can reduce the recovery, and in many motor vehicle cases, the available insurance coverage can have a major effect on what can actually be collected.

For car accident claims, insurance limits can matter as much as the injury itself. Washington law requires drivers to carry liability coverage, and the Washington State Department of Licensing lists the current minimums as $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident, for injury or death to two people in one accident, and $10,000 for property damage.

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.

Under a contingency fee structure, your lawyer will receive a percentage of the total settlement amount as their fee, but only if you win your case. The typical contingency fee percentage ranges from 33.33% to 40%, although it can vary based on your specific agreement and the complexity of your case.
