More about this caseExperiencing a Trial with WKW
Bodily injury claims are either resolved outside of the courtroom or at trial. A settlement is an agreement between the victim and the negligent party or insurance company to pay compensation as negotiated. A trial, on the other hand, involves taking the claim to court.
Settlements are typically the quickest way to resolve personal injury lawsuits because when both parties agree to settle, they usually save time, effort, and money. Many personal injury cases end in a settlement agreement. Trials are expensive and taxing, and they often take much longer than settlement negotiations, but juries sometimes award more compensation to victims during a trial than the amounts offered during mediation.
When it comes to your personal injury lawsuit, deciding whether to pursue a settlement or go to trial is a difficult decision. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you decide the best avenue for your case.
After a personal injury accident caused by the negligence of another party, victims have the right to pursue compensation for their injuries. Personal injury lawsuit compensation is divided into two categories: general damages and special damages.
General damages, or non-economic damages, cover intangible, non-monetary losses without an exact dollar amount:
This category of compensation does not have a dollar amount and is more challenging to calculate than economic damages. For example, pain and suffering damages are difficult to quantify. It is in a victim’s best interest to hire an attorney for these calculations.
Special damages, or economic damages, are economic and quantifiable. These damages cover losses that have a measurable dollar amount, such as the following:
Calculating this type of compensation is more straightforward than general damages.
There is no easy answer to requests for average settlement amounts. No set equation or payout for personal injury settlements exists.
Every lawsuit is different, and compensation amounts in settlement negotiations or trial verdicts are based on several different factors, such as the severity of the injury, type of medical treatment, long-term effects of the accident, property damage, and available insurance coverage.
Unfortunately, just because someone else won thousands of dollars in a bodily injury claim settlement doesn’t mean you will, too, but a history of successful case results may demonstrate that a law firm is experienced and qualified to take on a case like yours.
