What Determines Your Settlement Amount?
Medical Expenses
Past and future medical bills are the foundation of your claim. Higher medical costs generally mean higher settlements.
Lost Income
Wages lost due to your injury and any reduction in future earning capacity are fully compensable.
Pain & Suffering
Non-economic damages for physical pain and emotional distress — often 1.5–5x your medical expenses depending on severity.
Liability Strength
The clearer the defendant's fault, the higher your settlement. Disputed liability significantly reduces offer value.
Insurance Policy Limits
The at-fault party's insurance limits cap your recovery unless you pursue them personally or have underinsured coverage.
State Law
Damages caps, comparative fault rules, and local jury trends all significantly affect settlement values.
