Personal Injury Claims: What is the Average Settlement Amount?

If you’ve been involved in an accident, you are probably asking yourself: what do I do now?

These questions only grow when confronted with overwhelming medical bills and the time-consuming, frustrating process of dealing with insurance companies, who are known for denying legitimate claims. The accident itself can cause emotional and physical distress, so you’ve decided to seek a lawyer for professional help. 

But, of course, one question remains: how much is my settlement worth? The simple answer: it varies from case to case. 

Since no case is “average”— just like no accident is “average”—we can’t provide an “average" estimate. Instead, at Morgan & Morgan, we examine each case with the attention and individuality it deserves, and we will never deceive you with a lazy “ballpark estimate” without examining your case in full. Depending on your injuries, insurance coverage, and the circumstances surrounding your case, your settlement will be determined through our dedicated Personal Injury lawyers’ step by step process:

• Injuries: examining in-depth how much your injuries have affected your day to day life
• Negligence: how your injuries have been worsened due to a negligent third-party
• Investigation: taking notes, pictures, and documenting the scene of the accident
• Questioning: listening and documenting testimonies of eye-witnesses 
• Documentation: requesting and reviewing any medical records or documentation, as well as photos and videos, of the accident
• Experts: working with medical professionals to show the extent of your injuries, as well as working with experts who can reconstruct the scene of the accident to demonstrate the case in full

And that’s not all of it: at Morgan & Morgan, our specialized attorneys go into great detail with each unique case to ensure our clients receive the settlement amount that they are entitled to, and since insurance companies know about our reputation, we usually settle early. But if your case needs to go to trial, don’t worry. At Morgan & Morgan, we don’t let the bullies win. We know how to fight and we have the numbers to prove it with our jury verdicts being usually 20 times higher than the pre-trial settlement offers.
