FAQ
A car accident case typically goes to court when representatives for the plaintiff and the liable party cannot agree to a fair settlement.
Average Car Accident Settlement Examples in California Whiplash: $5,000-$20,000. Mild-Moderate Concussion: $20,000-$30,000. Knee or Shoulder Injury: $30,000-$100,000. Broken/Fractured Bones: $30,000-$100,000. Moderate Neck or Back Injury: $30,000-$100,000. Herniated Disc: $50,000-$100,000+
Types of damages you can claim as part of your settlement include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, future lost earnings potential, and property damage. Settlements can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few years to obtain, based on the nature of your accident.
Under the Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations guideline that California follows, an insurance company must settle a claim immediately, if possible. If it can't settle it immediately, it must do so within 40 days of receiving the proof of claim forms.
The most common method used to calculate what a personal injury settlement should be worth is to add up the special damages and then add one to five times that amount for your pain and suffering, depending on the severity.
How long a car accident trial lasts depends on several factors. A trial can last from a single day to weeks. Trial by a judge or jury, evidence presentation, and legal strategies can all influence how long a trial lasts. Ultimately, a trial ends when both sides rest their case and a jury or judge decides the verdict.
Statistically, only three to five percent of car accident cases go to trial. Instead, most lawsuits are settled before a trial becomes necessary.
