Here's what we recommend: Organize Necessary Information. Provide Basic Information. Describe the Car Accident. Outline Injuries and Medical Treatment. Explain Impact on Your Life. List Financial Damages. List Your Total Demand for Compensation. Conclude the Letter With a Reasonable Deadline.
That said, here are some average settlement amounts for a few of the most common car accident injuries: Whiplash or other minor soft-tissue injury — $2,500 to $20,000. Mild to moderate concussion — $20,000 to $30,000. Bone/rib fracture — $15,000 to $100,000.
Clearly define objectives before drafting the settlement offer. If monetary compensation is involved, the offer should specify the amount, payment schedule, and contingencies for non-payment.
Understand Your Damages. The foundation of any car accident claim is your damages. Resist the Rush to Accept an Initial Offer. Hire an Experienced Attorney. Build and Preserve a Strong Case. File Your Case Promptly. Avoid Discussing Your Case with the Insurance Company. Stay Off Social Media. Make a Good Impression in Court.
If you've finished treatment for your injuries and the other side accepts liability, a settlement may be reached within a few months. Claims settled out of court generally take less time to resolve. If the claim goes to court and to trial, your case may take a year or longer to reach a resolution.
To win a negligent driver claim, the injured party (the plaintiff) must prove four elements: duty, breach of duty, cause of injury, and damages.
We assign a daily value for pain and suffering damages based on the facts of the case. Then, we multiply the per diem value by the number of days it took for you to recover from your injuries. The recovery period is calculated from the day of your injury through the day your doctor releases you from treatment.
After determining what your case is worth, you should usually ask for around double that amount in your demand letter. This initiates the settlement negotiation process and gives you room to compromise. It also helps you avoid asking for too little and the insurance company agreeing to that amount.
