Settlements by the Numbers
Understanding
Personal Injury Cases
Personal injury cases help victims seek compensation when someone else's actions or negligence cause harm.
- Claims may arise from accidents like car crashes caused by distracted driving
- Cases can also involve negligence, such as slipping on a wet floor in a poorly maintained store
- Most cases are resolved through out-of-court settlements with the at-fault party or their insurer
- If no settlement is reached, a civil lawsuit may be filed to pursue compensation through the court system
Experience in Personal Injury Law
Injury Law Practice Areas
We represent clients in all types of injury claims as we are dedicated to helping victims of negligence receive fair compensation and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
Types of Case Settlements
Whether a case is settled out of court or the settlement is determined through litigation in favor of the plaintiff, the amount received is based on several factors that can be divided into two main categories:
Special Damages – These include specific costs related to the accident, including lost wages, medical bills, and estimates of future costs of the injury.
Non-economic Damages – These include more “abstract” costs, such as chronic pain, permanent injury or disability, disfigurement, or emotional trauma.
Punitive damages are also a non-economic cost, but they’re factored differently. While they are awarded to the victim of the injury, they are specifically awarded as a punishment to the defendant, such as in the case of a drunk driving accident or the gross negligence of a company who sold a faulty product.
