You have been involved in a car accident recently. You suffered injuries that prevent you from returning to work. In addition, you are faced with a list of medical bills. All of that while under serious pain.
If you can prove that you were not at fault and that it was the other party’s negligent actions that caused the accident to occur, you will be eligible to file a car accident claim against the party responsible. Speak with car accident attorneys in Dallas to receive a free case evaluation.
Once you are ready to file a claim, attorneys will help you with the paperwork and help guide you through the process, ensuring that the negotiations are done properly and that you should receive what you are owed.
So how much exactly should you expect to receive from your car accident settlement?
Settlements Are Case-Sensitive
Every car accident settlement is different and depends on the circumstances surrounding that particular case. For example, if you received head injuries, you will get higher compensation than if you had suffered injuries on your legs or arms. Also, if you require surgery or multiple surgeries, you will receive more funds in your settlement.
The greater the injuries, the more you will receive as a result. There are many things that are taken into consideration:
- Your total medical bills: everything that you have been through since the moment of the injury, plus all the future medical bills for the same conditions or injuries. These include your prescription drugs, house care, surgeries, walking aid, doctor’s fees, hospital fees, ambulance fees.
- Your property damage: if your vehicle got damaged in the accident, you may receive compensation for its full repairs.
- Pain and suffering: the compensation for pain and suffering is never easy to calculate. The general rule is the more injuries you obtain, the higher the compensation will be for your pain and suffering. With that in mind, your compensation for pain and suffering can be anywhere from $5,000 to $150,000, depending on your case.
Again, the final settlement is case sensitive, and it is different with every case.
You, Will, Need An Attorney
In order to obtain compensation for everything mentioned above, you will need a legal representative, someone who will be able to help you file the claim, as well as take care of all the negotiations on your behalf. Your settlement will come from the at-fault party’s insurance company, and they are difficult to strike a bargain with. Remember that having an experienced attorney can be all the difference between getting full compensation for your damages, and getting compensated just enough to cover your current medical bills.
With that in mind, give us a call as soon as you are injured and Dallas car accident attorneys will take care of your claim and the negotiations for you. Attorneys will do everything they can to secure you the highest compensation possible in a timely manner.
