How Much Can You Get For Your Personal Injury Claim Settlement?
When you need to know how much you can get for your personal injury claim settlement, several factors must be considered. At Braff Law Firm, our meticulous personal injury lawyers in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose, Fresno, San Francisco and throughout California ensure every type of damage is included to MAXIMIZE your settlement compensation. The following questions are essential for determining a total estimate of the value of your personal injury claim.
1. How severe are your injuries?
- Minor injuries (e.g., minor cuts, bruises, whiplash)
- Moderate injuries (e.g., broken bones, surgeries, hospital stays)
- Severe or permanent injuries (e.g., paralysis, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury)
2. How long will it take to get better from your injury?
- A few days or weeks
- Several months
- Permanent or lifelong limitations
3. Were you partially at fault for your injury? (If so, by what percentage?)
When calculating the value of your personal injury claim settlement, it’s important for you to know the California pure comparative negligence law. Your compensation reduces by your fault percentage for your injuries, but in California, you can still get compensation as long as you are at least 1 percent NOT to blame.
- 0% at-fault = full compensation
- 10%-99% at-fault = compensation reduced by that %
- Over 99% at-fault = no compensation
4. What types of damages are included in your personal injury claim?
- Economic damages: Medical expenses, lost wages, property damage
- Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of life enjoyment
- Punitive damages: Possible if gross negligence or malicious conduct exists
5. Do you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage?
- Especially in car accidents, motorcycle accidents and truck accidents, this affects your ability to recover if the party responsible for your injury lacks sufficient insurance
6. Are there additional parties liable for your accident (e.g., employers, vehicle owners)?
Estimated California Personal Injury Claim Ranges (Based on Injury Severity)
| Factor | Minimum Estimate | Average Estimate | Maximum Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minor Injuries | $5,000 - $15,000 | $15,000 - $30,000 | $30,000 - $50,000+ |
| Moderate Injuries | $30,000 - $75,000 | $75,000 - $150,000 | $150,000 - $300,000+ |
| Severe Injuries | $100,000 - $300,000 | $300,000 - $1,000,000 | $1,000,000 - $5,000,000+ |
(Note: These ranges include medical bills + lost wages + pain and suffering. Every case is unique. Your actual settlement may be higher or lower depending on your circumstances.)
Personal Injury Insurance Coverage and Limits
Your own insurance policy limits and the at-fault party’s insurance coverage may put a ceiling on how much can be recovered through a personal injury settlement (unless you eventually pursue further litigation). If uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage applies or multiple liable parties exist, this may increase available settlement compensation.
Sample Personal Injury Claim Settlement Value
Using Braff Law Firm’s personal injury claim settlement value calculator, suppose you answer:
1. Moderate injury requiring surgery, but full recovery expected in 6 months
2. Lost wages for 3 months due to recovery
3. You were found to be 20% at fault
4. Total medical expenses: $40,000; Lost wages: $15,000
Calculate economic damages:
$40,000 + $15,000 = $55,000
Estimate pain & suffering using multiplier range for moderate injuries:
2× economic damages: $55,000 × 2 = $110,000
Total estimated personal injury claim value before fault reduction:
$55,000 + $110,000 = $165,000
Adjust for comparative negligence (you are 20% at-fault):
$165,000 × (1 – 0.20) = $132,000
In this example, your estimated personal injury claim settlement range would be approximately $132,000, or roughly somewhere between $118,800 and $145,200 (that is, $132,000 +/- 10%) depending on negotiations and other non-economic factors.
(Note: These figures are estimates only. Actual settlement values depend on the unique facts of your case.)
