Typical back injury settlement amounts and how they're figured.
A back injury commonly settles in the $20,000–$100,000 range, with pain & suffering often estimated at about 3.0× medical bills — but severity, permanence and liability move it a lot.
Add your economic damages (medical bills, lost wages) to a pain & suffering figure (medical bills × a severity multiplier near 3.0 for this injury). Run it in the calculators on this site.
Objective imaging, consistent treatment, permanence, and clear liability all raise value. Gaps in treatment or shared fault lower it. Document everything.
