How it works

We total your medical, vehicle and lost-wage damages, add a severity-based pain & suffering amount, and subtract a typical contingency fee for your net.

Policy limits matter: the at-fault driver's coverage can cap the real payout regardless of your damages.

What drives a car accident payout

A car-crash settlement starts with your hard costs — medical treatment, vehicle repair or total-loss value, and the wages you lost while recovering — then adds pain and suffering scaled to how badly you were hurt. Whiplash and soft-tissue cases sit at the low end; broken bones, surgery or lasting injury climb fast.

The things this can’t see

Fault and insurance limits often cap the real number. If the at-fault driver carries minimal coverage, the policy limit — not your damages — may decide the payout. And if you share some blame, comparative-negligence rules can reduce it. Treat this as your opening estimate, then let an attorney pressure-test it against the facts.
