As each case has unique circumstances, the compensation victims obtain can vary widely. For cases in which injuries are relatively minor, payouts may be as little as a few thousand dollars. More serious injuries, particularly those requiring surgery, can result in compensation of tens of thousands of dollars or more.
Some of the factors that may affect how much compensation you receive include:
- The relative strength of your case
- The severity of your injuries
- Your occupation
- The details of how your accident occurred
- Your prognosis
