If you’ve suffered a personal injury, you are probably wondering what to expect in terms of settlement. This is a question that you have to discuss with an attorney individually. Providing information here on settlements and verdicts in other cases should not give you any expectations of results in your own case.
The factors involved in settlement value of a case are numerous. For example, in an automobile accident, the factors that the insurance company considers relevant may include property damage, medical treatment and expenses, permanent impairment rating (if applicable), and lost wages. Every case is different, but these are the factors adjusters often consider.
Personal injury settlement data is available from several different sources. We will be glad to discuss our own experience with you in conjunction with reviewing your case.
Verdict data is a topic closely related to settlement data.
What is the difference between a settlement and a verdict? Settlement means that the parties agree to the outcome. Verdict means that a judge or jury tells the parties what the outcome will be. Settlement can happen before, during or after a trial. Verdicts happen after trials, and can be upheld or set aside by appeals courts.
