Is There a Formula For Determining a Fair Car Accident Settlement?

If you have recently been injured in a Chicago car accident, and you plan to file an Illinois personal injury claim, then NO, there is no formula for determining a fair car accident settlement. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not being honest with you. Perhaps this idea will come from an insurance claims adjuster, who wants you to accept less money than you deserve.

The fact is that each car accident and injury has different circumstances that will affect the potential settlement of an Illinois personal injury claim. No set formula can estimate the amount of money a victim deserves.

Some of the factors that are considered in an Illinois personal injury claim include:
 

  • The cost of repairs to your vehicle and other damaged property
  • The cost of your medical bills
  • Your physical pain and suffering
  • The amount of time it took you to heal or if the injury is permanent
  • Any wages that you lost, or wages that you may lose in the future due to your personal injuries

All of these factors plus additional ones specific to your case will need to examined to come up with what a fair settlement should be concerning your Illinois personal injury claim. To help you determine if your settlement offer will cover your short and long terms needs as well as negotiate with insurance adjusters, you can get the professional help of a Chicago personal injury lawyer.
