How much compensation could I receive?

The amount of compensation you could receive from your claim depends on a variety of factors. There are no black and white figures to correspond with specific injuries. Every car accident personal injury victim will not receive the same amount of compensation.

To uncover an estimated amount of potential compensation, you can study the factors that go into the decision. Evaluate your situation against the factors and roughly calculate how much you could receive from your compensation claim.

Here are the three biggest factors that go into deciding how much compensation you could receive.

1. Severity

The severity of your injury plays an important role in your compensation claim. The location of your injury and the seriousness of it can be a deciding factor. This is one of the most obvious variables, but also one of the most difficult to account for.

Was your injury life-threatening? How common is the injury? Is the injury located close to your heart or head? Did you have to undergo surgery? Did you end up in the hospital overnight? Did the doctors place you on a 24 hour watch?

The answers to the questions above will help you evaluate how severe your injury is.

2. Duration

The duration of your injury and suffering also plays a role in determining how much compensation you could receive. How long you endured physical, emotional or mental suffering is important. How long you were unable to support yourself physically, emotionally, mentally or financially can make a big difference.

How long will you be off work? How much will you lose in wages as a result? How long will you suffer overall? How long does the average person suffer for similar injuries? Is there a chance that the pain or suffering could be prolonged or permanent?

The answers to the questions above will help you explore the duration of your injury even further.

3. Evidence

Just as with any other legal claim, evidence is key. Without evidence that you did in fact endure pain and suffering, you do not have a personal injury case. Without evidence that the injury is the fault of someone's negligence or wilful harm, you do not have a personal injury case.

Who is responsible for your injury? Who can attest to that liability? What is the extent of your injury? Who can attest to the fact that you are enduring pain and suffering?
