If you were recently injured in a car accident and are contemplating filing a lawsuit, you are probably wondering what the average car accident settlement is in Texas.
However, it is difficult to quantify an average settlement amount because each case is different.
It is best to speak with an experienced car accident attorney to discuss the unique factors of your case.
Based on the information you provide to your attorney, they will be able to give you a better idea of what you may be entitled to.
The value of your case can be as low as a few thousand dollars or as high as six figures. The amount of your settlement will depend upon several factors including, but not limited to:
Our attorneys at Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP, can help you determine the potential value of your case.
To receive the maximum amount of compensation you may be entitled to, you will need evidence to prove your damages.
The more evidence you have, the stronger your claim will be and the more likely you are to recover a large settlement.
Some examples of evidence typically used in car accident claims are:
You may have some or all of these. However, if you only have one or two pieces of evidence, do not fret. You may still have a very strong case.
Typical car accident settlement amounts will also depend on the type of damages you are entitled to.
There are generally three types of damages: economic, non-economic, and punitive damages.
The best way to gain a better understanding of typical car accident settlement amounts is to speak with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney.
A skilled attorney will be able to hear your story and provide you with a more tailored projection.
If you were partially at fault for the car wreck, it may diminish the value of your claim. This is typically known as comparative negligence. In other words, the plaintiff at least partially contributed to the accident.
In Texas, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for the accident, you may still recover damages.
Aside from your own contributing negligence, there are some other factors that can lower your potential settlement including:
Even if some of these factors may apply to you, it does not mean you are not entitled to any recovery; it simply means that you may receive slightly less compensation.
A personal injury attorney will be able to help you identify any of these issues and how to adequately address them moving forward.
