Auto Accident Payouts
Hi everyone, I was recently in an auto accident and sustained a few injuries. I’m curious to hear about your experiences—what injuries did you have, and what compensation did you receive? I’m just trying to get a general idea of what to expect.
Edit: My accident happened almost two months ago. I’ve been dealing with pain in my hand/wrist, shoulder, neck, and ongoing back pain since then. I’ve been attending physical therapy since the first week following the accident and have already had MRIs and X-rays done. I’m currently waiting for the results of my back MRI.
I’m sorry to hear about your accident and the injuries you’re dealing with. It’s great that you’re actively seeking treatment through physical therapy and getting the necessary imaging done. When it comes to payouts, they can vary widely based on a number of factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and how much insurance coverage is available.
Many people report settlements that range from a few thousand dollars for minor injuries to much larger amounts for more serious, ongoing pain and medical care. Typically, injuries that require extensive medical treatment, like your ongoing back pain and therapy, might lead to a higher payout.
It’s also important to keep detailed records of all your medical treatments, expenses, and any impact the injuries have had on your daily life. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can be helpful as they can guide you on how to navigate the claims process and potentially maximize your settlement.
Wishing you a smooth recovery and the best of luck with your case!
