How Much Could Your Injury Case Be Worth?

Every case is unique. Use the information below to understand the factors that affect case value, then get a personalized estimate.

Factors That Affect Case Value

Case value is determined by multiple factors. No single factor guarantees a specific outcome, but these elements typically influence settlement amounts:

Medical Expenses
Past and future medical bills, including hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and ongoing treatment.
Lost Wages
Income lost due to inability to work, including future earning capacity if permanently disabled.
Pain and Suffering
Physical pain, emotional distress, and impact on quality of life. Typically calculated as a multiplier of medical expenses.
Severity of Injury
Permanent injuries, disfigurement, or disabilities typically result in higher settlements than temporary injuries.
Liability Clarity
Cases with clear fault and strong evidence typically settle for higher amounts than disputed liability cases.
Insurance Policy Limits
The at-fault party's insurance coverage limits the maximum recoverable amount, regardless of case value.

Realistic Settlement Ranges

These ranges are estimates based on typical California personal injury cases. Your case may fall outside these ranges depending on specific circumstances.

Minor Injuries (Soft Tissue, Minor Cuts)
$5,000 - $25,000
Typically includes minor medical treatment, no permanent injury, quick recovery.
Moderate Injuries (Broken Bones, Surgery Required)
$25,000 - $100,000
Includes significant medical treatment, recovery time, potential lost wages.
Serious Injuries (Multiple Surgeries, Long Recovery)
$100,000 - $500,000
Extensive medical treatment, long-term impact, significant lost wages, ongoing care needs.
Severe/Catastrophic Injuries (Permanent Disability, Wrongful Death)
$500,000 - $5,000,000+
