In most cases, the other driver's insurance company will be responsible for paying your damages. However, if the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may need to file a claim with your own insurance company.
It is important to speak with an experienced attorney to get an accurate estimate of the amount of money that you may be able to recover.
Here are some general guidelines on the amount of money that you can expect to receive for different types of injuries:
- Minor injuries: $1,000 - $10,000
- Moderate injuries: $10,000 - $50,000
- Severe injuries: $50,000 - $100,000
- Catastrophic injuries: $100,000+
You may also be able to receive compensation for your pain and suffering. The amount of compensation that you can receive for pain and suffering will depend on the severity of your injuries and the impact that they have had on your life.
