New Hampshire Car Accident Attorneys

Knowing how much to ask for while negotiating a car accident settlement can be confusing if you don't understand what types of damages you will need to cover. In general, most accident settlements seek to compensate the victim for out-of-pocket expenses resulting from their injuries. This can include:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages or income
• Ongoing medical treatment

However, depending on how severe your injuries are you may be entitled to compensation for the following additional damages:

• Pain and suffering
• Wrongful death (if you lost a loved one)
• Emotional damages
• Loss of consortium or companionship

Our car accident lawyers are here to walk you through the process of determining a fair settlement amount and then pursuing that compensation on your behalf.

Car accidents lawsuits that involve personal injury will usually be higher than those that only involve property damage. In the realm of personal injury lawsuits, your settlement will vary depending on how severe your injuries are and what the long-term effects are.

For example, if you suffered only soft-tissue injuries, your compensation will be considerably less than if you suffered a traumatic brain or spinal cord injury. In general, a car accident settlement can range anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 (or possibly more).

Every case is going to carry its own set of complications and there is no set timeline as to how long a car accident lawsuit will take to settle. They can range from anywhere between a few short months to years of litigation. The length of your case will depend on the nature of your injuries and several other factors, some of which include:

• Cooperation of the insurance company

• Whether court is required or the case can be settled

• How many vehicles were involved
