Whiplash Injury Compensation

Although most personal injury attorneys see dozens, if not hundreds, of cases per year, each case always presents a different set of facts, which can lead to a wide variety of outcomes for the client. There are essentially two ways to be compensated for a whiplash injury: trial verdict awards or a settlement.

Whiplash Trial Verdicts

Leading up to and during a personal injury trial, your lawyer will have to provide substantial evidence of their client’s whiplash injury. If a judge or jury renders a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, the plaintiff can expect two forms of compensatory damages: economic and non-economic.

Economic damages provide compensation for loss incurred by the plaintiff, including lost income, medical bills, property damage, and other expenses. Non-economic damages provide compensation for damages not easily calculated, like pain and suffering, inability to work, and loss of consortium (inability to maintain intimacy with loved ones).

Whiplash Settlements

These days, personal injury settlements are far more common. The reality is that many parties (including many plaintiffs) do not want the hassle or unpredictability of going to trial, which prompts parties to seek out of court settlements. Because every whiplash injury is a little different, settlement amounts can depend on the parties involved, the circumstances that led to the injury, and the severity of the injury.

Settlement dollar figures can range from a few thousand dollars to upwards of hundreds of thousands. Our car accident injury case results show the various types of car accident cases we’ve helped clients with.
