When it comes to achieving a significant personal injury settlement, there’s one crucial factor that stands out.
The Key to a Large Settlement
Not to be morbid, but the unfortunate reality is that the number one way to secure a personal injury settlement is to have a significant, catastrophic injury. Despite what you see on TV or billboards, most personal injury cases do not result in huge settlements. The cases you often hear about in the news or through word of mouth typically involve severe, life-altering injuries, such as paralysis or other catastrophic conditions.
The Correlation Between Injury Severity and Case Value
It’s rare for an insurance company or a large corporation to agree to a large payout for minor injuries. There is a direct correlation between the severity of the injury and the value of the case. This is simply how the system works, and it makes sense that more severe injuries result in higher settlements.
Major Injuries or Death
To have a substantial case, unfortunately, you need to have major injuries or even a death caused by someone else’s negligence. These are the types of cases that lead to significant settlements.
