A: While data is probably available for the average settlement for Fairfax car crashes that result in a fractured pelvis, that information, by itself, would not be very helpful to determining what your case ought to settle for. First, because a fractured pelvis is a very unique injury to have sustained in a car crash, there probably isn’t an awful lot of data. Second, determining a settlement value requires you to consider a variety of things, including medical bills, lost wages, whether the driver was intoxicated, available insurance, and permanent disability.
In a fractured pelvis case, you are probably dealing with a very serious claim for pain and suffering, as well as a significant amount of either permanent damage or greater susceptibility to future damage and problems.
Just knowing what the “normal” settlement figure is will not help you figure out the right value for your case. Each and every case is unique and should be treated as such. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you determine a range of potential values that you might receive if the case went to trial. He can then negotiate with the insurance company to attempt to reach a settlement within that range. If you are unable to reach a settlement on your case with the auto insurance company, your Virginia personal injury lawyer can file your lawsuit with the Court and take you through the litigation process.
