Every case is different and it’s hard to give an accurate estimate on a settlement amount until a lawyer has investigated your case. However, an accident that requires only a quick trip to the emergency room and some moderate car repairs might earn victims an average of around $1,000 in compensation.
But when injuries are more serious, the stakes are raised. Victims may need medical care for months, years, or for a lifetime due to traumatic injuries. For these types of cases, your lawyer may demand tens of thousands of dollars or more. CCD Law has helped injured car accident victims earn settlement checks worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Earning the Most for Your Spokane Car Accident Settlement
The resolution for car accidents involving just vehicle damage has become pretty standard. A wrecked car goes into a body shop where an estimate is determined. The at-fault driver’s car insurance provider will hopefully pay for the repairs and for a rental car while repairs are underway.
A lawyer probably can’t help you earn any more for your accident claim involving body damage or only minor injuries than you could earn by filing a claim yourself.
The math changes when a serious injury is involved, though. The price tag for hospital care immediately goes up and the lost time at work for a victim trying to heal starts to multiply.
Victims might need to have money to get surgeries in the years ahead if broken bones don’t grow back together correctly. Months of expensive physical therapy sessions may be recommended by the doctor. Injured victims may not be able to return to their jobs if they suffer a permanent disability. They’ll struggle to support their families and could need help paying for training to prepare for a new career.
All of these factors and more must factor into how much a car insurance company should be paying out.
- One of our clients at CCD was paralyzed after a rear-end collision. We helped her win $750,000 for her care.
- Another client was in a car struck by a passing vehicle. The 19-year-old victim suffered facial injuries and a broken nose and jaw. We assisted this victim in securing over $450,000 in an injury settlement.
These are just a few examples of the types of settlements we’ve been successful in winning for injured victims in need of urgent help getting the best care available and paying for that care.

Speak to a Spokane Car Accident Lawyer in a Free Consultation
Traffic accident victims suffering serious injuries should receive more care and financial help from car insurance companies. Unfortunately, elevated costs often trigger insurers for at-fault drivers to fight harder to avoid accepting blame. Their adjusters might try to blame you for a collision, or question how bad your injuries are to get away with offering less in compensation.
When a serious injury is involved, a skilled attorney provides protection against insurance tactics and makes sure you receive a settlement that covers your physical, emotional, and financial damages. A CCD Lawyer can often secure victims much more than they could secure by filing an injury claim themselves.
CCD offers a free consultation with an actual lawyer to all injured Spokane area car accident victims. It’s an easy way to find out if you should be demanding more for the injuries you’ve had to suffer through. If you do end up needing our help to hold an insurer fully liable, you won’t need any money to hire us. We don’t get paid unless we win your case is successful. Then, our fee comes out of the support an auto insurance company is forced to provide.
