How much money will I get for a car wreck? That’s often the question that people pose and want to know an answer to. If you’ve been in an accident, and you’ve been seriously injured, AND there’s insurance coverage by the driver that hit you or the person that caused the wreck, then that will determine how much money you receive. The settlement is designed, or the claim that you file is designed to compensate you for the injuries that you received. Therefore, if you received more injuries or greater injuries, you would receive a bigger settlement. That’s tempered however by how much insurance coverage exists; in other words, is there a big insurance policy or a small policy? Because generally, you’re not going to recover more money in a typical auto accident than the coverage that exists.
