Why Use a Settlement Calculator?
This calculator gives you a quick and reliable way to estimate a fair settlement, even in the complex circumstances of a hit-and-run case. While it’s not a final number, it offers clarity to help you plan your next steps.
Understanding Your Hit and Run Settlement
Hit-and-run cases often involve unique complications, such as uninsured motorist claims or the challenge of identifying the responsible party. Settlement values depend on several factors, including:
Medical Expenses:
Injuries from hit-and-run accidents often require emergency care, physical therapy, and ongoing treatment. Settlements aim to cover these costs, including future medical needs.
Lost Wages:
If your injuries prevent you from working, your settlement may include compensation for past and future lost income, particularly if your earning capacity is permanently reduced.
Pain and Suffering:
Non-economic damages, such as physical pain, emotional distress, and a diminished quality of life, are significant factors in determining a settlement for a hit-and-run accident.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage:
If the at-fault driver is not located, your settlement may rely on uninsured motorist coverage. This factor plays a key role in many hit-and-run claims.
Types of Hit and Run Injuries and Their Impact
Hit-and-run accidents can cause a range of injuries, from minor to life-altering. Understanding the specifics of your injuries is essential for determining a fair settlement value.
Hit-and-run cases often require additional documentation, such as police reports and witness statements, to support your claim. Clear evidence linking the accident to your injuries is critical for maximizing your settlement.
Data shows that settlements in hit-and-run cases are often 15-20% higher when claimants provide extensive evidence of uninsured motorist coverage and the severity of their injuries.
| Injury Type | Average Settlement Range | Common Causes |
|---|---|---|
| Soft Tissue Injuries | $5,000 – $50,000 | Low-impact collisions |
| Bone Fractures | $50,000 – $200,000 | High-speed impacts |
| Traumatic Brain Injuries | $500,000 – $3,000,000+ | Severe crashes, head-on collisions |
| Spinal Cord Injuries | $1,000,000 – $5,000,000+ | Rollover accidents, hit from behind |
