Question:

I got into a car accident that damaged my knee. I had to have surgery for the torn ligaments in the knee. I am going to be trying to collect money from the insurance company. How much should I expect for a knee injury in a car accident insurance claim?

Answer:

The amount of money you can expect to obtain as a result of your knee injury depends largely on the extent of your injuries. The more serious the injury, the higher your damage award will be. For example, if you sustained a mild knee injury that was reparable, you will obtain far less compensation than if you sustained a knee injury that renders you unable to walk.

Generally, the insurer and the judge/jury, if you opt to sue, will consider the level of your pain and suffering associated with the injury, as well as whether there is any permanent or lasting damage, in determining how much to award you or how much to offer as a settlement. 

In any case, you should be able to recover at least the minimum amount that it cost you in medical bills, and any lost wages that you experienced if you missed work .  Speaking to an experienced car accident attorney is advisable, as your attorney can give you more details about how to collect a fair settlement as a result of your accident.
