A: There are many factors that are used to determine the amount of a settlement in a Michigan car accident case when you make a claim against a negligent driver. These include the seriousness of the injury, the extent of medical treatment, the amount of time missed from work, and any disabilities caused by the car accident. The insurance policy limits of the at fault driver also often determines the size of the settlement. Every case is different and a fair settlement cannot be determined until all of the factors are fully investigated. You can see a sample of our settlements on this website.
