Traffic Accident Statistics in California
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) reports that there were a total of 1,051 motor vehicle accidents that resulted in injury or death in Lancaster in 2010. Based on this figure, the OTS ranks Lancaster as having the 22nd highest number of traffic collisions out of 53 cities throughout the state. Given that the city has a relatively small population compared with the other cities in the list, however, Lancaster is ranked as having the fourth-highest rate of traffic accident injuries and deaths.
Lancaster has one of the lowest rates of motorcycle accidents, at 49th, and is approximately halfway down the list in terms of drunk driving accidents, at 26th out of 53. Car accidents, truck accidents and other types of motor vehicle collisions are among the most common types of accidents in Lancaster, and this is not surprising in light of the amount of time that people in the city spend on the road: The OTS reports that the total number of miles that vehicles travel on an average day in Lancaster is more than 2.4 million.

What is the minimum amount for a personal injury settlement?
There is no minimum amount of money allowed for a personal injury settlement; every case is determined by the unique facts surrounding the claim. Additionally, most jurisdictions do not have a cap on the amount of my money that you can receive through a personal injury settlement.
In California, the amount of money that you can receive for noneconomic damages (pain, suffering, etc.) for a medical malpractice case is limited to $250,000; however, other injury settlements are not subject to this restriction.
-
How will I receive my personal injury settlement?
If you file a claim against an individual, his / her insurance company is probably aware of the judgment. If the insurance is unaware of the settlement, you can notify the insurer. At this point, the insurance provider should issue a check for the settlement.
If the responsible party does not have insurance, you may need to enter the settlement with the court. The court has the authority to enforce the judgment if the responsible party refuses to pay.

How much is my personal injury case worth?
Every case is different. A variety of circumstances determine the value of your claim. Property damage, medical expenses, hospitalization fees, pain, and suffering, missed wages, and many other factors can affect the outcome of your case.
You can even collect damages for future unemployment / missed wages and ongoing medical costs. Speak with a member of the legal team at Accident Attorneys to learn more about the potential value of your case.
