No. Sometimes it's a lot more. Think five times as an average because of pain & suffering.

A really good settlement would be one that serves the purpose it was intended for. A settlement is usually given to someone who has endured pain and suffering of some kind.
A victim is someone that has suffered from an accident. Whether the injuries were serious or minor, the person that did not cause the accident is often entitled to damages and funds for pain and suffering.
In order to win a back injury betterment there must be medical evidence that shows sign of injury. Keep all medical records, costs of pain medications, and out of pocket expenses related to the injury for proof of pain and suffering.
