Answer
  • A permanent injury as opposed to a temporary or acute injury will have more 'value' than the acute one, because you will (in theory) have to deal with this permanent injury you entire life.

The "Value" of the permanency will depend on many things including how the injury affects your life and work-life expectancy, whether you will continue to experience pain for years to come..and whether the permanency will require future costly medical treatments.

  • In the UK - the amount of compensation for pain and suffering for a personal injury depends on the part of your body which is injured and the severity of the injury to that part of your body. See the related link entitled "compensation amounts" to see a list of body parts and the amounts of compensation you can claim for various injuries to each body part.

How do you calculate personal injury settlement?

You must know what damages you are entitled to in your State. Then you gather proof of those damages. Generally you add your medical bills to your wage loss to get what are called spacial damages. Then you add in your pain and suffering. The greater your injury and the more it has interrupted your life the greater your damages that should be awarded. For instance if your injury is permanent and you will have pain the rest of your life and your ability to stand or walk is decreased those are factors that should go into the calculation of your damages. You also need to research what juries in your area are awarding for similar injuries. Often in a serious injury claim it is best to seek the advice of an experienced personal injury lawyer that can guide you and help you to not only calculate the value of your injury, but help you get that value from the insurance company.

What are your rights if you are hit by a drunk driver while sitting at a stop light?

The same thing that anyone would be entitled to if hit by a sober driver: repair or total loss settlement of the vehicle; possible medical coverage if your state doesn't require you to have your own auto medical coverage; and possibly a bodily injury claim if the person sitting at the light was injured. The "drunk driver" part could come into play if, say, the bodily injury portion of the claim went to trial. A sympathetic jury or judge might say the drunk driver's condition at the time of the loss would increase the value of a bodily injury claim. Still, the drunk driver's insurance carrier would only pay the value of the bodily injury claim, which doesn't include punitive damages found against the drunk driver.
