If you get into a car accident and then sue the other driver who is at fault for your car accident that caused whiplash and you won the court case on the whiplash lawsuit then you would get a settlement for the whiplash injury of between $2,500.00 to $10,000.00 for less severe cases of whiplash.
If your whiplash was more severe and required more therapy and doctors visits then you might get even more money from the lawsuit as a settlement.
More severe whiplash lawsuit cases get an average settlement of between $15,000.00 to $30,000.00 and of course you have to pay your lawyers fees for helping you win the lawsuit.
So there will be less money in the settlement that you will get because you have to pay the lawyer.
So if you got $2,500.00 for your lawsuit for the whiplash then you would likely get $1,000.00 to $1,500.00 of that money after deductions for paying the lawyer.
