Is this a two-car accident? Is the other party at fault? Are you asking this because you want to make a claim with the other party's insurance company? If so, you might want to consult with a personal injury attorney to see if he or she can get more than your actual out-of-pocket expenses (medical and lost work, less what has been paid by your insurance).

Agree with "AKlawyer." WHERE is also important. There is no "one size fits all" answer to this question.
The only way to know what it's "worth" is to consult with a personal injury attorney.

I... ... more than your actual out-of-pocket expenses (medical and lost work, less what has been paid by your insurance).
Also including, of course, any deductable you had to pay for your vehicle damage.

1. Who was at fault ?
2. were you a driver or passenger?
3. single car accident or multiple car
4 where did this happen at.
If in the US what state
5 Does the liable party have insurance ?
6. if they have insurance what is the max coverage for medial bills
You know the case cold be worth 200,000 dollars that is for your attorney to decide but the issue is, most people in the US only have 25,000 to 50,000 dollars in medical payment for accident coverage. So you can win more in a law suit, but you never get the money, The max you can get in a check is the max of the insurance company payment, unless the people you hit are rich, ( most are not)
