Answer
James,

Well, this is very hard to determine. There are soo many variables that come into play that any answer I give you would be inaccurate.

Many things come into play, what do the medical records say, do you have any permanent injuries, are you back to pre accident condition. Are juries in your jurisdiction willing to give you more than in other states, do you have a lawyer, do you have pre existing injuries, etc.

visit: http://www.auto-insurance-claim-advice.com/bodily-injury-claim.html

for more information about the claim you can make and how to document them. Soo many times, you are not awarded certain damages because you do not ask for them.

Again, I am sorry for not giving you an straight answer, if I do I would probably be incorrect.

Good Luck,
Anne,
