We Assist Personal Injury Clients in Pursuing the Compensation They Deserve
Serious accidents can profoundly impact a person's life in an instant. If someone else’s actions caused your injury, it’s only natural to expect their insurance company to help cover your damages and assist you in your recovery. Unfortunately, navigating this process can be overwhelming, and many people find it much more complicated than anticipated. Even with the proper legal representation by your side, holding those responsible accountable can still be challenging. At Whitehead Law, we understand what you’re going through. Our compassionate team of personal injury lawyers is here to support you and fight for your rights, ensuring your interests are protected and that insurers are held accountable for their actions.
How Do Insurance Companies Determine Payout for Pain and Suffering?
When dealing with an injury’s aftermath, many individuals wonder how insurance companies decide on compensation for pain and suffering. Understanding this process can be confusing and stressful, especially when navigating physical and emotional challenges. Each case is unique, and insurance companies consider various factors, such as the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, and treatment history. It's important to know that you're not alone in this journey, and being informed can help you advocate for the support you deserve.
Insurance companies consider various factors when determining payouts for pain and suffering:
- The severity of the injury
- What was the medical treatment that you received
- Recovery time length
- Long-term effects of the injury
Many small settlement payouts are below $15,000. Since most injury cases do not require the victim to undergo emergency surgery in a hospital, the payouts are typically not in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Insurance companies do not rely on pain and suffering calculators because these tools consider only a limited number of factors. Instead, they use their calculations, which think of many different aspects to determine the value of your case.
We Charge No Lawyer Fees Unless You Win.
Injury cases can be complex and demanding, but we are here to navigate the process. At-fault parties often go to great lengths to avoid paying what they owe, viewing settlements as excessive. At Whitehead Law, we are committed to precisely evaluating the damages you will face and ensuring that the responsible party is held fully accountable for their obligations. Trust us to fight for your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.
What Steps Should I Take If I Was Injured in an Accident?

-
Take photos if possible
-
Gather witness statements and police reports
-
Get the medical attention you need from a doctor you trust
-
Speak with a qualified Delaware personal injury lawyer right away
