What is the average car accident settlement?
Determining the average car accident settlement can be challenging because each case is unique, and settlements vary widely based on numerous factors. Nationwide, victims typically receive settlements ranging between $15,000 and $35,000, but depending on the specifics of your accident, your case may be worth much more. Some car accident cases can settle for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
Factors influencing car accident settlements include:

- Pain and suffering
- Fault and liability
Again, the best way to figure out how much your potential claim might be worth is to consult with an experienced car accident lawyer as soon as possible. An attorney can be a huge help in figuring out your settlement by looking at all the important details.
They’ll gather evidence, consult experts, and use their experience with similar cases to estimate a fair amount. Plus, a lawyer will fight for the compensation you deserve. They can negotiate with insurance companies and, if needed, take your case to court to get the best possible outcome.
Wichita Falls crash hotspots and causes
Accidents can happen anywhere, but they’re more common in some places than others. Crash hotspots include:
- I-44 (Henry S. Grace Freeway), Wichita Falls

Some of the most frequent contributing factors to serious accidents in Wichita Falls and the surrounding area are speeding and alcohol, according to federal data.
The Texas side of the Wichita Falls and Lawton area experiences many accidents where speed is a major factor. Speeding can take an accident from bad to deadly. The faster a vehicle is moving the more deadly it becomes.
Texas has some of the most lenient speeding laws in the U.S., according to some studies. The state allows for up to 75 mph travel on many roadways and legislation was passed to remove all automated red-light cameras that ticket speeding motorists. Texas is also quicker than most states to give full driver’s licenses to novice and 16-year-old drivers. Young and inexperienced drivers are more likely to speed than those with more experience.
Meanwhile, alcohol exacerbates bad driving habits, including speeding, while also reducing a driver’s motor skills, reaction time, focus, and balance.
Whatever the case, it is important that you discuss your crash with an experienced Wichita Falls car accident attorney that is on your side.
Attorneys Ben Hoover and Grant Rogers have decades of combined experience practicing law in Wichita Falls. We conduct thorough investigations that reveal critical evidence on which to build strong cases the insurance companies cannot ignore.
How fault is determined after a car accident
Figuring out who’s at fault in a car accident can be complex. It can involve a complete investigation, including examining traffic laws, police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstruction.
Texas is an at-fault state which means the person found responsible for the accident is typically liable for the damages. Although Texas follows this fault system, who is responsible for the accident is not always straightforward.
A lawyer can be crucial in determining fault. They can gather all the necessary evidence, talk to witnesses, and bring in experts to support your case. By building a strong case, a lawyer can help prove who was at fault and ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
Don’t miss legal deadlines
When it comes to car accident claims, it's crucial not to miss any legal deadlines, especially the statute of limitations and the amount of time you have to take legal action. In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the accident. This means you have a limited time to take legal action, and if you miss this deadline, you could lose your right to seek compensation.
A lawyer can ensure you don’t miss any critical deadlines by keeping track of important dates and filing all necessary paperwork within the required timeframes. They handle the preparation and submission of legal documents, ensuring compliance with court requirements. Additionally, a lawyer will maintain momentum on your case, preventing delays that could jeopardize your claim.
