How much does Infinity insurance pay for a whiplash injury after a car accident?

In most cases, they expect to receive compensation that fulfills all their needs, however, this not always the case. For this reason, many victims of whiplash injuries, ask our attorneys some questions regarding how much they can expect to receive from an Infinity Insurance settlement claim.

- How much does Infinity Insurance pay for a whiplash injury after a car accident?
- What is the average Infinity settlement offer for a whiplash injury?
- Is there some settlement calculator for an Infinity Insurance injury claim?
- How long does it take to receive the settlement amount offered by Infinity?
Whiplash injury Infinity settlement amounts differ depending on some factors that vary significantly between each case. One of the major roles that influence the potential amount that Infinity insurance may offer you are the damages that you experienced as a result of the accident. These damages can include property damages, any medical bills, and a loss of wages. For example, if your car accident only caused minor damages to your vehicle and you received a minor case of whiplash, you will receive a significantly lower settlement amount than an individual who totaled their car and received more severe injuries. Unfortunately, for this exact reason, it is difficult to determine an average settlement amount for a whiplash injury infinity settlement claim. This is also the reason why having a settlement calculator for an Infinity Insurance injury claim would be somewhat challenging as it would be far from accurate. While our attorneys can attempt to calculate an average, there is no guarantee that this average would apply to the potential value of your injury case. For this reason, if you wish to get a good idea of how much Infinity may offer for your whiplash injury, you should consult an accomplished attorney that handles negotiations with insurance claims adjusters.
In regards to how long it takes to receive a settlement amount from Infinity, there are state laws that dictate a specific period that insurance companies have to meet. In California, state law dictates that the insurance company must acknowledge all claims within 15 days of them being filed. Insurance companies are also required to accept or deny the claim within 40 days after receiving proof of the claim. If the insurance company accepts the claim, then the claim must be paid out within 30 days from the date the settlement was reached.
How much you receive for your settlement offer also depends on the kind of insurance plan you carry. Some insurance plans will only cover specific damages caused by specific accidents. A more standard auto insurance plan may only cover property damages and a portion of medical expenses, while a more comprehensive plan may cover all of the damages and legal expenses that a policyholder has to endure.
