What is the Average Settlement for a Car Accident While Pregnant?

When we help you determine your case’s value, we won’t assess your case based on a general settlement average—instead, we will consider specific details of your car accident case and how they affected your pregnancy, including:

• Your necessary medical care, both immediately after the accident and what you may require in the future
• The cost of your medical care
• How your injuries and losses have affected your life
• Whether or not you lost the fetus as a result of the accident

If a car accident has severely affected your well-being, health, and pregnancy, we will fight to not only recover your medical costs but all possible damages that reflect your losses.

Pregnancy Complications After a Car Accident and Your Settlement Value

A car accident that injures a pregnant woman could lead to a number of health complications for the mother and child.

The Mayo Clinic notes that car accidents can be devastating during pregnancy because:

• A woman may try to shift her body suddenly to avoid direct impact to her abdomen, causing further injury.
• The forces involved in an accident can cause trauma to the placenta—and therefore, trauma to the fetus.
• Trauma can also lead to uterine contractions and vaginal bleeding, among other complications.

If you have high medical costs and other losses related to your pregnancy after a car accident, the above factors could be reflected in your settlement amount.

Damages You Could Seek

If someone else’s negligence led to your accident, injuries, and health complications, you could seek compensation for damages such as:

• Past and future medical bills. This involves any necessary care, including diagnostic testing, ER visits, doctors’ visits, surgeries, physical therapy, and more.
• Past and future pain and suffering and mental anguish. This reflects your emotional challenges (such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression) caused by the collision.
• Past lost wages and future loss of earning capacity. This includes any harm to your earning power and income.

We will collect evidence to prove the extent of your injuries, your suffering, and any impact on your financial standing. If an insurance company won’t give the amount of compensation we’re asking for, we can take your case to court.

If You Lose a Child Because of a Car Accident

It is possible in some cases to argue for additional forms of compensation if you lost the baby as a result of the car accident. We may be able to consider:

• How the loss of the pregnancy left you facing depression and other emotional trauma
• The medical costs associated with your miscarriage or stillbirth
• Whether you qualify to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of your late child

We will work to fight for the best possible compensation in your case. If your accident caused you pain and suffering (past and future) or the loss of a child, we will work hard to get what you deserve.

How We will Fight for Your Rights

We can handle every aspect of your case for you, from the paperwork that needs to be filed to negotiations.

You don’t have to worry about these details, as we will do them all for you:

• We will collect evidence to prove your losses. One important way to maximize your settlement value is to have strong evidence, and we will gather expert testimony, medical records, accident reports, and other documentation to prove your case’s value.
• We will handle all communications and negotiations with insurers for you. The last thing you may want to do is talk to insurance adjusters and other lawyers while coping with an accident, so let us take over this task.
• We will take your case to court, if necessary. We can prepare your case for trial and litigate for you if we can’t get a fair settlement through negotiations.
