How much compensation you can receive for nerve damage relies on your unique situation, such as:
- Your age
- The type of accident that caused the injury
- How serious the injury is
- How expensive your resulting medical bills are
- How your nerve damage has impacted your overall quality of life
- How much insurance coverage is available to you
There is no maximum amount of compensation you can recover for damages in most personal injury cases. However, if you want to pursue recovery for damages against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, PA CSA §8528 enforces a $250,000 limit per incident.
Types of Damages You Can Recover for Nerve Damage
Because there is no average settlement amount, which damages and how much you can recover depend on your case. However, there are two main types of damages that nerve damage victims can recover after an accident.
Pursuing Economic Damages
These losses cover your financial damages, so calculating them can be more straightforward. They include:
- Emergency transportation
- X-rays, blood tests, and other diagnostic assessments
- Medication
- Assistive medical devices
- Surgeries
- Hospital stays
- Physical and/or chiropractic therapy
- Follow-up doctor’s appointments
- Lost wages
- Future lost earning capacity
- In-home care expenses
Pursuing Non-Economic Damages
Contrary to economic damages, non-economic damages refer to your emotional and physical hardships that came with your nerve damage. Examples might be:
- Pain and suffering
- Inconvenience
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disability – contact one of our Social Security Disability lawyers today to gain a better understanding
- Disfigurement
Both of these lists are not exhaustive, but they can give you an idea of what you can recover. If you were injured in a car accident, you might have to meet certain qualifications to pursue non-economic damages.
You can rely on your lawyer to assess and quantify all of your damages—you might even be entitled to pursue some that you don’t know about yet.

After your accident, we advise seeking medical attention right away. Not only will getting an early diagnosis prevent the injury from getting worse, but proof of a doctor’s visit will also serve as a great form of evidence when building your case.
If you have not yet gone to a doctor but suspect you have some kind of nerve damage, the Mayo Clinic advises to watch out for these symptoms:
- Sharp, burning pain
- Numbness in hands and feet
- Weak muscles
- Weak coordination
- Falling
- Sensitivity to touch
- Dizziness
- Change in your blood pressure
- Paralysis
Nerve damage can be treatable, but serious cases might entail a long road to recovery.
We can address all the legal hurdles that may be keeping you from getting a fair settlement.
