Average Payout for Brain Bleed Claims and Settlement Case Result Examples

$1.6 Million for a Brain Bleed Settlement Amount

Our client was riding in the back seat of a car when the driver made an illegal left turn, cutting off an oncoming vehicle. This caused a serious head-on collision.

Rushed to the hospital by helicopter, our client suffered multiple injuries, including a broken pelvis, broken leg, neck fracture, neck pain, and a closed head injury with a brain bleed. Surgeries were needed to repair the pelvis and leg, and our client underwent rehabilitation to recover from the brain injury.

We presented a demand to the defendant’s insurance company, but their initial offer was only $300,000. This offer was far too low and was rejected. After rejecting that offer, we filed suit and conducted depositions of the driver, witnesses, and our client’s treating doctors. The defendant’s doctors confirmed that our client’s brain injury was permanent.

The insurance company then increased its offers to $500,000 and later $750,000 at mediation, but both were rejected. Eventually, closer to trial, the case settled for $1.6 million, reflecting the severity of the brain bleed and other injuries.

$50,000 Recovered in a Brain Bleed Settlement Payout

Our client’s 15-year-old son was skateboarding across 66th Street in Pinellas Park, Florida, when he was struck by a car. Although he was crossing outside a crosswalk and found to be partially at fault, the accident left him with serious injuries, including a badly broken leg, multiple lacerations, road rash, and a brain bleed. He required emergency surgery for his leg and extensive medical care for his other injuries.

Even though our client’s son was partly at fault, the driver should have had time to avoid the accident. Florida’s comparative fault law allowed us to pursue compensation, and the defendant’s insurance company quickly agreed to pay their $50,000 policy limits because of the severity of the injuries.

Our client’s health insurer had already covered over $80,000 in medical bills and was entitled to a lien on the settlement. Through negotiation, we were able to reduce the lien by approximately 80%, ensuring our client’s son received a fair recovery despite the partial fault ruling.

This case illustrates how brain bleed settlement amounts can be significant even when the injured person shares some responsibility, though recent changes to Florida law make recovery more difficult if a person is over 50% at fault.
