Calculating Settlement Amounts in Personal Injury Lawsuits in Washington

Settlement payouts for personal injury claims in Washington are largely driven by the strength of the plaintiff’s case and the likelihood of winning at trial. It all starts there. The ability to present compelling evidence that establishes the defendant’s liability and proves damages puts significant pressure on defendants. They are more likely to settle when faced with the risk of a high jury payout. The prospect of losing at trial and paying even more in compensation—including legal fees—motivates defendants to offer larger settlements when they believe the plaintiff will win at trial.
