Broken Arm (Humerus) Settlements: Averages, Compensation, Car Accidents and More

Humerus (Upper arm bone).
Humerus (Upper arm bone).

In this article, I’m going to talk about the average settlement for a broken arm.

That’s not it.

We’re going to do an in-depth review of settlements.

Specifically, we’ll look at a broken arm from a car accidents.  Then, we’ll also estimate compensation for a broken arm from other types of accidents.

In this article, when I use the word “arm”, I’m referring to the humerus.

First of all, you need negligence to have a claim for pain and suffering.  If someone else wasn’t negligent, the injured person can’t get money for pain and suffering.

I’m going to quickly talk about humerus fractures. Then, I discuss accident settlements for humerus fractures.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Insurance (Claims and Settlements)

Left driver side and front damage to car

When it comes to uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance claims, I’ve handled many of them.

After handling many uninsured and underinsured motorist claims, I quickly realized how to increase my chances on getting the best settlement possible.

In this article, I’m going to show you everything you need to know about uninsured and undersinsured motorist insurance claims and settlements.

Let’s start by looking at some frequently asked questions (FAQs). We’ll then look at some of my many uninsured and underinsured motorist settlements.

Did Lane Graves’ (Boy Killed by Alligator) Family Settle with Disney?

alligator
Not alligator from incident.

Lane Graves was an adorable two year old. On June 14, 2016, an alligator killed him at Disney.  Specifically, the attack took place at the Seven Seas Lagoon at Disney World’s Grand Floridian hotel in Orlando.

Many people think that the boy was eaten by the alligator. While he was not eaten, the alligator did bite and drown him.

This is a extremely sad event. My heart goes out to Lane and his family. Nevertheless, here I want to give my thoughts on how much Disney may have paid if there was a settlement.

The $10 Million Settlement Figure is My Best Guess

Here, I’ll explain why I think Disney may have paid around $10 million to the parents of the boy killed by the alligator.

This $10 million figure is my estimation.  I haven’t seen any document that says that millions, or any amount, was paid to the parents for their pain and suffering. It’s possible that they did not settle.

On the other hand, the parents opened up a probate estate for Lane Graves.  A probate estate is usually only opened up for a child if the parents make (or settle) a wrongful death claim for the child’s death.

That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney paid $10 million to the parents.  The full value of a wrongful case is much larger than most personal injury settlements. I will explain why in detail in a moment.

Also, court records mention that the boy’s sister received over $50,000 as a settlement not too long after the incident.  They don’t specifically say that Disney paid it.  I’ll explain later.

I’ll discuss who paid the sister’s settlement in detail.

When to Get an Attorney for a Car Accident (in 2021)

When should I hire an attorney after a car accident? If you are asking this question, you are not alone. Thousands of people ask it every month.

I’m going to tell you when to get a lawyer after a car accident. I will also reveal when you do not need one.

I’ll share with you the benefits of hiring a lawyer for your car accident claim. You will also see what to watch out for when hiring a lawyer. You’ll see what questions to ask the attorney for a car accident case.

The average cost of medical bills is increasing quickly each year. According to the IRC, claimed medical costs (and payments) relating to car accidents is growing faster than inflation.

Just look at this graph:

You don’t want to just hope that insurance company will pay for your bills. Only to find out that they later deny or delay your case. You don’t want bad credit if you can’t pay your medical bills.

Perhaps you are afraid that after paying attorney’s fees you are going to get a smaller payout. Don’t be. You’ll be happy that you hired a lawyer.

A study found that claimants with an attorney received an average total bodily injury payment of 3.5x more than those without a lawyer!

That is big news.

Source: 2014 Insurance research council study “Attorney Involvement In Auto Injury Claims”

Specifically, the study found that people with attorneys in car accidents got an average of bodily injury payment of $16,658.

Without an attorney, the average bodily injury payment was $4,699.

Take a look:

average total bodily injury payment in an auto accident with attorney was $16,658. without a lawyer it was $4,699

The $16,658 amount is before deduction of attorney’s fees and costs. However, there is another big benefit to hiring a lawyer that the study does not mention. I will talk about it in detail below.

You’ll also get to hear about 13 reasons to hire a lawyer if you are hurt in an accident caused by someone else.  However, I won’t stop there.

You’re going to see actual examples (using real settlements) of the benefits of hiring a lawyer.

Herniated Disc
