How much might my personal injury case be worth?

INDEX...HOME... Good Sites

The potential value of your claim depends upon a number of factors. Among these factors are:

- the type and extent of the damages,

- the financial impact of those damages from medical bills, lost wages, or property damage,

- any pain and suffering you may have experienced, and

- any disabilities that may have resulted.

There can still be large variations in the value of your claim depending upon the assets-including insurance-that the defendant may possess, whether or not you are partially at fault in the case, and the time you are willing to invest in litigation versus your need for a quick settlement.

Placing a value on your case is as much art as science, so no lawyer will be able to predict an exact value beforehand. But a personal injury lawyer with experience can assess all of the factors in your case and give you a general picture of its strengths and weaknesses.
