How much money is my personal injury case worth?

A:

This is one of the most often asked questions by people injured because of the fault of someone else, and one of the most difficult questions to answer. The value of your case, or how much money you will get, depends on different factors that are unique to each person's injury. Some factors determining case value may be more important in a certain type of injury than others. Some important factors that have an effect on what your case may be worth are:

What type of injury do you have?
Where did the injury happen?
Who was at fault?
What are your medical bills?
What type of treatment does your doctor recommend in the future?
How much is that future treatment going to cost?
How much time have you missed from work?
How much time are you going to miss work in the future
Are you permanently disabled?
How old are you?
In what county will the lawsuit be filed?
Were there other people injured in the same incident?

Each and every case is like no other case. The questions above, and many others that need answers, are not usually easy to answer over a quick phone call. Proper investigation, experience in handling cases like yours, and an understanding of the law are essential when choosing the right attorney for your case. Any attorney that says he/she can tell you how much money you will get the first time you talk is probably not an attorney you want to hire.
