What's my Case Worth?

What is My Case Worth?

Every case is unique and every case has it's own value.  There are some "rules of thumb" as to value of most cases, which can be used to give a "ballpark" value

  • 3 times the medical bills.  This used to be a good indicator, but currently most cases are lucky to get 2 times the medical bills, in a small rear-ender.
  • The more damage to your vehicle, usually equates with more value in your case.  The logic is that if you took a "Big Hit", then you probably got pretty hurt in the process.
  • A broken arm or leg, or a knee that needs surgery, is worth way more than 3 times your medical bills.  The logic here, is that these types of injuries cause much more trauma, than a "soft tissue" injury, and you should be compensated accordingly.
  • Being disabled for a long period of time, allows you to claim lost earnings.  The more work you miss, due to your injuries, the greater the value of your lost earnings claim.
  • A scar is much more significant on a young Woman, than an older Man.  As such, the young Woman, would be entitled to greater compensation.
To get a "ball Park" value on your particular case, come in for a Free Evaluation and Consultation, and we will give you an estimated value.  One thing you have to keep in mind, is that it is not really fair to evaluate your case, until you know how long you will be treating with a Doctor.  For example, while most rear-end auto accidents, with moderate damage to the vehicle, heal up in 2 to 4 months, some individuals suffer more serious injuries, such as herniated disc, or fractured vertebrae.   You need to know what you are facing to properly evaluate your case, and the best way to know that, is to have completed your treatment, when you are trying to evaluate your case.

Call our Office for a FREE consultation or send us a request for a written case evaluation and we will give you a Legal Review Opinion as to your cases value.  This will be based on 30 plus years of experience in the field of Personal Injury.
