This is a popular question that many personal injury claimants ask their attorneys. The simple answer is: it depends. The value of your personal injury claim depends on a variety of factors. In order to calculate these factors in a way that is most beneficial to your case, it is in your best interest to consult an experienced personal injury attorney, one with great prior results.
The Important Factors Used To Value Personal Injury Claims
The value of your personal injury claim depends on the extent of your injuries and how it has impacted your life. While you may be the best person to value your claim, it is ultimately the jury or an insurance company or your lawyer that determines how much your claim is worth. Below are some important factors the insurance adjuster may consider when determining the value of your claim:
- The fault of the person or company that you are suing
- The extent of your past and present medical bills and injuries
- The extent of your future medical bills
- Loss of wages
- Pain and suffering and permanency of your injuries
- How the injuries have affected your daily life
- Any other expenses you may have incurred as a result of the accident
The Importance of Hiring the Right Attorney
In order to get the insurance company to pay the real value of your personal injury claim, you need the assistance of an experienced and aggressive attorney who can present your claim in an organized and persuasive manner your attorney should be able to show you great past results.
If the insurance company understands your claim and is convinced that a jury will give you more money for your claim, it is more likely to make an offer that it believes you are more likely to accept. As such, it is imperative that you immediately contact the right attorney to handle your claim.
