Ive been injured in an accident. How much my claim is worth?
One of the first things that many accident victims ask their lawyers is how much the claim may be worth. The honest answer at that time is that it is too early to tell. Every accident and every injury has its own individual characteristics that will affect the ultimate value of the claim. Dont assume that because your uncle or neighbor was in an accident once and received a certain settlement that your case should be similar. Each case is different. The primary factors involved in determining the value of a claim are the strength of the liability case and the degree to which the injuries have impacted upon your life. In addition there are a multitude of subtle factors that may make a claim more valuable or less valuable. An experienced attorney knows that he can place a value on a claim only after he has gathered all of the important information about a case.
