How much is your personal injury claim worth?

There is no special formula concerning the value of a personal injury claim. However, some of the factors that are considered in determining the value of a personal injury claim are:

  • General Damages: The nature, extent and duration of your physical and emotional damages, including:
    • Physical pain and suffering;
    • Mental and emotional pain and suffering;
    • Permanent injuries;
    • Loss of enjoyment of life;
    • Loss of bodily function; and
    • Disability.
  • Medical Bills: You are entitled to be compensated for medical bills which were reasonable in amount and which were reasonably necessary. You are also entitled to a fair and reasonable sum for medical bills that are reasonably expected in the future.
  • Loss of Earning Capacity: You are entitled to compensation for any past and future loss of earning capacity that is reasonably related to injuries you sustained in the accident.
  • Liability: How strong your case is against the person who caused the accident. Insurance: The amount of available insurance to cover your damages.
  • Your Character: Whether you were truthful about the accident, the damages you suffered and your effort to resume your activities.
  • The Defendants Character: Whether he was truthful about what happened.
