Practice Areas

A: There is a complex stew of factors that will determine what a case is worth. Among the things that are considered are the amount of the medical bills, and the reimbursement of medical bills paid by an health insurance carrier, or other source.

An injured person is also entitled to make a claim for any proven loss of income. When someone has a weekly paycheck, this is straight forward as long as the doctors involved confirm the necessity of being off from work. When someone is self-employed, the proof is more complicated and typically requires the review of tax returns for several years prior to injury.

A part of any settlement may include compensation for pain and?suffering that is supported by medical evidence.

If there was a death that resulted from the wreck the wage earnings potential of the victim is an important factor in determining case value. However, not everyone is a high income earner and their lives have just as much value to their families who can receive compensation for the loss of aid, comfort and society of the deceased family member.

Finally, there are factors that may not have contributed to the collision but do affect the value of the case. Someone who was drinking, or who has had a criminal history, is probably not going to receive the same settlement as someone who does not have that in his/her background.
