I suffered a head and neck injury in a car accident. How can I tell how much my lawsuit is worth?
Many factors need to be considered to determine the value of your case. It is best to contact an experienced attorney right away so that you can have a good idea of what to expect in your geographical location, given the exact facts of your case. We have all seen reports on million-dollar awards for cases that just don’t seem that serious, and many times that's a result of the case being tried in a jurisdiction with traditionally generous juries. Unfortunately, some people whose lives are changed forever after a horrible accident hardly recover anything at all because of the conservative nature of their county’s jury pool.
What your lawsuit is worth depends on a lot of different things, including the seriousness of your injuries, whether or not you were at fault or partly at fault for the accident and in what state, even county or city, your claim for injury is located. Additional factors such as the cost of medical treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent injuries and likelihood of high future medical expenses can tend to make your claim worth more.
