Factors that Affect the Value of Your Personal Injury Case

The value of your personal injury case depends on several factors such as:

The Severity of Your Injuries:  The more severe your injuries are, the higher the value of your case will be. This includes both physical injuries like broken bones or spinal cord damage as well as emotional trauma like anxiety or depression.

The Extent of Liability:  If it is clear that the other party was entirely at fault for causing your injuries, then this increases the value of your claim.

Your Medical Expenses:  Medical expenses incurred due to treatment for your injuries can significantly impact how much compensation you receive from an insurance company or through a settlement agreement.

Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To

As a victim who has suffered from another person’s negligence or recklessness resulting in an accident leading to serious bodily harm; there are different types of damages you may recover including:

Economic Damages:  These include medical bills (past and future), lost wages (past and future), property damage costs related to repairing/replacing damaged items caused by accident/incident.

Non-economic damages:  These are damages that cannot be easily quantified or measured in dollars, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life.

How to Prove Your Personal Injury Case

To prove your personal injury case, you must demonstrate the following:

Duty:  The other party owed you a duty of care. For example, drivers have a responsibility to obey traffic laws and avoid causing accidents.

Breach:  The other party breached their duty by acting negligently or recklessly. For example, if a driver was texting while driving and caused an accident.

Causation:  Your injuries were directly caused by the other party's breach of duty. For instance, if you suffered whiplash due to being rear-ended by another vehicle.

Damages:  You incurred damages as a result of your injuries. This includes medical expenses and lost wages due to time off work for recovery from the accident/incident.
