How Much is Your Personal Injury Claim Worth?

One of the most commonly asked questions people have when they are filing personal injury claims is "How much is my claim worth?"  The truth of the matter is, every case is unique, so the amount each claim is worth will vary.  For example, there isn't a set value assigned to trucking accident cases.  Instead, the amount cases are worth will depend upon the factors involved.

When evaluating the value of a claim, the following will be considered:

§  the plaintiff's medical costs and related expenses

§  the amount of income that was lost by the plaintiff as a result of the accident (i.e. time taken off of work and time spent getting medical treatment)

§  the extent, nature and severity of the plaintiff's injuries and ongoing medical demands

§  the value of property that was damaged during the accident

§  the extent of the plaintiff's pain and suffering

As you can see, figuring out the value of a claim is not an exact science and will largely depend upon the factors surrounding the case.  For this reason, anytime people have questions about what their personal injury cases may be worth, they should consult with a Raleigh personal injury lawyer.  To speak with an attorney today, contact the Whitley Law Firm.
