How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

Economic damages Medical bills (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity, property damage.

Non-economic damages Pain, suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life.

The multiplier method A common starting point is multiplying medical specials by a factor (typically 1.5 to 5) based on injury severity.

What drives value up - Permanent injury or scarring - Surgery - Clear liability - High insurance limits - Strong economic damages

Why honest lawyers don't promise numbers Until treatment is complete and liability is investigated, any number is a guess. Beware of attorneys who promise specific dollar figures upfront.
