If you get injured in an accident, you may not know exactly how much compensation to pursue. It can be difficult to figure out how much a personal injury claim is worth on your own. Our Queens premises liability attorneys can help you calculate what would be a fair compensation amount, and then we can help you negotiate an offer that helps make up for all of the damages caused by your accident.
What Can Make a Claim Worth More?
The severity of your injuries is one factor that is going to have a lot of influence on how much your personal injury claim is worth. Some questions that will be asked include:
- How long will it take to recover?
- Will you need continued treatments, like physical therapy?
- Will your injuries prevent you from working?
- Will the permanent effects of your injuries necessitate you moving or modifying your home?
If you’ll be able to recover quickly and return to a normal life, that claim is going to be worth less. If you’re going to end up dealing with permanent aftereffects of the accident and your injuries, your claim is going to be worth more.
How Can Someone Determine the Worth of Pain and Suffering Damages?
If you were just suing for lost wages, property damage, and medical expenses, you have bills, pay stubs, and evidence to point to that shows an exact value. It can be harder to value post-accident anxiety or trauma, but there are ways to do this. The insurance company can consider your recovery time and the effects that your injuries have had on your life or will continue to have. Then they can multiply your economic damages by a specific number and try to determine a fair offer for your pain and suffering.
Will I Get More Money If I Go to Court?
You could get more money by rejecting a settlement and going to court. You could also get less money. Of course, you could also lose your case and get nothing. We’re ready to help you build a case that can succeed in court, but you should be comfortable with all of the potential outcomes before trying your case in front of a judge and jury.
Can a Lawyer Tell Me How Much My Claim is Worth?
Your lawyer can help you calculate the worth of your claim, even if you’re suing for damages like pain and suffering. They can also do the negotiating for you and defend you from any accusations of wrongdoing. Essentially, we will do absolutely anything that we can to help you secure the most generous compensation offer possible.
