The severity and permanency of any injuries, together with the costs of medical treatment, and wage and income loss all enter into our assessment of the value of your case. At the appropriate time, we will discuss with you our own judgment as to the value of your case. Often, we will express the value in terms of a probability of winning or losing, along with a probability or range of values. Quite frankly, it is impossible to predict a specific outcome in any case. We will appreciate your thoughts on the value of your case as two-way communication is important to us in this regard.
Most cases settle.
Insurance companies conduct investigations just as we do. Under the rules of discovery following the filing of a lawsuit, we can learn as much about the other side's case as they can about ours. By virtue of this exchange of information, the lawyers from both sides will have a very accurate prediction of what the evidence will be in most cases. Insurance companies will compare your case to similar cases in our vicinity and nationwide. The lines of communication between you and our office for negotiated settlements always will remain open.
