So much is dependent on how your injury was caused, who caused it, and to what extent your injury has impaired your life.  Recently, one of our clients was offered $30,000 by the insurance company for her auto accident.  With assistance from Nolan & Shafer, she was awarded a jury verdict of $2.6 million.  It’s important to talk with an experienced attorney that can ask the right questions and guide you through the process of getting everything you are owed.  There is no standard answer and everything is dependent on the details on your case. At a minimum you should seek: medical expenses, wage loss, replacement services, attendant care services, mileage reimbursement, and in some cases quality of life damages if you have experienced serious impairment of body function, permanent and serious disfigurement, or you’re suing for the wrongful death of a loved one.
