The valuation of a personal injury case is complex. Factors that should be taken into consideration include:
Nature and severity of your injuries
Medical expenses
Cost of future medical care
Lost wages and other financial losses
Pain and suffering
Potential impairment or disability
Insurance companies rarely take all these damages into account. Rather, they may pressure you to settle your claim for far less than it is worth. Prior to agreeing to any settlement amount, you should always consult with a reliable attorney who is knowledgeable in this practice area.
