The value of your settlement will depend on a number of factors, including the severity and nature of your injury, the amount of medical bills incurred, the length of recovery time required, and any lost wages resulting from the accident. In addition to these economic damages, you may also be eligible for compensation for pain and suffering or emotional distress as well as punitive damages in some cases. These are all factors that personal injury attorneys use to set a reasonable expectation for the settlement value of your case that an online calculator is simply unable to do.
