We usually begin our valuation process by asking what injuries you suffered in the accident. Then, we research the average compensation amount for comparable injuries. Most attorneys will add up costs from the following to determine a rough estimate for your case: Current, past, and future medical expenses resulting from the accident, Current, past, and future lost wages resulting from the accident, Loss of earning capacity, Loss of consortium or loss of enjoyment, Pain and suffering, Mental and emotional anguish, and Wrongful death expenses, such as funeral and burial costs.
