Many factors affect the value of a personal injury claim following a car accident. One of those is whether your injuries are “hard” injuries or “soft” injuries.
A long-term recovery period can affect the value of your car accident claim, as can permanent injuries.
If your injuries resulted in physical or emotional distress, or caused daily life interruptions, you are likely to be awarded higher damages.
If you were not at fault for the accident, your compensation will be higher.
