Every case is different. The amount of compensation that a car accident lawyer will be able to win for you is based on the severity of your injury, your current and future financial obligations, your financial hardships, and the estimated cost of long-term care. Personal hardships taken into account include:
Loss of future wages
Ongoing medical care and emotional therapy
Pain and suffering
Medical and ambulatory equipment
A study conducted for insurance companies by the Insurance Research Council indicated that personal injury victims with attorneys were awarded more than twice as much as those representing themselves.
