The impact of the injury on your life: The larger the impact on your daily life, the higher the payout.
The extent of medical treatment needed: Payouts will be higher if you need more medical treatment for the underlying condition that led to the hysterectomy and the hysterectomy itself.
The age of the plaintiff at the time of hysterectomy: The younger the plaintiff, the higher the payout. A hysterectomy can have many negative consequences for young women, such as robbing them of the ability to have children, early menopause, and associated symptoms such as mood changes, vaginal dryness, and hot flashes.
Your underlying condition that led to the hysterectomy: The evidence connecting chemical hair relaxer use and uterine cancer is much stronger than that between hair relaxers and fibroids. As a result, lawsuits involving uterine cancer have higher potential settlement values.
