How Much Is My Charlottesville Personal Injury Case Worth?

Here is the bottom line: no lawyer can tell you what your case is worth without an extensive knowledge of the situation including insurance policies, the seriousness of the injuries and witnesses. That being said, there are 5 factors that affect the value of your case.

1. Liability - Who is at fault? If you can prove that you are not at fault at all, the value of your case will be higher. In many cases, there could be multiple parties at fault which can complicate your case.

2. Damages - How seriously were you injured and how long did it take you to recover?

3. Venue - Where did the accident happen? Not every city or state is willing to award large settlements to injured victims.

4. You - The better and more cooperative you are throughout the process, as well as your performance as a witness in court, will affect the value of your case.

5. Your Attorney - Lawyers that are known to take cases to trial will get better settlements that lawyers who have a reputation for settling cases early on for smaller sums.

After examining all aspects of the case, an attorney might be able to give you a range of what the case could be worth but ultimately the jury will make that decision.
