How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

July 8, 2019 by Michael Waks

Every personal injury case is different. The potential value of your claim depends on a multitude of factors including:

The severity and permanence of your injuries;
Your pre-injury income and the amount of time you were put out of work due to your injuries;
The cost of repairing or replacing any property damaged in the accident;
The available insurance coverage;
Whether any damages caps apply to your case;
Whether you were partially liable for the accident; and
Whether the defendant acted with fraud, oppression, or malice, in which case punitive damages may be available.
