Q: How much is my accident or injury case worth?

A: There is no sure-fire or exact formula or process by which a lawyer can predict with absolute certainty the amount of money a person will receive, especially where damages are awarded for ‘pain and suffering’ and ‘loss of enjoyment of life.’

However, my office will usually have a pretty good idea of what a reasonable settlement range might be after you receive medical attention and have stabilized. We rely on factors such as the of your injuries, whether or not they are permanent, the effect your injuries have had on your life, the amount and duration of your medical treatment, prior jury verdicts and/or arbitration awards received for similar injuries and my experience.

Ultimately, the value of any given case is determined by the jury’s verdict after a trial on the merits. I have written an entire chapter in my book “7 Deadly Mistakes That Can KILL Your Memphis Accident Case” on how to determine the value of a claim. To learn more Request my Free book today!
