When an injured individual comes to auto insurance office for a free consultation, they inevitable ask one of the personal injury attorneys to estimate the amount of the personal injury settlement they can expect. Unfortunately, no simple formula exists to find out how much a personal injury or wrongful death claim is worth. A great variety of factors plays into the ultimate personal injury settlement figure. Some factors will be specifically related to the facts of your case; other factors will depend on the experience and reputation of your personal injury lawyer. Types of personal injury cases can range from auto accidents to nursing home neglect and injury.

Without an attorney, the insurance company will try to convince you that your claim isn't worth much. It is in the insurance company's best interest to settle your personal injury claim amount as cheaply as possible. Because they take there personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis (your attorney fees are a percentage of whatever we recover for you), they are motivated to get you the largest personal injury settlement amount possible. Even after the attorney fees have been paid, an individual who is represented by an attorney will recover more in damages than an individual who tried to do it alone.

They have been handling personal injury and wrongful death settlements for many years and have represented nearly one thousand personal injury clients and their families. Once they gather medical and economic information, they can make a decent estimate of what a jury would award you. The attorneys then use the evidence and expert witness opinions we have gathered to convince an insurance adjuster that you have a worthy case and that a jury would award you just damages to compensate you for your injuries. Their reputation for excellence precedes us in the negotiation process. The insurance adjuster knows that attorneys have the skills and resources to succeed at trial. Negotiation skills when matched with the threat of trial can effectively maximize an auto accident settlement amount.

If you have been involved in a auto accident, your auto accident settlement amounts can depend upon many factors such as: Severity of the injury or whether the injury resulted in a change of appearance, such as facial scarring or disfigurement; Severity of the impact of the truck accident; Length of treatment for the injury; Whether future surgery is recommended; Amount of permanent tissue or nerve damage that resulted; How much work was missed and how much pay was lost; How the injury affected the client's lifestyle; What kind of career the client had, if it was permanently lost due to the injuries; Whether the injured individual's actions contributed to his or her injuries; The amount of the insurance policy.
