How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s negligence, obtaining just compensation will play a key role in your ability to regain your health and well-being, which makes knowing the value of your claim important. The fact is, however, that your claim will be utterly unique to the specific situation at hand, which will directly affect your case’s worth. If this is the difficult situation you find yourself in, don’t wait to discuss your claim with an experienced West Palm Beach personal injury attorney.

The Elements of Your Personal Injury Claim

To bring a successful personal injury claim in which you’re fully compensated for your covered losses, each of the following elements must be present:

• The other party owed you a duty of care, which means they had a responsibility regarding your safety. For example, every motorist on the road owes everyone else on it a significant duty of care.
• The other party breached their responsibility to your safety, such as if a distracted driver struck you while you were crossing the street at a pedestrian light.
• The other party’s negligence was the direct cause of the accident that left you injured, and you suffered legal damages as a result.

Your Legal Damages

The value of your personal injury claim reflects the legal damages you experienced, and these address your physical, financial, and emotional losses.

Medical Bills

The medical bills you face in the aftermath of an accident that supports a personal injury claim can be immense, and they may be ongoing. It’s important to accurately assess the full scope of your injuries and the likelihood that you will face future medical needs. 

Lost Income

The more serious your injuries are, the more likely it is that your ability to earn will be negatively affected. If your ability to continue advancing your career and developing your earning potential is thwarted, the financial impact will be even more serious. It should also be noted that job-related damages can have emotional consequences due to the significance many of us associate with our careers.

Physical and Emotional Pain and Suffering

While mounting medical bills and lost income can add up to steep losses, the physical and emotional pain and suffering you endure can outpace them. Further, the psychological turmoil you experience can amplify the negative effects of your other damages.

Your seasoned personal injury lawyer will leave no stone unturned in their focused efforts to ensure that the full range of your losses is well represented in your claim, which is the surest means of assigning an accurate number to its worth.
