How Will an Injury Claim Be Valued?
The value of an injury claim depends on a number of factors. The most important is the severity of the injury. An injury that heals completely and quickly will typically not be worth as much compensation as a serious or catastrophic injury. If the injury victim is temporarily or permanently disabled, more compensation will be necessary to cover the expenses. Injuries such as scars or other disfigurement may also be worth additional compensation.
In wrongful death cases, the needs of the victim's family must be considered. Compensation may be required for monthly bills, child care expenses, counseling and funeral costs.
Generally, the cost of medical bills, the amount of lost wages and the need for assistance with things such as child care or in-home nursing are the primary considerations in valuing a claim. In cases involving drunk driving, reckless driving or distracted driving, you may sue for additional punitive damages.
Keeping track of your expenses and taking photos after an accident can be very helpful. Photos that show your injuries may be necessary later, especially if you heal quickly.
