What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
5 min read
There's no simple formula. The value of your case depends on the specifics of your injuries, your losses, and the facts.
Economic Damages
These are your measurable, out-of-pocket losses: medical bills, rehabilitation, prescription costs, property damage, and lost wages — both past and future. Documentation like bills, pay stubs, and tax records supports these amounts.
Non-Economic Damages
These compensate you for pain, suffering, emotional distress, scarring, disability, and loss of enjoyment of life. There's no fixed formula; these damages are negotiated based on the severity and permanence of your injuries.
Factors That Affect Value
Several things influence what your case is worth: the clarity of fault, the severity and duration of your injuries, whether you'll need future treatment, the impact on your ability to work, and the conduct of the defendant. Pre-existing conditions and comparative fault can reduce value.
Don't Trust Online Calculators
Every case is unique. A ballpark figure from a website cannot account for your medical records, your doctor's prognosis, or how a jury might view your case.
