Courts determine personal injury settlements and judgments by combining the following:
Economic damages — physical damages to which the judge can attach a monetary value, such as the damage to your car and your medical bills
Non-economic damages — physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible damages
The non-economic damages, being non-quantifiable, will greatly alter the value of personal injury settlements.
Courts do not use a scientific formula to determine a personal injury settlement. However, insurance companies and claims adjusters may attempt to offer a reasonable settlement amount based on the particulars of your situation. They may use the following to determine how much to offer you for your injuries:
Age
Gender
Type and extent of injury
Nature of employment
Number of dependents
Our services
We help injury victims get the compensation they deserve if they have been harmed due to someone else’s negligent or careless actions. As personal injury lawyers, we can help if you were injured or lost a loved one due to any of the following:
Automobile, motorcycle, truck, or bus accidents
Premises liability or slip and fall accidents
Injuries from fires or explosions
Dangerous and defective products
Medical malpractice
These incidents frequently result in injuries, such as broken bones and permanent disfigurement. While we can easily determine how much your medical bills totaled, it is much harder to determine your suffering.
We have negotiated thousands of settlements on behalf of our clients during our many years as a personal injury lawyer. We offer free consultations, and estimate the value of personal injury settlements for our clients.
