What Is My Car Accident Case Worth?

Valuing Car Accident Cases in California

If you were injured in a car accident and are considering filing a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver, you might be wondering how much your case is worth. You have likely incurred a lot of medical expenses and you may even have missed work (and thus lost wages) due to your injuries. Why should you be left footing the bill for someone else’s negligence? As far as The May Firm is concerned, you shouldn’t be. After all, YOU are the victim!

At the end of the day, it’s impossible to know for sure what the value of your case is until it settles or a judge or jury awards damages after trial. The May Firm will go into negotiation with a dollar amount in mind but as discussions get going, this figure can easily increase or decrease. Factors that might impact the value of your case include, but aren’t limited to:

• Whether you received medical care promptly after the accident
• Whether you complied with your treatment regimen
• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Potential future lost wages (if your injury will prevent you from working)
• Your level of fault for the accident and/or the severity of your injuries
• Insurance policy limits
• The identity of the at-fault party (private citizen vs. government employee, for example)
• The quantity and strength of the evidence that each side provides

The May Firm’s clients have recovered six and seven figure settlements after being injured in a car accident. However, the value of a case is truly determined on a case-by-case basis. After The May Firm has the opportunity to review your case,we are happy to give you an idea of how much we feel that your case is worth. The estimate we can provide will be just a rough estimate. Generally, the more severe your injuries, the larger your recovery.
