Determining the value of a claim

There is no set formula for determining the amount of compensation a person is entitled to following injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision. Factors to consider include the nature of the injuries, the circumstances surrounding the collision, the seriousness of the injuries, the length of treatment, whether the injuries are temporary or permanent in nature, the amount of past and future medical expenses, and the impact of the collision on a person’s future earnings. The assistance of an experienced attorney is important to ensure a fair valuation of a personal injury claim.
