Pedestrian Accident Case Value

Answer:

One of the most common questions I get from clients is, “What’s my case worth?”

It’s a really important question. It’s a question that the insurance companies want you to think is easy so that you’ll take that first check from them within days of the crash. The reality is however, that the value of full justice for your auto pedestrian case is complicated and has a lot of different factors.

There are just too many things that go into it to give you a clear answer right away, but your attorney can help you analyze each one of these. For example, fault. Is it clear or is it shared? How bad are the injuries? What part of your body was injured? How extensive was the treatment? Were there any medical procedures involved? How did you heal up? How was your recovery? What was your disability time? Are your injuries permanent or are they gone completely? What limitations do you have going forward? What are the insurance limits of the car that hit you? Are there any other negligent parties that could be brought in?
These are just a few examples of the many factors that must be considered.

Each case has its own answer to all these questions. That’s why your attorney should be able to talk to you about each factor, about their experience, and how they’ve been able to handle those factors in the past.
