Question:
How much is my bicycle accident claim worth?
Answer:
One of my clients called me the other day after a bicycle accident injury. He had gotten hit by a car on his way to school, and he asked me, “What is the value of my case?” I told him that some of the tools we use in valuing the case is the extent of your injuries and what type of injuries you have. Also, we look at the actual impact of the accident and what type of pain and suffering occurred as a result.
Another big factor we look at is how much your medical bills are – from the past to what you’re being treated for right now, and also your potential future medical bills. We get those numbers from the physician that you’re treating with. Once we have a better knowledge of all of those type of components, we’re able to put a value and, ultimately, talk with our client to agree on a number. We then negotiate off of that with the other sides to potentially settle your case or go to trial.
