What is My Injury Case Worth?
Victims of serious accidents in Tallahassee, Florida may wonder whether they have a case, and what their claim might be worth. The value of your claim will depend on many factors, including the negligence of the other party, the value of your medical bills, the seriousness of your injury, and how much time you may have missed from work. Smith & Vanture is an injury law firm in Tallahassee, Florida that can review your medical costs, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and determine whether you might be entitled to seek damages for pain and suffering. Here are the various aspects that might impact the value of your injury claim:
- Victims are entitled to recover damages from negligent parties. In some accidents, the other party might be found 100% at fault. But sometimes, the other party may only be found partially at fault. In this case, victims are entitled to seek compensation for their losses proportional to the other party’s negligence. So, if the value of your claim is $100,000 and the other party was 75% negligent for your accident, you may be entitled to collect up to $75,000 in damages. Determining negligence can sometimes be complicated. Smith & Vanture are personal injury lawyers in Tallahassee, Florida that may be able to help you hold negligent parties accountable.
- Medical Bills and Rehabilitation Expenses. You may be able to collect damages for medical bills and rehabilitation expenses you have already incurred, but may be also able to collect damages for future medical expenses and rehabilitation costs you may face in the future. Smith & Vanture is an accident law firm in Tallahassee, Florida that can review your medical expenses, and speak to experts to estimate the value of future medical expenses and rehabilitation costs.
- Lost Wages. The value of your lost wages claim will depend on how long you will be out of work and how much you make at your job. If your injury will result in missed time from work in the future, or if you have become disabled as a result of an accident, you may be able to seek damages for future lost wages as well as damages for wages you’ve already lost. Smith & Vanture is a personal injury law firm in Tallahassee, Florida that can review your case. Our injury lawyers may be able to help you take the next steps.
- Pain and Suffering. While pain and suffering damages are among the more intangible claims that a person can make following a serious injury, these claims are important. Serious injuries can impact your ability to enjoy life, engage in former hobbies, care for children, and more. If you have become disabled as a result of an accident, or have had your life altered as a result of an injury, you may be able to collect pain and suffering damages. Pain and suffering is determined using special formulas that take into account your medical bills, the seriousness of your injury, and your losses.
