How Much Is My Mesa Personal Injury Claim Worth?

Home / Personal Injury / How Much Is My Mesa Personal Injury Claim Worth?

One of the most common questions injury victims in Mesa, Arizona, have is, “How much is my case worth?” Unfortunately, since the value of injury cases can vary from thousands to millions of dollars, we can’t say without knowing the details of your case. However, we can explain the factors that affect a case’s value and how an attorney can help maximize your compensation.

 

Factors Impacting Case Worth

Some of the most significant factors that will contribute to your case’s worth are:

 

  • Injury Severity – Your injuries are the biggest factor contributing to your case’s value, with more severe and objective injuries typically requiring more costly medical treatment and impacting your daily life more significantly.
  • Long-Term Treatment – Injuries that require long-term care can increase the value of your case.
  • Disability – If your injuries leave you disabled and impact your ability to work, you may receive more compensation for lost wages or disability accommodations.
  • Pain and Suffering – Compensation for pain and suffering is very case specific. Your life can be negatively impact by an accident in so many different ways. There is no specific mathematic equation used to calculate pain and suffering. However, your attorney can help identify and highlight how your life has been changed as a result of the injuries you sustained in your accident.
  • Insurance Limits – The compensation you receive could be capped by the insurance limits of the policy you’re filing a claim against, whether it’s your own or that of the at-fault party.

 

How an Attorney Can Help Maximize Your Compensation

Attorneys can help maximize your compensation in the following ways:

 

  • Reducing Liability – The lesser your degree of fault for the accident is, the more compensation you can recover under Arizona’s pure comparative negligence
  • Identifying Liable Parties – By identifying additional liable parties, your attorney can help you bypass insurance limits that could cap your recovery.
  • Negotiating with Insurance Companies – Your attorney can use their experience to negotiate for a fair settlement with the insurance companies and make sure they don’t give you a lowball offer.
