What is my car accident case worth? Here's the truth...

It's a very common and understandable question. Some attorneys will tell clients an actual figure, while others will give a ratio like twice or three times medical expenses.

Here's the simple truth:  Your injury case is as worth as much as the jury on the day of your trial might award you under the facts and circumstances of your case.  The other truth is there are too many variables to cover in one blog post, much less an initial consultation. Here are just a few common variables: venue (jury pool), specific injuries, how the client presents, severity of the crash, trial judge (pretrial  and trial rulings), pre-existing injury circumstances, how the defendant presents, ability of insurance defense lawyer, ability of plaintiff's lawyer, expert proof quality and presentation, medical treatment (past and future), medical expenses (past and future), pain and suffering (past and future), loss of enjoyment of life (past and future).  
​
The point here is that if any attorney tells you what your case is worth on an initial consultation without knowing your medical expenses, what you've had to go through day in and day out, what you will go through in the future (if you are done treating), then you need to get another opinion. If an attorney ever guarantees you a monetary recovery, you need to run in another direction.
