What is a case worth?
No honest lawyer can give a number on day one. Here’s what goes into one.
What you can recover
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Medical expenses | ER, surgery, therapy, future care |
| Lost income | Missed work, reduced earning ability |
| Pain and suffering | Physical pain, limits on daily life, emotional impact |
| Property | Vehicle repair or value, diminished value |
What can reduce it
- Your share of fault, if any.
- Gaps in treatment.
- Limited insurance coverage.
- New 2025 rules on medical bill evidence and seatbelt use.
Beware of online calculators. Real values depend on the evidence, the insurance available and where the case would be tried.
