Kansas City Auto Accident Attorney
What is My Auto Accident Case Worth?
When someone is involved in an auto accident, there can be numerous factors that affect the outcome of the case. To determine what a case is worth depends on many issues that need to be carefully reviewed by our office, which can be done by our auto accident attorney during your first free initial consultation. Some of the factors that affect the value of your claim include:
- Extent of injuries
- Degree of medical treatment
- Property damage costs
- Rental vehicle costs
- Lost earnings
- Severity of the accident
- Degree of negligence
There is truly no set formula to determine the value of any given case. Obviously the more severe your injuries and the treatment you may require, the larger the amount of compensation that we, as your attorneys, would negotiate for. When an accident occurs with a high degree of negligence, such as a drunk driver striking a pedestrian, if total disregard for the safety of a human being can be shown to a jury, a large punitive damages amount may be awarded. This is not to say that this would occur in every case, but given a strong case, our firm will fight for the best possible outcome for your case.
