Q. How much is my Kentucky personal injury case worth?
A. The value of a case depends on many items including the nature and extent of injury, the amount of medical bills, the amount of lost wages, the extend to which the injured person has suffered a permanent injury, the amount of future care that is necessary, etc. Additionally, the value of a case for settlement purposes depends upon an agreement being reached between the responsible party or his or her insurance carrier and the injured person. If both agree to settle, that sets the value of the case. If an agreement cannot be reached and the case has to be litigated and tried before a jury, the jury sets the value of a case. A Kentucky lawyer handling personal injury cases can assist you in assessing the value of your case based upon the factors listed above and with the assistance of past cases that have settled and past cases that have received a jury verdict.
