What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

The truth is, there is no simple answer for how much your personal injury case is worth.

When it comes to valuing your case, here’s what you need to know:

Every person is unique, and so is every personal injury case, which is why values depend on the person and the nature of their injuries and losses

You can’t determine the value of your case using a calculator on a legal website
Numerous factors contribute to the value of your case, so it’s not something that can be determined over a phone call or during the initial case consultation
You will recover more money working with an experienced Houston personal injury attorney than you will trying to handle your case on your own

At Zehl & Associates, we want you to have all the facts, so you can decide what’s best for you and your family. We understand the impact that a catastrophic accident and personal injury has on your life, as well as the fear and apprehension that come along with not knowing where you can turn or who you can trust.

Our job is to take the burden off you and your family and recover the maximum compensation possible for you.

How We Determine Your Case’s Value

Because every case is unique, the amount of compensation you can recover depends on a variety of factors unique to your accident and injuries.

Some of these factors include:

The nature and severity of your injuries
The amount of lost wages and lost future earning capacity
Past, present, and future medical costs
Who is at fault for your injuries

The amount of insurance coverage available to cover your losses
Your lawyer’s reputation for taking cases to trial and winning

Make sure you keep records of medical bills, police reports, witness statements, and any relevant documents. Collecting and preserving evidence is critical to proving your case. When we are hired, we put together a team of engineers, investigators, and other experts to quickly gather the evidence we need to win your case and get you the full compensation you deserve.

What Kind of Compensation Can I Recover?

There are generally three types of compensation, or “damages,” that you may be entitled to.

Economic Damages

Economic damages compensate for specific financial costs associated with the accident. These damages include medical bills, lost income or earning capacity, property loss, future healthcare costs, or burial costs in the event of a wrongful death.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages compensate for the “human” or personal losses. They can’t be added up on a calculator or determined by looking in a book, because they’re based on the effect that the accident has had on you and your life. That’s one of the main reasons it can be so difficult to predict how much a claim is worth. General damages include emotional distress, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and physical impairment and disfigurement.

Punitive Damages

In cases involving reckless conduct or gross negligence, punitive damages are awarded to punish a defendant. Punitive damages are typically only awarded when there is “clear and convincing” evidence that the defendant acted with malice, wantonness, and a total indifference to the consequences of their actions.
