How much is my case worth?

ANSWER: That depends entirely on the facts--both liability (fault) and injuries (damages). But ultimately your case is worth exactly as much as the jury says it is worth, no more and no less. Settlements occur when the parties' opinions about the potential jury verdict are close enough that they realize that trial would be a waste of time, effort and money for all concerned. The only way to evaluate a case to determine what it may be worth is to fully investigate the cause, develop the damages, research the law and evaluate a number of other factors from the parties' background and the attorneys' experience to the county in which the case will be filed and the judge who will try it. While there are broad ranges of values depending upon the clarity of liability and the nature and extent of the damages, there are no books, databases or other tools that place a specific value on each case. The variables are too many and too complex. Rather, cases are evaluated and valued by your attorney after they have collected all the necessary information and filtered it through their years of experience.
