As an experienced Rochester Personal Injury Attorney, when someone comes into our office they want to know what their case is worth and how are they going to be compensated. What I tell them is that there are three factors which really go into determining what the value of their case is. The first is how the accident happened and whether or not the other person is entirely at fault, or whether there’s some fault on both people that were involved in the accident.
The second thing that we have to look at is what is the nature and extent of the injuries, and how has this affected your life. Sometimes you can’t make this determination right away because injuries don’t always heal that quickly and it takes some time to make that determination. The final factor is what is the available insurance. Very often we have to look to the insurance company to see what the insurance is for that particular claim.
Those three factors in combination, the amount of insurance coverage and the availability of insurance coverage, the nature and the extent of your injuries, and the facts and circumstances surrounding how the accident happened. Those are the three factors that go into determining, here in Rochester, what your case is worth.
