What is the settlement value of my car accident case?

When you or a loved one is involved in a motor vehicle accident you cannot help but be curious about the value of your case.   Your lawyer and the insurance companies use many factors to determine the value of your case.  The seriousness of your injuries, the severity of the automobile accident and the insurance available to you are all considered to determine the settlement value of your case.

When you are injured in an automobile accident you should immediately seek medical attention.   You must be sure to follow all of your doctors’ recommendations. The more you treat the more increase your case value. The more serious your injury the higher the value of your case.    Surgery or recommendations for surgery increase your case value as well.

The amount of damage to your vehicle or the other vehicles involved in the accident also play a role in determining the value of your case.  For example a small fender bender makes it harder to prove that it was a serious accident. When your car is totaled out it is more likely that you had a really bad accident and this could substantially increase the value of your case.

The insurance coverage available to you is also very important in determining your case’s value.  Every state has a minimum coverage which their automobile should carry.   However, many people purchase more insurance coverage so they are prepared if an accident occurs.  People fail to realize that even though your case maybe worth a significant amount of money you are only entitled to the amount of coverage available. 

 Recovering after an injury can be a very stressful time, both physically & financially. You may be missing time from work but rent, mortgages and other bills don’t stop…  Bridgeway Legal Funding can get you the emergency cash you need now and you only have to pay it back if you win your case.
