Many people think that the top personal injury car accident attorneys in the State of Arizona refuse to answer the simple question of how much a personal injury case is worth. The reality is, it’s just not something that can be easily answered. The value of a personal injury case ultimately depends on what a jury might do with a case. Now, most cases never actually go to a jury trial. Most people who are seriously injured in a car accident will make an insurance claim and get the case settled long before they ever go in front of a trial. But the case is settled based upon what a jury would be likely to do. In other words, if a jury would likely get a million dollars, the case has a settlement value of $1 million. If a jury would likely give $100, that is the fair settlement value of the case.
However, juries consider many, many factors in deciding what a fair and reasonable verdict is for any given personal injury case. It is not just about the severity of the injury, but that matters a lot. It is not just about the medical bills, but that also matters a great deal. It is not just about the money lost from work, the pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, but all those things play a factor. The reality is that an experienced Arizona car accident lawyer will need to give very serious consideration to any case before being able to give an honest and full assessment of the true settlement value of a claim.
