When someone is injured in a car accident, it’s initially difficult to quantify the total value of damages, which include, but are not limited to: bodily injury, property damage, medical expenses, lost income, emotional pain, physical pain and a reduction in quality of life.
Car accident victims want to be fairly compensated for their expenses and damages, but it is difficult to assess the value of a claim unless you understand what damages are worth in today’s judicial “market” (aka: what juries are awarding at trial).
In its beginning stages, a car accident case is difficult to value because there are many variables that impose problems in calculating a potential recovery amount. However, as the case progresses, an understanding of the scope of damages can be assessed to determine a value. Sometimes, that figure can be significant, while other times, it can be less than expected.
While other accident firms may “encourage” their clients to quickly file a lawsuit, we prefer to settle a case for a fair amount without the burden, expense and time it takes to get a case in front of a jury. This is done because our focus is your recovery and well-being. A trial is hard on everyone, including the plaintiffs, so this is not a preferred initial option in a personal injury case. However, if needed, we will always be prepared to present your case to a jury.
If you have been injured in a car accident, The Beltz Law Firm can review your case and provide you with an honest assessment of your claim, as well as be realistic and manage expectations.
