How much am I going to get?

Unfortunately, there is no pat answer to this question, notwithstanding the “experts” declarations that they have one. There are so many factors that will come into play in a personal injury case that help determine what it is worth, including to what extent any of the various forms of compensatory damages — medical treatment, property loss, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium — receive a dollar value and are awarded in order to help make the plaintiff “whole” again.

In the final analysis, if the attorneys, adjustors, arbitrator, mediators or even the judge can’t agree with you as to the value of your claim, it is the majority of a panel composed of your peers from your community — the jury — who will decide what you will receive to compensate you for your injury.
