Because personal injury law encompasses a wide variety of accidents, there is no way to accurately predict a person’s exact financial award following a successful case. However, these awards are typically based on a number of factors, including medical bills, lost wages, property repair costs, and more. Thus, by estimating the total financial burden you have suffered, you can get an idea of what your compensation may be. It is important to keep in mind, though, that legal actions such as settling your case may result in a lower compensation amount as compared to taking your case to trial.
