One of the most common questions we are asked during an initial free consultation is: “How much is my personal injury case worth?”
It is difficult to answer such a question based on the limited information from a one-hour consultation.
To determine the value of a personal injury case, an attorney must evaluate the compensation that a judge or jury might award for: pain and suffering, loss of a normal life, past and future medical bills, lost wages and pension, disfigurement and whether the client contributed to the negligence.
As you can probably see, the contributing factors are going to be different for each and every case. At Krylov Lam & Company, our experienced attorneys fully explain each of the possibilities to our clients, so that they can make an informed decision about the amount they would be comfortable with in a settlement.
In addition to these factors – if the case goes to trial – careful jury selection will play an integral role in the value of the case. A jury that is prejudiced against lawsuits will likely reduce the value of the case unfairly.
Our fee is the only factor that generally remains constant. We charge what is known as a contingency fee. Our fee is a small percentage of the compensation recovered and expenses. We front all of the costs for litigating the case AND there are no fees by our firm, unless we win.
Ultimately, the value of your case is your decision. While our attorneys can provide a range of what your case may be worth, you are the final decision-maker. The choice to settle your case versus taking it to a jury trial is yours.
A FREE consultation with our Krylov Lam & Company injury attorneys can help ease your fears and protect your rights. If appropriate, we’ll arrange for an immediate investigation while evidence is fresh, including statements from witnesses, the defendant and photographs of the scene and vehicles involved.
We invite you for a free telephone or in-person consultation to discuss your accident and any questions you may have. Most of our lawyers have over two decades of experience and we have an outstanding track record in helping our clients!
