    How Much is My Case Worth?

    This is an extremely difficult question to answer. The value of a case is based on a wide range of criteria including:

    • The extent of your injuries
    • Your inability to work / loss of earnings capacity
    • Your age
    • Past medical bills
    • Future medical bills
    • Pain and Suffering
    • Whether injuries are temporary or permanent
    • The insurance coverage of the other party
    • The identity and financial condition of the other party
    • and other factors.

    All cases are unique and we assess them on a case-by-case basis.

    How Do I Know if I Have a Case?

    To have a personal injury case, you must have suffered an injury, and that injury had to be at least partially the fault of another. The injury can be physical or non-physical depending upon the case and the basis of the lawsuit. Invasion of privacy, assault, infliction of emotional distress or an attack on your reputation are examples of injuries that are non-physical.

    How Long Will My Lawsuit Take?

    Some cases settle within weeks, while others require litigation and can take over a year to reach completion.
