How To Rate Your Accident-Injury Case?

What does a personal injury attorney consider when evaluating whether you have a good accident-injury case?
The Facts
First, they consider the facts of the accident and whether the accident was entirely the other driver's fault. You may still have a good case, even if the accident was partially your fault.

The Injuries
Next, they consider the nature and extent of your injury. Some injuries may not appear until days or even a week after an accident. You cannot properly evaluate a personal injury case until all the injuries have stabilized and the extent of future medical care can be determined.

The Insurance
The next factor the attorney will consider is whether there is insurance available to compensate you for your losses. There are several possible sources of insurance coverage such as liability coverage, uninsured motorist coverage, and underinsured motorist coverage. Each type of coverage will be examined to determine whether it will apply to the facts of your case.

Aggravating Factors
Finally, the attorney will consider whether there were any aggravating factors which may increase the value of your case, such as whether the other driver was intoxicated at the time of the accident.
