How Much is My Claim Worth?

The value of your claim depends on many factors. Some are:

1. How serious or disabling your injury is. Often this factor can be presented so as to enhance the claim’s value by an experienced and skilled personal injury lawyer.
2. How much are your medical bills? Gathering the medical bills and projecting future lost medicals bills with the help of the doctors is the job of a competent lawyer skilled in personal injury.
3. Was the other driver clearly at fault under Maine law and the rules of the road? You need a competent lawyer to IMMEDIATELY investigate the case, before skidmarks disappear and witnesses memories fade.
4. Are you disfigured in any way from the accident? Scars and other disfigurements add to the damages you have suffered and, in the hands of a competent lawyer, to the value of your case.
5. Are you someone the insurance company or even a jury would find sympathetic? Insurance companies pay more to people whom a prospective jury would like.
6. How much is the other person’s insurance coverage? If someone has an injury worth $500,000 and other driver had $50,000 coverage and no assets and you had no other uninsured coverage or other sources, $50,000 may be all that’s available. At HWD, we have helped hundreds of people collect money over and above the amount of the other driver’s insurance from uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, other potentially at fault persons and other sources. We never give up until every stone in unturned looking for the best result for our clients.
