Variables That Work To Determine Dollar Value of Personal Injury Claim

Some adults hesitate to speak with a lawyer about filing a personal injury claim. Frequently, such adults tend to think that their finances allow them to handle any expenses that might arise from a given accident. Yet their view fails to address this question: What value might be placed on an injury, one for which the injured party should be compensated?

Factors that increase the value of such an injury:

A plaintiff with a hard injury can expect to receive a larger award than one with a soft injury. A broken bone would be an example of one of the former injuries. Damage to soft tissues would be evident in any of the latter injuries.

If a bulk of medical expenses arose from utilization of a treatment procedure, in injury’s value would increase. If the victim got treated in a doctor’s office, in a clinic or at a hospital, the value of that same victim’s medical problem (injury) would increase. A victim’s readiness to use prescription medications manages to raise the value of the condition being treated with that same medication.

The absence of contributory evidence can increase the value of a victim’s injury. In a courtroom, the availability of believable witnesses can highlight the value of the plaintiff’s medical problems. On the other hand, the absence of sympathetic tendencies on the part of the defendant can boost the value of those same medical problems.

The personal injury lawyer in Calgary knows that an injury’s ability to create permanent changes on a victim’s body can increase the value of the injury that caused such changes. Evidence of a victim’s physical or emotional distress can work to showcase the value of the same victim’s injuries. Finally, a disruption in lifestyle, such as a forced cancellation of plans can function as variable that has managed to increase the value of the injury that caused such a cancellation. Victim’s family must pay for adaptations to the family’s home, in order to accommodate the presence of medical equipment.

Factors that decrease value of injury

One of victim’s soft tissues was damaged. A medical examination had failed to reveal the presence of open wounds, injured vertebrae or nerve damage. A large portion of the medical expenses arose during the completion of an expensive diagnostic procedure. Here are a few aspects that can play a huge factor in a determination of the expected value for a head injury:

• The victim’s treatment did not call for extensive use of prescription medications.
• The victim arrived at the doctor’s office on few occasions.
• The plaintiff/victim had a short and speedy recovery.
• The plaintiff did not have to deal with permanent injuries.
• The plaintiff remained in control of his or her emotions.
• The victim did not suffer scarring, weakness or loss of mobility
