What’s My Personal Injury Case Worth?

It depends on the extent of your injuries.

The value of your specific claim or lawsuit will depend on the answers to questions like these:

  • What kind of accident were you involved in?
  • How severe are the injuries you’ve sustained?
  • Are you temporarily or permanently disabled and unable to perform your activities?
  • How much will it cost to replace or repair damaged property?
  • How has the accident affected you mentally and emotionally?
  • Has the accident interfered with your ability to enjoy your life?
  • Have you endured pain and suffering due to your injuries?

Don’t let insurance companies tell you what your case is worth. They certainly don’t have your best interests at heart.

Our experienced injury accident attorneys do. We work with experts so that we get the valuation process right –  setting you up to get the amount you’re entitled to.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Suit?

What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Suit?

There are two types of damages that might be available to you after an accident. These are compensatory damages and punitive damages.

Compensatory damages are paid to compensate you for your injuries, suffering, and costs after an accident. These awards are actually broken down into two distinct categories: economic awards and non-economic awards. 

Economic damages are paid to compensate for the calculable and verifiable financial costs of an accident. These include:

  • Medical expenses (e.g., ambulance service, hospitalization, surgery, medical devices, medication)
  • Rehabilitation and therapy
  • The cost of replacing or repairing damage to property
  • Lost wages and income
  • Temporary and/or permanent disability
  • Reduced earning capacity, and
  • Funeral and burial expenses.

You are entitled to seek economic damages for both present and future costs.

Non-economic damages are paid to compensate for the intangible, subjective, and highly-personal consequences that an accident might cause. These include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, and PTSD
  • Disfigurement
  • Scarring
  • Loss of consortium, and
  • Loss of enjoyment of life.

There are many factors that can affect how an unintentional injury will affect a person. So, these damages tend to be difficult to value in terms of dollars are cents. The value can vary substantially from one case to another. It’s critical to enlist the help of qualified experts and specialists during the valuation process. 

Punitive damages have one singular purpose: to punish the defendant for conduct that is particularly bad. In Pennsylvania, punitive damages can only be awarded when it’s established by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant’s conduct was malicious, willful, wanton, extreme, or outrageous. So, punitive damages are typically not available in all personal injury cases. Rather, they’re reserved for when an extreme remedy is necessary.

Our personal injury team will carefully review your case and identify any and all damages that might be available to you. Then we’ll work hard to secure maximum compensation on your behalf.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit in Pennsylvania After I Get Hurt?

Under Pennsylvania law, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against any negligent party. While there are times when a different timeframe might apply, those are the exceptions, not the rule.

For instance, the statute of limitations is accelerated when a government agency is involved. On the other hand, you could have additional time to file a lawsuit if you’re under the age of 18 when you get injured.

The important thing to know is that you lose the right to seek and recover compensation if you miss the deadline that applies to your particular case. Protect your rights and speak with our accident attorneys in Philadelphia, PA as soon as you can after you’ve been injured.

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer in Philadelphia After an Accident?

Typically, it costs anywhere from a third to 40% of your financial recovery. But, it costs nothing upfront.

That’s because most accident attorneys work on contingency. Their fee – and whether they’re paid – totally depends on the result of your case.

If they don’t win, you don’t pay.

Always discuss how the attorney’s fee is calculated. You need to know whether it’s based on the gross (total you’re awarded) or net recovery (total after case expenses are taken out).
