This is one of our most-commonly asked questions, and also one of the most difficult to answer. The simple truth is that every case is different, and we cannot speculate about any particular case without first knowing the facts.
Your case is worth either what our South Carolina injury lawyers tell the insurance company it’s worth or the amount of an award granted by a judge or jury. We examine all of the conditions surrounding your case in order to arrive at a figure that we believe the insurance company must pay for your injuries. These conditions include how the accident happened, what injuries you suffered, future medical problems, the amount of insurance, the amount of medical expenses and lost income, as well as future medical costs and future loss of income. We study every detail so that we can get you the money you deserve for your injuries.
Personal injury victims typically are eligible to receive two types of compensation:
- Economic damages, which cover losses such as medical bills and lost wages.
- Non-economic damages, which cover losses such as pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
A third type of damages, punitive damages, are occasionally awarded in personal injury cases, but only those that involve intentional acts of harm or other egregious behavior.
