One of the first questions people ask a Jacksonville personal injury attorney when they are considering filing a lawsuit over their automobile accident injury or other injury case is, “How much is my case worth?”
Unfortunately, no Florida lawyer can answer that question without spending hours, or even weeks, digging into your case to uncover all its components. A myriad of considerations go into calculating the value of an injury case, everything from your long-term medical costs to what kind of insurance the defendant has. Most of these factors cannot be found out until you retain a lawyer and he subpoena’s the needed information.
Sometimes an initial estimate is possible, but it is likely to be thousands, tens of thousands or even several hundred thousand dollars off. Not even a highly experienced and qualified Jacksonville personal injury lawyer like Brett Hastings can place a definite value on your case before being retained and doing his homework. Stay far away from any Florida lawyer who tells you otherwise.
