How much is my auto accident case worth? | Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp

Unfortunately, the answer is … it depends.  The value of a case is determined by the damages in the case. Damages include the medical bills, the injuries suffered, the time lost away from work, any permanent harm from the injuries, and a number of other factors.  The amount of insurance coverage also matters, because the most “valuable” case in the world in terms of damages is typically limited by the availability of auto insurance coverage. For example, if you have $100,000 in medical expenses, but only $75,000 in total available auto insurance coverage, the maximum “value” to your claim is likely $75,000.
