How Much Is My Car Accident Claim Worth?
Car accident claims don't usually have a standard value. It all narrows down to the specifics of your case. Many different factors will come into play here, so it is virtually impossible to name them all. To give you some perspective, here are a few examples.
The issue of fault and liability for the crash is usually the key factor when determining the value of a car accident claim. In most cases, when the other party is found to be fully at fault, that alone can increase the potential compensation you may receive.
Secondly, the type and severity of the injuries will also decide how much compensation you or a loved one may be entitled to. Serious injuries that require extensive medical treatment or those that result in long-term disability tend to yield higher compensation compared to minor injuries.
Did you seek prompt medical evaluation? The answer to this question will also have a say when calculating the value of your claim. Note that if you take too long to seek medical attention, the other party could question the validity of your injuries.
Similarly, if you seek medical attention but fail to follow the doctor's instructions, the defendant could claim that your injuries were not severe or that you made things worse for yourself. Such an argument could force you to settle for less than you deserve.
Whatever statements you make about the car accident can impact your claim. These include statements made to insurance adjusters, law enforcement, or even on social media. This explains why you should always contact a car accident attorney before providing any official statements.
If you suffered permanent disabilities, disfigurement, or long-term impairment after the accident, a skilled lawyer would use that as a factor to increase the value of your claim. This is because such injuries usually require ongoing medical care and may lead to a diminished quality of life.
How Does the Modified Comparative Negligence Rule Work in Philadelphia?
In Philadelphia and throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, when multiple parties are judged to be responsible for an accident, the state follows a modified comparative fault rule. This rule dictates that anyone found to be partially responsible for an accident will have their damages reduced proportionally. Furthermore, if judged to be more than 50% at fault for the accident, such an individual cannot recover any damages.
