What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

As an injury attorney this is the most common question asked when I am consulting injury victims. The answer depends on many different factors. Where did the accident occur? What are the injuries? How much are your medical bills? Do you have a permanent disability rating? Do you have lost wages? Is liability clear?

The answer to this question can be often overwhelming for injury victims. The goal in resolving injury cases is adequate compensation for the injury victim. Most cases are very complicated, thus an attorney is needed to sort through all of the red tape.

Before you hire a personal injury attorney be sure to check them out. Ask whether they have experience handling your type of case. You can also ask the attorney for client testimonials. There is no better way to find out about an attorneys performance than talking to former clients. Do your homework and find out if the attorney is right for you. Patrick Kenerly (205)912-8245

Do you have a personal injury case?

If you are hurt and think somebody else is to blame, these simple questions will help you assess your case:

WHO could be held liable? Did the wrongdoing of somebody else cause or contribute to your injury, and whose was it?

WHAT is the extend of your injury? Is it permanent or temporary? Did you lose time from work? How much? How much money did you spend on medical bills; how much do you owe? Did you suffer pain or emotional trauma?

WHERE did the injury happen? This affects who can be found liable. For example, did it happen at work, in a mall, or a highway?

WHEN did it happen? If you wait too long to file a claim, you may be out of luck because of rules setting deadlines for filing. In some cases, these rules require making a claim in six months or shorter.
