The Top Three Most Important Factors in Your Personal Injury Case

  • Injuries. The more serious your injuries are, the higher your medical expenses will be, and the more your claim will be worth. A permanent disability has a much bigger financial impact than a broken bone or soft tissue injury. So, the biggest accident claim payouts you see are almost always for catastrophic injuries.
  • Insurance. As the saying goes, you can’t get blood from a stone. If the person responsible for your crash is uninsured or carries Indiana’s minimum insurance amounts, what you can get in a settlement will be limited. It’s likely that your own insurance will cover some of your medical expenses, but it probably won’t cover other damages.
  • Legal representation. Car accident victims who work with a personal injury attorney to settle a claim or file a lawsuit generally end up with more compensation than people who choose to work directly with the insurance company on their own. While it doesn’t usually pay to hire an attorney for a minor injury, when you require emergency room treatment and hospitalization following a car crash, an attorney can make a big difference in the outcome of your claim.

Assuming these three factors come into play in your case—you were seriously injured, the at-fault driver has decent insurance, and you have hired a personal injury lawyer—there are still things you can do to maximize the value of your claim.
