"How much is my case worth?"

That is the most common question asked by Michigan personal injury, car accident, and medical malpractice clients that contact our personal injury law firm. The answer that no one likes to hear is, "it depends." What does it depend on?

**How the car accident, injury, or medical malpractice occurred?
**How serious are the injuries suffered by the accident or injury victim?
**How permanent are the injuries suffered in the accident?
**Were there medical expenses incurred as a result of your injury?
**Were there lost wages as a result of the accident or injury?
**Is there an insurance policy that will cover the injury or accident case?
**Which insurance company is covering the injury or accident case?

As you can see, there are a lot of factors that go into determining a fair settlement for your car accident, personal injury, or malpractice case. This is not even a complete list. No honest Michigan car accident or personal injury attorney can answer your question without knowing this information.

The other important factor is "Who is your lawyer?" Clearly, the personal injury lawyer that you hire for your case is often the difference between receiving a fair settlement or no settlement.
