Is there a set formula for determining a fair settlement for my New Jersey car accident claim?

A:

There is NO set formula for determining a fair settlement in a New Jersey car accident claim. If you want to file such a claim, you should first get the professional help of a New Jersey injury lawyer.

While a qualified attorney will abstain from giving you a predicted outcome for your claim, they can investigate your case, and give a fair estimation of the value of your claim. In order to arrive at an estimate, some of the factors that a New Jersey injury lawyer will consider include: 

• The value of damages to your vehicle and other personal property;
• The cost of your medical bills;
• The length of time that it took for you to recover from your injuries;
• Your expected future health care expenses;
• Past, present, or future physical pain and/or suffering that you experienced;
• Past, present, or future mental pain and/or anguish that you experienced; and
• Loss of past, present or future wages.

 All of these factors may contribute to the value of your personal injury settlement. With the help of a New Jersey injury lawyer, you can negotiate for a fair and adequate settlement offer from the insurance company. If an acceptable agreement cannot be reached, your attorney can help you to file a personal injury lawsuit.
