How Much Is My Case Worth?

One of the most common questions our Illinois workers’ compensation and personal injury attorneys get is: “how much is my case worth?” Obviously, there’s no way to determine the answer in the abstract. Each case is different and complex in its own fashion. In fact, if any Chicago personal injury attorney places a value on your claim without listening to the details of your situation, ignore that figure! A wide variety of factors determine settlement amounts and trial verdicts.

These can include:

  • The nature and severity of your injury/injuries
  • Whether or not the liable insurance company accepts fault
  • Your condition following medical treatment
  • Whether or not you’ll need ongoing treatment, such as physical therapy or counseling
  • Whether or not you were partially at fault or negligent
  • Tactics and strategies your attorney employs to negotiate with the insurance company or other liable parties

Here at The Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, our Chicago personal injury attorneys have served over 6,000 clients since we opened our doors in 1994.
