One of the first questions most clients ask after an accident is:

“How much is my case worth?”

It’s a fair question — but the truth is, no lawyer can accurately tell you the value of your case at an initial consultation. Every personal injury case is unique, and your case value depends on multiple factors that take time to develop and review.

At Okun Law PLLC, we evaluate each case individually and help you understand the factors that can affect compensation.

5 Key Factors That Determine Your Case Value

1. Type of Injuries Sustained

The nature of your injuries matters. Severe injuries like fractures, head trauma, or spinal cord injuries typically result in higher compensation than minor bruises or strains.

2. Extent of the Injuries

Juries and insurance companies consider how serious your injuries are and how long recovery takes. Permanent injuries or long-term disabilities significantly increase case value.

3. Medical Treatment and Recovery

The kind and duration of medical treatment - hospital stays, surgeries, therapy - all influence value. The longer and more intensive your recovery, the higher the potential claim.

4. Medical Bills and Lost Wages

Your total financial loss, including medical expenses, lost income, and out-of-pocket costs, plays a major role in determining damages.

5. Permanent Impact or Full Recovery

Whether you recover fully or suffer lasting effects (like chronic pain or scarring) can greatly affect your case’s worth. Permanent injuries often result in higher settlements or verdicts.

Be Cautious of “Quick Value” Estimates

If a lawyer promises you a specific case value during your first consultation, that’s a red flag. Until you finish medical treatment and your records, bills, and evidence have been reviewed, it’s impossible to know the true value of your case.

At Okun Law PLLC, we believe in honesty, not sales pitches. We’ll take the time to understand your situation and build your case carefully so you receive the compensation you deserve.
