by Alan Sackrin – Florida Personal Injury Lawyer Since 1982 – Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer
The most often asked question of a personal injury lawyer by accident victims is what is their case worth. I understand the need to know this information because victims want to know if they are going to be made whole.
For this reason, below are my opinions of the average values of various legitimate Florida personal injury claims along with links to my website where you can see samples of settlements I obtained.
My opinion of value is based upon the large number of cases I have settled or won at trial during my 38+ years as a personal injury lawyer, my review of jury verdict reporters, industry trade publications, including claim reports from large insurance companies, as well as talking with other personal injury lawyers whose opinion I respect.
Of course, there are multiple factors that impact the amount of a settlement, including, among other variables, the severity of the injuries, the age of the victim, is the victim employed or unable to work, is the injury to a dominant limb, and fault.
