What is My Case Worth?
Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Santa Clarita and Valencia, CA
No two Santa Clarita personal injury claims are the same, and as such the value of a case will vary dramatically depending on the specific circumstances surrounding the incident, in addition to the extent of injuries the victim sustained. Following are some factors that may be taken into account when determining the value of a personal injury claim:
- The incident itself
- The extent of injuries the victim sustained
- Whether the victim was partially responsible in the accident
- What impact the injuries will have on the victim's ability to work or perform activities that he or she once enjoyed
- Medical bills the injury caused
- Any future medical care or medical equipment that will be needed
- Whether the victim will require a long-term nurse or assisted living

Partial Liability and Financial Compensation
In California, different parties may be held partially liable in personal injury claims or lawsuits. For example, Joe and Bob may have been involved in an auto accident. Joe may have been 70% at fault, and Bob may have been 30% at fault for the accident. In this situation, because Joe is primarily at fault he should be held legally responsible. However, Joe would only be responsible for 70% of the damages that Bob sustained in the accident. If Bob's damages were valued at $10,000, Joe would be responsible for $7,000 of this. Bob's insurance company would most likely cover the rest.
