There are factors that will increase what you are paid as damages. - The more painful the type of injury normally is the more your case is worth. For instance a broken finger is normally more painful than a sprained finger.
- The more that hard injuries are involved the more your case is worth. Again a broken finger is easier to prove than a sprained finger. Still with medical documentation a sprained finger can be proven as damages. Soft tissue injuries are always suspected as being exaggerated imagined and a possible fraud. Broken bones offer solid physical proof.
- City accident pay more than rural accidents A person that lives in the city will normally be paid 50,000 or so for a herniated disc a person that lives in the rural areas will be paid half as much.
- The longer it takes to recover from an injury the more your case is worth. Often this is valued at about 2000 dollars per month but don't prolong your treatment to increase damages they catch on.
- The more your case is documented by medical evidence the more your case is worth.
- The more your case is documented by a medical doctor the more your case is worth. The opinion of a chiropractor is held in less regard by insurance companies.
- The more serious your injury is the greater it is worth. Head and Neck injuries are paid more than any other type of injury. Back injuries are paid almost as much
- The more your injury involves disfigurement the more your case is worth.
- The more surgery and complications are involved the more your case is worth. If your case involves surgery your damages will be much higher by normally at least 20,000 dollars.
- The more your case involves wounds the more your case is worth.
- The more your case involves residual injuries or life long damages and injuries the more your case is worth.
- The type of medication including how serious the medication is and how long you had to take it will effect your damages. A person on Tylenol for a week wont collect what a person on morphine for a month will.
- Physical and Emotional Distress can be collected but what is paid in one area of the country for physical and Emotional Distress damages will not be what is collected in another part of the country.
- Multiple factors may also increase your damages.
- An unsympathetic defendant such as a drunk driver and a sympathetic plaintiff such as a blind pregnant female may dramatically increase your damages.
