Working with a personal injury lawyer is never desired, but is often needed depending on your personal injury settlement. It is their job to handle your complex legal paperwork. While it can certainly be stressful, this video will show how your settlement is calculated.
There are two main areas of personal injury law. Pain and suffering, which can be hard to decipher. These are usually physical limitations from your injury. Mental pain and suffering is the other area, such as suffering from depression. It is the injury lawyer’s duty to put a dollar value on the client’s suffering. It is common to use a multiple of the actual cost.
The actual cost can include hospital bills, medical fees, and lost wages. While it may seem as simple as calculating totals from receipts and then multiplying, other psychological factors endured by the client must also be considered. These cases are often complex and cannot be resolved by simple arithmetic.
