What is My Minnesota Motorcycle
Accident Claim Worth?
To determine the value of a motorcycle accident claim, your motorcycle accident lawyer will look at many factors. First, your motorcycle accident lawyer will have to consider fault. Any percentage of fault (up to and including 50%) placed on you reduces the value of your case by that percentage. Another factor, and the one that is most important, is the severity of your injuries. Information about the severity of your injuries usually comes from your doctor in a medical report in which he or she comments on your injuries. Doctors usually wait at least a year after the accident to issue a final medical report.
Another important factor is how your injuries affect you. For example, a broken finger to most people is not that severe an injury. If you happen to be a concert pianist, however, a broken finger can be a terrible loss. Thus, it’s important that your motorcycle accident lawyer know a lot about you and how your injuries have impacted your life. At PritzkerLaw we take time to thoroughly interview our motorcycle accident clients. This is particularly important in a motorcycle accident case because there are usually traumatic brain injuries. Other factors include the amount of your medical bills, the amount of your wage loss, whether you have any scars, what impact your injuries will have on your future earning capacity
