http://www.portlandpersonalinjuryaccidentlawyer.com/faqs/how-much-is-my-case-... - You know, people ask us all the time, "What's my case worth?" And, it's a frustrating question. Because, there's no easy answer.
We can figure out how much the damage to your car is worth, that's pretty easy, we have repair bills. We can figure out how much your wage loss is worth. Easy. Figure out how much money you would have made, that's straightforward. We can figure out how much your medical bills are.
But then there's the pain and suffering money, the money you get for inconvenience, for making your life more difficult.
There's hardly ever a trial. There's a trial probably less than 5 percent of the time; most of the cases we settle. But [lawyers] are all thinking about trial. We're thinking about what would happen in a trial, and that's the only way to get a value for your case. There's no easy answer.
