The value of a back injury claim is determined by taking into account multiple factors. The main factor to take into account is the cost of medical care, which includes ongoing care, prescription drugs, physical therapy, and surgeries. Future and present lost wages are also a consideration because a severe back injury may prevent you from working for an extended period of time. An even more subjective metric, pain and suffering, takes into consideration both the psychological and physical anguish that resulted from the injury. This can greatly raise your claim's value, particularly if the injury has reduced your quality of life.
Critical factors also include the accident's actual circumstances. In addition to receiving compensation for the immediate effects of the injury, you might also be eligible for punitive damages, which are intended to deter especially careless behavior, if another party's negligence resulted in the injury. The ultimate settlement or verdict may be influenced by the existence of liability, the accessibility of insurance coverage, and the jurisdiction in which your claim is filed.
