There is no formula to determine what a case is worth. Each case is different and the value depends on a number of factors including, strength of liability, amount of medical expenses, whether there is permanent injury, and lost income or earning capacity. The best way to determine a reasonable value for your case is to seek the advice of an attorney who is experienced in handling similar cases. The attorney can do a thorough evaluation of all of the facts and come up with a value range for the case.
