You have an excellent claim. The value will depend on a number of factors including the amount of your medical expenses, the amount of any lost wages and how long it took you to recover. It sounds like you are still suffering. If your injuries are ongoing then the value is even more significant. I would suggest you contact a personal injury lawyer who can help you navigate this. The initial consultation is free, so there is no harm in talking to someone. I would be more than happy to further discuss this with you. Feel free to give me a call.

The viability and value of your claim will depend on a number of factors. Whenever one is injured in a motor vehicle collision and is seeking treatment, you should seriously consider hiring an auto accident lawyer to represent you. The insurance company of the at fault driver has a lawyer, do you think you should also have a lawyer representing you? If you understand all of your rights under the law and know how to determine the value of an auto collision claim, then perhaps you do not need a lawyer. Based upon the facts that you describe, if you were my family member or friend, I would encourage you to hire an auto accident lawyer. Good luck with this matter.
