Boat Accident Case Value

Answer:

Here in central Florida, we are home to thousands of lakes. Millions of boat enthusiasts enjoy the waterways of Florida every day, from the Indian River, the Banana River, Saint Johns River, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, all the lakes in between. Now, when you have that many people in the water, accidents happen. One of the most common questions we get from clients is what’s my accident worth, what’s my case worth. Now, the answer to that question tends to be what your injuries are and what are the medical bills associated with those injuries. That tends to be the starting off point for those types of cases.

Now, there’s things that can be added to increase the value of that case. How much has this incident affected your life? How much has it affected your family’s life? Has it affected the ability for you to earn money in the past or in the future? Things like pain and suffering, lost wages, they all factor into increasing the value of your case from that point on.

Obviously, defendants and insurance companies will do what they do which is to try and chip away at the value of your case. Perhaps they want to claim you were partially at fault or medical bills or treatment you received were excessive or unnecessary. An experienced attorney who handles these types of cases will be able to maximize the value of your case, which is why it’s important that if you’ve been involved in a boating accident here in Florida, reach out to us at the Victory law firm.
