Usually it is figued on the amount of the injury and if you can work and what work you can do. It is all based on the man. For instance you hurt your arm and can not work anymore you will get a lot more than if it is a temporary problem. The lawyer gets one third off the top, and you get the rest. Usually in one payment. Once you settle you have no rights in case of future problems. I would make sure that any future permanant disablity is recalculated. This may take time and if you have car payments and house payments you may not have the time to wait for a large settlement. Usually the workmans comp is fair. A judge may give you more or less depending on how creditable the witnesses are in your behalf. |

Injury award. I usually calculated on the basis of the cost of the medical care and rehab you received (even if it was covered by insurance). Attorneys have access to databases that compile amounts other people have recovered for similar injuries and will use that to figure out how much to ask for your "pain and suffering" and those kinds of things. The idea is that the attorney for the person/company you are suing also has access to that information..... Your attorney asks for a certain amount and says to the other side--hey, look at the standard award for this kind of injury, if you give us the money now, you won't have to spend a bunch of money going to court.....
Attorney Fee. A fairly standard arrangement would involve the attorney representing you in exchange for 1/3 of the total amount of money you are awarded PLUS costs (filing fees, photocopies, deposition fees, expert witness fees, etc). If the representation is related to an appeal for Social Security Benefits, the amount the attorney can charge is regulated by SSA. Be sure to ask exactly how the fee will be calculated--ask what "costs" are and how much they are estimated to be and if they are counted before or after the 1/3 calculation. You also want to find out what happens if you decide you want to drop the suit or change to a different lawyer. |

I would say the lawyer would calculate for the amount of money he will make...He's no dummy! |

It is true, the lawyer calculates how much money you will get based on how much he/she wants to make. But to make a case, the lawyer will calculate your compensation based on your lost income, expenses incurred and most importantly, on your 'pain and suffering'. And to prove that there is a case, your lawyer will present precedent cases (situations similar to yours) where the courts have awarded similar amounts of compensation. |

your lawyer should be able to tell you how much you can expect minus his cut.
mine told me a lot higher when mine first started. by the way, never use bottaro morefield and cubin from kansas city kansas. they sell you out and dont think a thing about it. |

First, they're going to look for the "jury sympathy" factor. Dead babies, for example, mean huge settlements - usually policy limits. Regardless of fault or negligence, dead babies make juries cry.
If you're not a sympathy target (ie, young healthy dad with family of young kids to support, injured through no fault of your own, by a mean corporate giant), then they look at how much of an impact the the incident had on your life. If you were already disabled, and the new injury hasn't changed your life much, do NOT expect much in the way of settlement.
So it really depends on how much the incident changed your life, and the lives of those around you (read, immediate family).
But you can ALSO ask your attorney this question, AND expect an answer! |
