The general rule is that the amount of damages that are awarded in a personal injury case is determined by a series of factors. For example, did the case settle, or was there a jury verdict? How clear is the liability, is it clear, or are were there other contributing factors? And finally, how much services were lost? Based upon these, as well as other factors, the amount can vary to very little to very significant. In any event, I suggest that you consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to discuss this matter in greater detail and evaluate the value of your potential claim in the interest of obtaining the most favorable resolution possible.
