Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims or try to downplay injuries in order to get you to settle quickly for the least amount of money. You should never agree to a settlement after an accident without having your case reviewed by an attorney.
Insurance companies use high-pressure, unprincipled tactics to try to get you to close out your case. Let our attorneys review the offer to ensure that you are getting full and fair compensation based on your injuries.

- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
How Much Is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?
After suffering unthinkable harm due to another person’s negligence, you may wonder how much your claim is worth. It is important to note that no two personal injury cases are the same; each has its own unique set of facts and circumstances that contribute to the overall outcome.
In order to determine the value of your case or how much you should ask for in damages, you will need to take into account the extent of your injuries and the factors that contributed to your accident. Our Yonkers personal injury lawyers can help explain your rights and your potential for recovery.
Questions that may help determine the value of your claim:
- Were you partially at fault?
- Was a party’s misconduct egregious?
- Was there gross negligence?
- Are there multiple parties that may be held liable?
- Were your injuries catastrophic, leaving you unable to work?
