(864) 582-0416 It depends. This is a question that we get from clients in the majority of our South Carolina personal injury cases in and around Spartanburg, whether it’s a car or motorcycle accident, semi-truck or 18-wheeler accident, slip or trip and fall, nursing home injury, medical malpractice, or even a wrongful death case, which is valued differently from an injury case.
Let me free you from the burden of a few things you can stop looking for:
Here’s why: The truth is, injury cases are about people, and because all people are different, all cases are different—each case depends on its own facts and circumstances. There are so many factors that must be considered, the most important of which we list later.
Plus we don’t view any of our cases as “average.” It’s our job to make them exceptional!

Now let’s talk about when we start looking at how much your injury case is worth.
Early on in a personal injury case, it is the most difficult to tell what a good settlement amount will be, for two critical reasons:
From that point, we begin our investigation into the specifics of your case. Those details are what will really allow us to put a dollar figure on the losses you have suffered. So along the way, we begin to develop evidence that will enable us to get you the most compensation possible in your settlement or verdict.
In almost every case, we look at seven details in order to assign a proper value to your total injuries. Again, this is just how we initially approach the average case; what we discover along the way will suggest other areas to explore.
Those seven key factors:
It bears repeating: this list of seven factors is not meant to be exhaustive. These are some of the basic things we look for when evaluating your case.
Does it sound exhausting to compile all this evidence, especially the technical medical stuff? It is, for most folks. For us, it’s another good day’s work. And we know the work’s got to be done right, because seriously injured folks face skeptical juries who’ve seen too many TV commercials with actors flashing big smiles saying they got hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars for his injury case.
We know that’s misleading. In reality, being severely injured or suffering the death of a loved one is nothing to smile about. We take it seriously, to deliver your legal care with same determination and devotion you expect from medical caregivers. That’s why we go to great lengths to understand you, your injuries, and the effect they have on your life, then, now, and going forward.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligence of somebody else, do not go at it alone. The stakes are high. There are so many factors and variables to be weighed, and the system is complicated. Know when you need legal help.
