How much is my case worth

August 8, 2025: How can you determine the value of your case?

1. Economic Damages: These are tangible, calculable expenses such as medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and other out-of-pocket expenses.
2. Consider Non-Economic Damages: These include intangible losses like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. These are more subjective and can vary greatly depending on the specifics of your case and the jurisdiction.
3. Look at Case Law and Precedents: Research similar cases and see how they were valued and settled. This can give you an idea of what to expect for your case.
4. Evaluate Insurance Limits: If your case involves an insurance claim, consider the policy limits of the insurance coverage. This can cap the amount you might be able to recover.
5. Assess the Strength of Your Case: Consider the evidence you have, the credibility of witnesses, and the likelihood of proving your claims in court. Stronger cases generally have higher potential values.
6. Consult with your Attorney: Your lawyer can provide a professional valuation based on their experience and knowledge of similar cases. Lawyers want their clients to have reasonable expectations for every outcome. Patrick LePley and Elizabeth LePley work with their clients to understand the process and potential outcomes.
