English to Spanish Law/Patents Insurance Law firm brochure

The value of each case depends on the type of case and the amount of insurance available. For example, in car accidents, many drivers only have the basic liability insurance in New York which is usually $25,000. An injury that occurred in a car accident may be valued "less" than in another type of accident simply because there is a minimal insurance policy that a plaintiff's attorney can go after.

The value of your case will also depend on whether you were "contributory negligent", whether you had any pre-existing injuries, your age and whether you lost time from work, and what county the case is venued in, among other things.
