This list does not cover all factors that determine the value of a claim, only some of them:
- Type of accident;
- Whether or not the accident was partly your fault;
- The type of injury was sustained;
- Whether or not you had surgery;
- Whether or not the injury is permanent;
- Whether or not you lost time from work, and how much you were making at the time;
- The amount of your medical bills;
- Whether or not your health insurance provider filed a lien against a settlement;
- Whether or not the injuries you claim existed, at least partially, prior to the accident.
