so
that is
not an easy question to answer when
you’re first
coming in to see a lawyer
there are a lot of pieces to the puzzle
that need to come into play before we
can determine what a case is worth
and a lot of times it depends on
how long you’re going to be out of work
whether you have permanent injury to a
part of your body
whether or not you can pursue the chosen
occupation that you have or have to
transition to another occupation and get
more training and thus
delay the amount of time before your
case can be resolved and so we look at a
whole lot of different things we have
settled cases for a million dollars or
more but every case is not a million
dollar case and every case is different
so we have to look at these things
and compare those things to what the
statute allows us to recover
and also determine
what in fact is going to happen the
ultimate outcome of your case is largely
dependent on how quickly you can get
back to work and whether you have
suffered permanent injury
