that is
00:06
not an easy question to answer when
00:09
you’re first
00:11
coming in to see a lawyer
00:13
there are a lot of pieces to the puzzle
00:15
that need to come into play before we
00:17
can determine what a case is worth
00:20
and a lot of times it depends on
00:22
how long you’re going to be out of work
00:25
whether you have permanent injury to a
00:27
part of your body
00:28
whether or not you can pursue the chosen
00:31
occupation that you have or have to
00:34
transition to another occupation and get
00:36
more training and thus
00:39
delay the amount of time before your
00:42
case can be resolved and so we look at a
00:44
whole lot of different things we have
00:46
settled cases for a million dollars or
00:48
more but every case is not a million
00:50
dollar case and every case is different
00:53
so we have to look at these things
00:56
and compare those things to what the
00:58
statute allows us to recover
01:01
and also determine
01:03
what in fact is going to happen the
01:06
ultimate outcome of your case is largely
01:08
dependent on how quickly you can get
01:10
back to work and whether you have
01:12
suffered permanent injury
