Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

Re: Glass in my Fries

Obviously, either by settlement or a trial verdict, the amount of medical expenses bear significantly on the overall worth of your case. However, just because your medical bills are low does not necessarily mean your case does not have significant value. For example, if you lose a finger in a work accident, your medical bills may be much less than an incident that leads to a soft tissue back injury. But that doesn't mean that the loss of a finger is worth less than the back injury. The "actual" damage elements to be considered in a case such as yours are past medical expenses, future medical expenses, time lost from work, etc. Not knowing the amount of your actual damages, it is very difficult to speculate on the value of your case. It comes down to your actual damages, and then your intangible damages can be reasonably speculated in light of the trend of jury verdicts in the county applicable to you. These verdicts are reported in a number of publications, one in particular is the Blue Sheets. It will depend on what State you are in. Whatever the case, I would suggest you contact an attorney. If you have any further questions, email me.
