This is a common question. The value of monetary damage claims against drunk drivers depends on the nature and extent of your injuries and the damages they have caused in your life.
In other words, drunk driving in and of itself does not make a claim worth a certain amount; your injuries, your lost wages and income, and the pain and suffering you experience all make the claim amount what it is.
Tabulating the charges will determine economic damages such as medical bills and expenses. Economic damages like income lost from work are determined by establishing the total amount of time the victim needed to take from work and multiplying it by the current pay rate.
Pain and suffering damages, however, are treated differently. There is no way to simply add up monetary damages for pain and suffering, because they are subjective. As a result, insurance companies will try to lowball you for these and other noneconomic damages.
You need to call us for a fair evaluation of what you’re going through. We won’t let the insurance company cheat you out of the damages it owes you.
