Personal Injury Settlement Calculator | MI Accident Lawyers

Senior Partner and Attorney of the Southfield Michigan law firm of Goodman Acker explains what factors determine how much a personal injury case is worth in the State of Michigan. Many refer to this as the "personal injury settlement calculator."

Acker uses a whiteboard that draws out several key factors in how to calculate an accident settlement.

"Although there is no set formula for determining how much a personal injury lawsuit will settle for, particularly in the early stages of the claim (investigation), there are some factors, such as the type of injuries suffered, that can help calculate what your accident claim is worth," says Acker.

Get your own medical records on disc for about $13.50 no attorney will tell you this. When they get your medical records from the hospital it can be $1.49 per page and the high rate comes from your settlement. This could be hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I was T boned by a drunk driver, and it was a hit and run. The police caught the guy, thank God. And the person had insurance, as did I. I was taken to the ER for back pain and have been in Physical Therapy for about 3 months. About 12-15 sessions. My medical bills have been about $6000. I can perform my exercises but have been told not to jog or run yet. I used to go to the gym 3-4 a week. I can't lift heavy anymore or jog. How much do you think I will get, ball park?
