How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth in Florida?

There's no calculator that spits out a number, but there are six factors that drive every settlement in Palm Beach County.

Clients always want a number on day one. The honest answer: it depends on six measurable factors.

1. Medical specials

The total bills for past and projected medical care — often the floor of any settlement.

Documented time out of work, plus diminished future earning capacity.

Florida requires a 'permanent injury' to recover non-economic damages in car cases.

Clear liability commands top dollar. Comparative fault reduces recovery.

Most Florida drivers carry only $10K in bodily injury — UM/UIM coverage is critical.

Palm Beach County juries award more than some neighboring counties — venue matters.
