Steps for Calculating a Settlement Amount: A Checklist

To receive more money in your car accident case, you need to collect all the necessary documentation.

Do not worry. Our car accident attorneys will walk you through this process and gather all of this information with you.

• We consider bills from ambulance services, emergency room visits, doctor appointments, surgeries, medications, physical therapy sessions, and any other relevant treatments. You need full medical records that provide a story of the therapy received.
• We gather salary stubs, W2 forms, 1099 forms, and income tax returns that demonstrate your income prior to the accident. Additionally, we can request a letter from your employer stating the corresponding lost income.
• Consult doctors to obtain an estimate and overall view of anticipated future medical intervention. This should include projected expenses for therapy sessions, surgeries, medications, assistive equipment or devices, and any other necessary medical treatments and services.
• We can provide evidence of vehicle damage. Take photographs to document the extent of the damage and keep receipts if your vehicle was deemed a loss.
• Keep track of out-of-pocket costs such as transportation costs or certain therapy costs not covered by insurance. If you require help with a household task during your recovery, you’ll need to keep copies of receipts for this service as well.
• Keep track of non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, by journalizing your experiences in dealing with pain or emotional distress. Make sure you keep any notes from doctors that describe your level of pain and your treatment progress.

We can also support your claim for non-economic damages by gathering testimonies from vocational rehab specialists or professional economists. This can help us determine the amounts you’ll need for pain and suffering or the loss of enjoyment of life due to permanent disability or disfigurement.
