Posted on March 30, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law | Leave a Comment
There is no magic formula or process by which someone can predict with certainty the amount of money that a personal injury case may be worth. If there were, then society wouldn’t have a need for personal injury lawyers. One could simply apply the “formula” to come up with the value of a case.
