There is no scientific way to put a dollar value on an injury claim. In general terms, the greater the likelihood that the injury victim can prove each and every element of the personal injury claim, the more valuable the injury claim becomes.

Factors influencing the value of an injury claim include whether the incident was the result of the exclusive negligence of the defendant or more likely the result of the combined negligence of the defendant and injury victim. The value of an injury claim is enhanced if the victim does not have a pre-existing medical history of injury to the same area of the body that was injured in

the incident. The extent, nature and permanence of the injury are also important factors in determining the value of a personal injury claim.
