1. Do I have a claim?

Successful personal injury claims generally require the presence of three things, among others: (1) liability; (2) damages, which may include past and future medical bills, lost wages, and present and future pain and suffering due to your physical or mental condition; and (3) a source of payment from whom you can collect your damages. If these three elements are present in your case, you have a case you and your attorney probably will want to pursue.

5. How much is my claim worth?

Many factors determine the value of a claim. For example, in auto accident cases, factors such as your age, your earning history, the seriousness of the injury, and the degree of the other person's negligence are some of the factors considered in determining a fair compensation. At Bober & Bober, P.A., we will discuss all the relevant factors with you throughout the progression of your case. Our only goal, however, is to help you achieve the maximum recovery possible under the facts of your particular claim.
