Pedestrian Accident Case Value

Answer:

How do you determine the value of a pedestrian injury claim in Idaho? Pedestrian injuries are really not terribly different than other types of negligence caused or at-fault injuries. The question is, what are your damages? Damages are made up of different components.

Your medical bills, of course, are part of your damages. To the extent you lost work in the past from the time of the wreck forward until we resolve the case, those wage losses are a part of your damages. To the extent you are going to or it is more likely than not that you are going to lose work into the future, those costs make up part of your damages. To the extent it’s likely that you’re going to incur medical expenses in the future, those costs are also part of your damages.

To the extent you had to get help performing tasks around the house, those are part of your damages. To the extent you’ve suffered pain at the time of the wreck or chronically thereafter, a value for that pain is part of your damages. To the extent you suffered worry, concern, anxiety, uncertainty, all the things that you might expect after an injury accident in Boise, Idaho, the jury or those who resolve the case are expected to place a fair value on that. Your damages can be made up of many other things, but those are the basic items that make up a standard damages claim.
