Fcldhcim Attorney at IMW WHAT IS A CASE WORTH? When lawyers estimate the worth of their clients' cases, they usually draw upon their experience with cases, as well as review reports of awards. This is somewhat akin to the survey real estate agents conduct of comparable homes in the neighborhood when setting the price of a home for sale, just as no two homes are exactly the same and therefore worth the same no two casts ait exactly alike. Factors including age, sex, extent of injury and the county in which the case will be filed are important to an evaluation. Wayne County has a reputation for having juries that arc protective.of injured vwrkers. Still, a Wayne County jury expects to see real evidence to support a verdict. If you've been injured due to someone's negligence, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Vat a free consultation, call the LAW OFFICES OF STUART M.
