Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: United States Already Tried: just being treated.
Your case is worth three times your related medical bills and lost wages. The higher your medical bills and lost wages, the higher your settlement. You maximize your compensation by spending more on medical treatment. Good luck and remember to press accept so that I may get credit.

what about pain and suffering does it count cos i have pain most of the time and the doc says it is going chronic.
You settle for three times the medical bills and lost wages so you can get something for your medical bills and lost wages and your pain and suffering. For example, if you had 10,000 dollars in medical bills and lost wages your case would be worth 30,000 dollars. The first 10,000 dollars is for your medical bills and lost wages. The rest is for your pain and suffering.
