Answer:
Valuating a car accident injury depends on a number of factors. Although no particular formula or calculator can give you an exact sum, you can determine an estimate by knowing what factors are quantified. If there is a question of fault, or if you contributed in any way to the accident, your comparative negligence may diminish your compensation depending on what state law applies. Another important factor that will be considered is your immediate medical expense. The more severe your injuries, the more likely your compensation will be increased. Also calculated is any future medical treatments you may need. If your injuries prevent you from returning to work, then lost wages and income are factored in. Some states consider pain and suffering as well as the diminishment in the quality of life.
Talk to an Accident Attorney to get an approximate valuation of your car accident injuries, and find out what legal options are available to you.
Good luck.
