In the attached video, experienced San Diego car accident attorney Elliot Kanter breaks down a question many clients ask right away: What is my case worth? While it's natural to want immediate answers, Kanter emphasizes that every case is unique—and that a true case value can only be assessed after a thorough understanding of your injuries, expenses, and how the accident has impacted your life.
After a serious car accident, you may be entitled to several types of compensation, and Kanter carefully explains the two main categories: economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are easier to quantify and include things like medical bills (both current and future) and lost earnings. Whether you’re salaried, hourly, or self-employed, those income losses are important to calculate accurately.
But the most significant part of your case often lies in non-economic damages—and this is where the real depth of your experience is considered. Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent scarring, or disability—all these factors contribute to your claim’s full value. Kanter highlights how even injuries that seem similar on the surface can have vastly different outcomes depending on how they impact a person's lifestyle, family, and mental well-being.
