The value of a Kansas City car accident injury is determined through negotiation between the insurance company and your Missouri car accident attorney. Both your attorney and the insurance adjustor will collect evidence about your accident and about your injury. They will determine who caused the accident, whether you share any liability, how severe your injury is, whether it will have long term effects and how it has affected your ability to earn an income. Based on experience, they will determine how much a jury would be likely to award you should your case go to trial. Then your Kansas City personal injury attorney and the insurance adjustor negotiate an acceptable settlement.

Factors that may affect compensation for a back injury:

• The severity of the car crash
  
• How the accident occurred and who was at fault
• The severity of the injury
• The length of treatment for the injury
• Amount of permanent damage that occurred
• Amount of work was missed because of the injury
• Amount of pay lost because of the injury
• The effect of the injury on your ability to work
• The effect of the injury on your lifestyle

The insurance adjustor's main concern will be to keep damages low. He wants to save his company money. Your Missouri car accident attorney works on a contingency basis, so it is to his benefit to get you a large settlement. He will use his negotiating skills and the threat of a lawsuit to obtain the best possible results for you.
