You’re gonna hate my answer.

People injured in a car crash always ask the question, “how much is my case worth?” You’re gonna hate my answer.

It depends.

Seriously, that’s the whole reason you hire a good lawyer. Good lawyers know how to investigate a claim, good lawyers know how to plead damages, and good lawyers know how to negotiate with the other side.

Be careful who you choose to take on your case. The attorney/client relationship may be a long-term endeavor. Some cases are resolved in months, while others can take years of complex litigation. Don’t you want to like the person you’re dealing with all the time?
