Unrealistic expectations regarding the monetary value of a personal injury claim can have significant ramifications on the results of that case.  The injury victim’s failure to appreciate and comprehend the worth of their case can have meaningful, permanent consequences in a variety of ways.  An injured individual who undervalues their case might be induced to accept a low or unreasonably low settlement offer when they may have done better after trial.
