These injuries could impact you for the rest of your life and you need to make sure you choose an experienced personal injury firm like Colonna Law Firm, LLC to guide you through this process.

How much are my injuries worth?

Just like there are many types of injuries, damage awards change with each injury. The severity of the injury and treatment of that injury are two primary variables. The impact on your life during treatment as well as after treatment is some other necessary factor to analyze. Your lost wages and lost future wages can combine with millions of dollars.
