There is no way for any attorney to credibly tell you what your case is worth without reviewing your medical records. I have also never seen a case where someone got more without a lawyer than they would with an attorney. The insurance company almost always low-balls people. I know a great lawyer in NJ that will review your case for free. If you want a recommendation give me a call.
