MİLYON DOLAR İLE BİN DOLARLIK DAVA ARASINDAKİ FARK NEDİR?

When people think of accident lawsuits, they often think in terms of big money. "Don't sue for five thousand dollars... sue for five million!" We live in a society where a million dollars seems like a nice, round number. But the truth is that many minor lawsuits out there settle for less than $20,000. So, then what is it that makes a million-dollar case? Is it the right set of facts, the skills of the attorney, strong evidence, or plain old luck? Well, maybe it's a combination of ALL those things.

If you ask someone what makes a million-dollar case, they might think of things like the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit (See - https://www.communityabroad.com/turkish/post/1000000050212 . Or they might think of pharmaceutical drugs that cause harmful side-effects, or maybe a city bus hitting a pedestrian on a snowy day. It doesn't matter what the setting is. All accidents are similar in a fundamental way. They have two basic elements. The first element is that you must prove FAULT. The second is that you must prove DAMAGES.

All accidents are similar in terms of these two basic elements. However, there could be big differences in terms of injuries. A small, slow-speed accident could result in minor soft-tissue injuries (See YUMUŞAK DOKU ZEDELENMESİ : SOFT-TİSSUE INJURİES - https://www.communityabroad.com/turkish/post/1000000049300 , that heal in a few days. No treatment is required, and a few aspirin do the job. On the other hand, a more serious accident at highway speed could require surgery and months of rehabilitative therapy. This means more serious DAMAGES.

So let's say the victim proves the other side was at fault. And let's say they prove their injuries were serious because they missed six months of work. Will this make for a million dollar lawsuit, or is there more to it? The answer is that many other factors are also involved. It could depend on the preparation of the attorney. It could depend on the nation, the province, the district, the state, and even the city.

It could depend on the other side's insurance. If the other side doesn't have insurance, that could be the end of lawsuit. There are also factors that could be seen as luck. A surprise witness comes forward to help your case. If there is no video evidence, that testimony from the witness could make or break your case. The jury also makes a difference. Some jurors are more sympathetic than others. If the person is lucky, they could be in a trial where jurors have lots of compassion.

So in the end, one thing is clear. Part of winning that million dollar lawsuit is like a game of chess. It takes strategy and planning to think two moves ahead on the chessboard. But part of winning that lawsuit is also like going to a casino in Las Vegas and rolling the dice. Some things are within your control, and some things are not. An experienced attorney focuses on the things that CAN be controlled.

Good Luck - Kendinize İyi Bakın
