Specifically in California, how does the attorney determine how much to sue for? Does anyone know the outcome of cases of improper administration of Kenalog resulting in subcutaneous atrophy? Assuming the case does not go to trial, how does the physician's insurance company come up with a counter offer to settle?
Thanks!

If it is an out of court settlement they determine it by the persons age, amount of disability, and work history. They try to determine approximately what that person would have made for the remainder of their life, how much of a psycological effect it's had since the incident on them and they're family. The insurance company will come up with a number determined by how much they feel is appropriate with taking much of the above into consideration. In some states if you have a strong case it's best to go to trial because they don't have a cap on malpractice awards. Contact a lawyer and they'll be able to help you a lot more.

What every the plaintiff can convince a jury to award. It has very little to do with actual 'value' of case.

it depend on what state you live in the federal government been cracking down on awarding big medical law sue because of doctors not wanting to set their practice in some state who allow that.

that is somewhat unusual, yet no longer that unusual. those matches are for a severe harm, yet injuries heal over 5 years. possibly the criminal professional acknowledges that observing a now healthy plaintiff will detract from the actuality that she changed into before putting on for existence.
