Thank you jmayer5025 for your reply. I already have an attorney and after a year of the insurance company denying my claims, this attorney got a reconstructionist company to look at my case, because in Colorado you have to prove the liablitiy of the other person, especially when the cops don’t give out a ticket. This company wrote a complimentary letter stating 100% of the liablitiy was this girl’s. So now the insurance compnay wants us to put together a settlement amount to present them with & not file the lawsuit right now. We have a great chance to settle very soon, but I know I need to have money for a future surgery and ongoing therapy and medications probably for the rest of my life. My spine doc said for me to use therapy and anything else to help me cope with pain until I can’t ake anymore & then surgery. This is because I am only 36 & in good shape, the advise me to try & cope as long as possible as there are new alternatives delveloping. I don’t want to be fused.

How much of a personal injury settlement can my attorney keep?
I was involved in a car accident and substained injury to my knee. I was awarded $25,000 for pain and suffering. My attorney is giving me $6,500, keeping 75%! This seems ridiculously high, how much can lawyers charge? I was under the impression that no more than 35%.
How much should I ask for in car accident settlement?
My SUV was rear-ended by a tractor trailer on an interstate off ramp 3 months ago. I’m 34 & this was my 1st accident ever. My bumper only had $800 worth of damage. My 10-yr old daughter, 5-yr old son, and I went to the emergency room the next day because we had severe neck & back pain. We were diagnosed with muscle spasm. Two weeks later, my daughter & I started chiropractic care because our pain had not subsided. We went to the chiropractor for 2 months. My daughter has completely recovered and I only have mild pain in my neck when I turn it. How much should I ask for in my insurance settlement with the trucker’s company? (I live in N.Carolina)

How much am I really entitled to in a personal injury car accident?
I was in a car accident about 5 months ago. A truck ran a red light and T-boned my car at about 35 mph. I suffered whiplash, missed work, couldn’t do what I was planning on doing for vacation later on that same week. I have about $5800 in medical bills and another 1000 in lost wages. The insurance company wants to give me 2000 on top of my medical bills. It seems kind of low. I was expecting more like 8 grand on top since I was told I’m entitled to 3 times the amount. I have read up on how insurance companies want to save a buck and I’m not trying to rip them off, but I do expect to get compensated for the pain and suffering I went through as well as missing time from work and a wasted vacation. I’m trying to only use a lawyer as a last resort. Any suggestions on how much I should get?
How much should I expect my accident settlement to be?
I was in an accident at 35 weeks pregnant. Lady ran a red light and hit me, her insurance company accepted full liability. I was admitted to the hospital for a night, got the scare of almost having an emergency c-section (thankfully did not have to), had to miss a week of work, had to go to follow up ultrasound at a peri-natologist. My medical bills were about 10,000. How much should I expect for my settlement?
How much did you recieve from your car accident settlement?
I am curious. I was in an accident my car was totaled out. I have suffered from neck, shoulder and lower back pain as well as nerve damage in my leg. Fortunately I can still walk. I also suffer from panic attacks while driving on the freeway. What would my settlement look like?
How much should I ask for in a personal injury auto accident?
The other driver is at fault and has state farm insurance.
I suffered a sprained ankle, broken arm at wrist (ulna) and have 3% whole body disability from a neck injury (has bone spur contributed to accident that causes neck and arm pain). I’m out approximately 3000$ in lost wages.
I was working at the time (driver) and it is workmans comp so vehicle repair and doctor bills are to be paid to my employer. My case is with the other driver in this case not work comp.
Please do not simply advise to get a lawyer.
Also I live in Tennessee so theres not many million dollar cases won here for these types of cases. I want to be fair anyway so that wouldn’t be something I would want. I also don’t want to sell myself short as I am soul bread winner for my family.
I’m going to try and get state farm to pay workmans comp there part so they won’t be coming to me for payment. Also thanks for the answers so far but as for the part about getting a lawyer I’m very aware of reasons to have one. I simply want all the info I can get up front as if I was handling it myself.
How much can I expect for my personal injury settlement?
I was in a car accident (I was stopped and a girl hit me at full speed). I sustained a back injury. I had severe pain and have seen a chiropractor 3 times a week for one month and 2 times a week for one month. It is finally starting to get better (though there are certain ways I sit it still hurts). I was just wondering if anyone can tell me a rough idea of how much to expect in a settlement.
How much “pain and suffering” money to expect from an insurance settlement?
My wife was hit by another car about a year ago. She broke two fingers, which sounds trivial, but they were broken quite badly. She had one surgery where pins were inserted to heal the bones, and another to extract scar tissue that was limiting her movement. She was in hand therapy for a year, but she still doesn’t have anything close to full movement in the hand with the broken fingers — sometimes she needs help cutting a piece of chicken at dinner and things like that.
I estimate that the insurance company paid out about $20k for the hand therapy and another $20k for the various surgeries and doctor’s visits.
I assume they’ll be offering a pain and suffering settlement in the near future. How much should we expect? How will we know if they’re lowballing us? If I’m pretty sure they are trying to screw us over, is it acceptable to tell them we’ll get a lawyer if their offer isn’t more reasonable?
Question to reece010: Is that 50k on top of the medical bills (if the medical bills are 40k)? Or does that include the bills?
In response to questions:
1) Is she left or right handed?
Right.
2) Which hand was injured?
The ring and pinky fingers on her left hand. (And movement on the middle finger is also limited.)
3) Does she work outside of the home?
She’s in college and will work outside the home in the future.
4) What is the prognosis for a complete recovery?
Not going to improve further. It may in fact worsen in time.
5) Does she have scarring?
There’s a thin scar running down her ring finger, which was broken the worst.
6) Age?
24.
7) Attractive? (relevant for scarring)
Her hands were fine before, now the fingers are *slightly* mangled, enlarged, and lightly scarred.
Trouble completing her daily activities?
Initially yes, now it’s only occasional tasks like cutting a piece of meat. She’s figured out how to drive and type well enough.
9) Whole or partial AMA disability rating?
I doubt there would be one.
