Calling adjectives personal injury lawyer and paralegals?!?!?
My mother just settled her case, she have a car accident (was hit by a truck) and she have 3 bulged disks. The want to settle for $7500. Is this too little of an amount? I have the feeling it should be more because I be in an accident a fews rear legs and the only thing wrong near me was a pinched nerve and whiplash and my skin settled for $12,000. Any insight would be great, thanks!
Answers:
That seem to be a fairly small amount, based upon the bulged discs.
What do her medical documents say? Is this pre-existing? Or was this cause by the accident? Will the bulged discs resolve with treatment? If so, how much treatment is required?
DEFINITELY retain an attorney....this seem like a lowball offer.
Well...how much will she lose in hospital bills, missed work, and legal fees? Bulging disks, from what I know, require extensive and continuous treatment and supervision. Seems like an unfair price.
But if she already settled her overnight case there is nothing she can do roughly speaking it now.
**EDIT** Does she have representation?? Her attorney should be asking for much more than $7,500. But ofcourse the defendant's attorney is going to grant far less than the defendant is actually likely to pay. She needs to hire a attorney if she doesn't already have one. It is a seesaw, plaintiff asks for an insanely high amount, defendant offer an insanely low amount and you meet somewhere in the middle. Source(s): Paralegal
I used to work for a personal injury attorney. It really comes down to how much her bills were and how unpromising the impact was. If she already settled and signed a release from the insurance company, it is too late to step back and try to get more from the company. I can minister to you, but i would need more information. If you'd like, you can e-mail me and possibly i can help you or get you set up beside the attorney I used to work for.
