Motor Vehicle Accident Settlements
Motor Vehicle Accident Settlement question?
I was in a car wreck on Fathers Day,
I was at major 4 way light intersection turning left when a lady from across the way ran a red light and hit me going about 50 mph in a 35, my car was hit on the passenger side and spun 360 degrees. I dont remember alot of it cause I was knocked out. I was rushed to the hospital. The lady is a 67 year old and claims fault, I was told I should still look into hiring a lawyer. Why would I need a lawyer if she admits she did wrong??? Also, the lady and I both have state farm for insurance and state farm told me how the process will work and after all the dr visits the claims dept and I will discuss a “pain and suffering” amount. What would be a good amount????
You don’t want or need a lawyer (yet). State Farm will be offering you a settlement. If you don’t accept or can’t negotiate a better settlement, you can THEN hire a lawyer. A lawyer will take a third + plus expenses and will likely end up with more that you get.
There is no “set” amount for pain and suffering. Did (do) you have pain? Did (do) you suffer?
