Ok, long story short I was hit head on by a drunk driver, he died on the scene. My car was totaled, I had 2 broken bones and had surgery on 2 disks in my back, upper and lower. My medical bills are 0,000 and my attorney is about to send off the demand letter to the insurance company. Their policy is 0,000. My attorney has said he is asking for the whole policy but what is a real figure I might get?

Not trying to get rich but i have small kids and I need to think about the future. I am 32.

They offered ,000 when my bills were about ,000, but I elected to have surgery because I was still in pain. The doctors had recommended surgery all along but I was afraid.

Thanks all, I really appreciate it.
Sorry, they offered ,000 before the surgeries. Not 50. That was a typo.

Ok, long story short, 2 years ago, i was hit head on by a drunk driver. Multiple fractures, herniated discs, was out of work for about 3 months. I have had 2 surgeries on my disc herniations. The other drive was at fault, died on the scene. He had 0,000 coverage. I have an attorney and he is about to send the final demand letter to the insurance company.

My bills are 5,000. This does not include the k already paid by my insurance company (I am in Florida)

They initially made an offer of between 50k to 90k. But that was before the surgeries.

In your opinions, what amount do you think this settlement will be? The attorney is demanding the whole policy (0,000) but I don’t think it will be the whole thing.

Thanks!

My auto accident was in October. When I call my lawyer to get a status. They just tell me they send the demand letter in January. How long will State Farm take? Is there a time frame they have to answer by?

Does anyone know the time frame that these things take? All I know is my lawyer sent State Farm a demand letter on April 9, about the accident that took place early last year. Do they usually take awhile to respond? Does state farm them give my lawyer a number, or is this for something else?

Any help would be appreciated. Lawyer of course does not tell me anything.

i sent my insurance company a demand letter for my personal injury from an auto accident with an uninsured motorist that wasnt my fault. i gave them permission to obtain all medical reports and have sent them all the bills i have received so far. i sent them a demand and i was wondering how long i had to wait for them to respond. any info will help thanks!

I have a lawyer who is handling my accident case. Lawyer’s employee has written a rough draft of my demand letter to seek my compensation. However, I notice that the employee has missed around 00 worth of my medical expenses.

Clearly, I’m going to point this out to the lawyer’s assistant, but how do I express my disappointment in this kid of huge inaccuracy? I feel as though the lawyer should apologize and maybe they should compensate me for making this kind of inaccuracy. (Since I’m paying the lawyer, it should not be my job to check their work. In doing so, spending several hours)

I was in an auto accident where the other was found liable. I have a lawyer and he sent out a demand letter & the adjuster came back ,500 but my laywer said no and demanded policy limit of ,000. Today he sent out something about suing the estate (the man who hit me died in the accident) so he can’t be sued and no one has his estate, it’s in the county’s hands. my laywer said he had to publish this in the newspaper in case someone comes forward to claim the estate. He is hoping this will push the adjuster to give the limit and if not he will take it to trial. I really don’t understand what all this means and when I ask my laywer I don’t understand him either and I hate to keep asking him. Can someone break this down and tell me what is going on here. Thank you.
NO…that barely even covers medical bill.

Can I drop my lawyer if I hired one to help me with my car accident lawsuit?
The lawyer I have is not moving fast enough for me. Can I call the at-fault-party’s insurance company myself and see if they will settle for 15,000 dollars? At first they offered me 5,000 dollars and thats when I hired an attorney.
I suffered a miscarraige because of the car accident and was hit by a drunk driver. My lawyer sent a demand letter to the insurance company for the amount of 25,000 dollars, but we got no response. And the state of GA does not compensate someone for the death of a fetus or embryo.

The accident happened around the beginning of last year. I feel like I’m bugging my attorney but, I don’t understand the timeline of it all! He sent the demand letter to the Insurance company on June 5th and said they had 10 days to respond! Well, it’s been more than 10 days and I’m getting anxious! I have moved out of the state the accident occured in and am having trouble transfering my treatment to where I live now. I have had cervical spinal fusion and have to go have rhizotomys done every six months for gosh knows how long! I just don’t want to bother my Attorney was hoping for some feed back! Oh, and does the amount of your medical bills contribute to how much they’ll offer? Mine at this point are over 0,000.00
If I wait until I am done treating, I will never close my case! According to both my neck surgeon and my pain manangement Doctor, it looks like I have to go in every 6 months to a year to have Rhizotomy’s done on my back, bilateral on 3 levels, for the rest of my life. My Neck surgeon wants me to have them done on my neck but, I’m not healing from these as fast as I should! I also have irreversable nerve damage on my left side. My attorney did not request documentation for lost wages or any other things. He said we have enough with my medical bills and future treatments. The Semi driver’s coverage is a single limit 1Mil. Which I am told is all we can go after! But, just in future Rhizotomy’s we are looking at over 300,000. If I only live until 63. It’s just frustrating and I feel like I’m annoying my attorney, I know he gets 1/3 but, I’m not the type that likes to be considered a pain in the butt.
