A very visible, red, raised keloid scar on my wife's forearm is the last part of an insurance settlement from a car accident in June. Our claims adjuster asked us to think about things like embarassment being seen with the scar, having to change her wardrobe to all longsleeved clothes to cover the scar, pain, permanance or persistence of the scar and future possible surgery to revise the scar when we think about what amount of a settlement to expect. One website suggest a rule-of-thumb of 1.5 to 3.0 times the amount of the medical expenses for the accident. We've never been through this before and have no idea of what is fair.
