I was hit by a driver on the freeway in California. I sustained $8,656.00 in medical bills as a result of my injuries. Today the adjuster offered me a settlement for the amount of $18,156.00. HOWEVER, he broke the settlement down reflecting an error in my total medical bills showing a total of $14,656. The error is clear.
My question is two fold. Could the adjuster have done this on pupose? I am okay with the final sum amount, but NOT how they broke it down. $3500 for pain and suffering is rediculously low, but again the end number, be it incorrect would be fine.
Also, should I accept this final offer amount, can they come back against me and say oooops, we made a mistake, you owe us? The settlement has clearly been broken down, soI am aware of the error. Can and will this matter.
Someone told me this is might be a slick move adjusters use. He predicted that before he sends me the release of claim, he will "discover" the error and bind me to my agreement based on $3500 PS?
