I am 42 years old and had my first accident a year and a half ago. I rear ended a guy and he had some minor damage to his van(police report estimated $500.00) and the police report stated no injuries. We both drove away, in fact the guy got out of his car to see if I was Ok.
Then I found out that he contacted an attorney who initially asked for $65,000....then it went down to $45,000....then it went down to $18,000. My insurance company, after reviewing records (chiropractor, doctor, mri, etc) offered $5,000.000 and they declined it. I was served a summons a year and a half later.
What should I expect? I am hoping that this doesnt make it to court and will settle out of court but do you think we are past that point??
Oh yeah...one other thing, he was in an accident 9 months before I hit him, so I am not sure how it can be determined that my accident caused him such injury
