I was in a car wreck a few months ago, and was wondering how much compensation I deserve. I was blind sided by I guy driving a van in the wrong lane. He was going 45-50 when he struck me and was obviously cited. He did not have any insurance therefore mine paid to fix my car. I had two doctor visits and a severely sprained neck. I had a laceration on my head also. I still have back and neck pain as I am sure you would imagine I would receive from a blow like that. My insurance company is going to give me a compensation check, they offered me 600.00 which I feel is an ABSOLUTE insult. What kind of numbers should I request? (500.00 dollars towing + 400.000 deductible + inconvenience etc…)

You should contact a lawyer. $600 is totally unreasonable. I would say that $2500 is the absolute minimum that you should consider. You have bills for towing, buying a new car, lost work, and medical expenses. Contacting a lawyer will show that you mean business and maybe will get you a better deal. If not, I would definitely consider legal action to recover at least your expenses (not including any pain and suffering) incurred as a result of this accident.

Call a lawyer, they will give you a consultation for free and if you hire him/her, they will get you the compensation you deserve. Good luck and I hope you feel better- by the way, your neck injury has just started- I was in a car accident 23 years ago and after nerve blocks, physical therapy, chiropractic therapy, it is getting worse. Dont be in a hurry to settle quickly, you will be doing yourself an injustice. PS your compensation is usually double your medical expenses ++

Maybe it is just u missing her! check (on bible) Ecclesiastes 9:5 .... the dead are conscious of nothing at all... but there is a hope for the dead check John 5:28,29 do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out , those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things for a resurrection of judgment! so have faith!! Revelations 20:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be NO MORE, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, The former things have passed away. if u want more info email me!

most of the time insurance companies pay only on the damages incurred, or just how much you need to pay for the repair.. so if they assessed the damages done to the vehicle , and they came up with a repair cost, that will probably be the amount you are likely to get...
in actual fact, that fellow who caused your damages should be the one paying. You should get that guy to pay for everything.. keep all that bills and get the fellow...
