If you were not seriously hurt, they should cover your reasonable expenses and a little jingle for "pain and suffering'. Maybe $1,000

oh lord.. let the uneducated "3 times the medical expenses" answers begin.
Thats so ridiculous and untrue. ANYONE could claim "whiplash" and gather up 15 thousand dollars in chiro bills. You think they would get 45 thousands dollars? Ha... try more like MAYBE 16 thousand (one thousand over medical)
Settlement is NOT based on medical expenses.. its based on extent of injury and permanency. Anyone who says otherwise is very educated in car insurance and shouldnt be misleading people.

It feels like a extraordinarily super contract, yet you'll be able to what to talk inclusive of your chiropractor to boot. he will understand if the contract you agree for will disguise any lingering actual injury to you or your 10 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous's injuries. do no longer permit him bully you into extra therapy when you tell him the quantity you're starting to be nevertheless! i might set up a seek for suggestion from and confirm which you're released from his care in keeping together with his scientific opinion. If he feels the therapy gained could forestall from destiny discomfort, i might settle for and be gracious that the coverage business company is paying so nicely!

The standard rule of thumb is 3-5x medical expenses for 'pain and suffering' but it can vary significantly depending on the type of injury. For example, if you lost a hand it may have only costed $15,000 to "fix", but what will that cost you down the road? Consult a lawyer if your injuries are significant, otherwise stick with 3x.

Contact an attorney. Three to five times the injury amount, and add any time missed from work due to injury, physical therapy and doctor's appts, court time, and etc.
