What's a fair amount for an auto car accident?

Question

I had an accident that was minor but had $1650.00 worth of medical bills. What is a fair amount to accept from the adjuster? Car was paid for.

Answer 1

Not enough info. The major question is whether there will be any future medical issues or permanent residual disability. Other matters are how much work you lost; your transport costs; whether your medicals were covered by insurance that must be repaid, etc.

The adjuster represents the insurance company; not you. His job is to get away with paying the least amount possible; he is trained to do that & his salary & promotions depend on it.

You should at least consult with an attorney with whom you can discuss all the facts.

Answer 2

$1650.00, maybe a couple hundred for your pain suffering, lost wages (if applicable). That's not a whole lot of medical bills especially if you took an ambulance to the ER. Be thankful car was paid for.

Answer 3

Each state is different, maybe a lawyer that would take your case for a % of the settlement

Answer 4

Fair is what the adjuster thinks it is.

Answer 5

$ 1650.00.
