I was injured badly enough to require surgery that I am still not fully recovered from and haven't worked for the past 10 months since the accident. I've lost so much because of someone crashing into us! Time with my son, my family, my job, and a lot of use out of my writing arm.

What makes you think for a second that a damn lawyer will tell you what a 'fair' settlement is? Once they smell blood they can only think about how much they can get out of a case, no matter what you think or say. They don't know the meaning of 'fair'. They only know stall, lie, stall, squirm, stall, pout, scream, threaten, lie some more, etc, etc. It's ALWAYS about themselves 100% of the time. Always try to reach an agreement with the insurance company first. A lawyer should only be a last resort. Just be logical -- add up all tangible expenses and then try to arrive at a practical amount for pain and suffering and start from there. There are a lot of sorry-a** adjusters out there but there are also many, many intelligent, thoughtful and very professional adjusters that will truly attempt to be fair. If you don't like their offer don't yell or threaten to sue -- just tell them and see how it goes. The longer you can keep a civil and logical attitude the better the chances of a good settlement.

There isn't any set cost percent made to any one injuried in an twist of fate. There are provisions to pay for agony and discomfort however do not get the notion you're approximately to hit the lottery. Unless you might have suffered a few primary accidents and would require critical remedies and extra rehab, surgical procedure, and so forth. your cost will probably be minimum. Your nice wager is to try to paintings WITH the claims group vs a combative function. You gets a lot farther preserving a fair call for determine and a groovy head. Always use a attorney as a final, LAST lodge. Despite what they are saying on past due night time neighborhood tv they can't get you ten occasions the cost present, they can't convey the coverage enterprise to their knees (think me, they're NOT frightened of any 2-bit attorney) and they are going to ALWAYS get their part of cash. You are not anything greater than an insect to a attorney and that's precisely how you'll be dealt with. So keep calm, desire for the nice and supply it your nice shot. You can regularly attorney-up if all else fails.

I seriously would contact a lawyer. The insurance company has had you sign a bunch of papers, and you may have signed away a bunch of your rights already.
Get a lawyer, before it is too late.
