If your insurance policy has uninsured motorist coverage, you can generally collect for the same elements of damage that you could if the person that hit you was caught and had insurance. This means that, generally, you can collect for your medical bills, lost time from work, and any pain and suffering you incurred and will incur as a result of the accident.
If you are in pain, go to a doctor immediately. Your failure to seek immediate medical care when you are in pain may be used against you.
Insurance companies are in the business of making money for their shareholders. Despite what they may tell you, they do not have your best interest in mind. The offer is probably the lowest offer they think you will accept. One trick is for an insurance company to offer you a strange figure (example $2,749.48). They are hoping that you will think they made some type of calculation through a formula to arrive at this figure. There is no specific formula for determining the value of a personal injury case. An offer of a strange figure is most likely a psychological trick to make you think there is a specific formula and that is all you are entitled to.
There is no set amount that every individual who files a personal injury case will receive. The amount will vary based on your injury, medical bills, loss of income, and other factors.
This can vary depending on the severity of your injury or injuries, among other factors. You won’t want to settle your claim until you’ve received proper medical care, so the longer your injuries take to heal, the longer it may take to settle your claim and receive appropriate compensation.
From the minute the accident occurs, the insurance company is investigating the occurrence. They are attempting to gather any evidence that will lower their exposure to a potential claim. By contacting a lawyer immediately, you will have someone working for you and gathering evidence on your behalf. Remember: unlike an insurance company, your automobile accident lawyer has your best interest in mind.
