A little over a year and a half ago, my spouse and I where hit by an oncoming car. My spouse had some minor neck pain which subsided about a week later, however my pain lasted about a year and three or four months. I went to the ER, six months of physical therapy, several visits to message therapy and about five months of visits to the chiropractor. The offender’s insurance accepted full liability. My Current medical bills amount to about $8,600. I have been sent to collections and have been having to pay these bills out of pocket. Also, I had many sleepless nights due to my injuries, not to mention the accident occurred three months after my wedding. How much would be suitable to settle for?

7 months ago I was in a car accient. my car was totalled. The other party’s insurance company admitted the girl was at fault (she pulled out of a parking lot straight into the passenger side of my car). I was the only one hurt. Had bad bruises on my chest and sore. Tore ligament in my wrist and got tendinitis too. They have paid all my time off, paid the car total amount, paid my out of pockets. The Kaiser medical bill they will have to pay willb e about $6000. I had numerous doctor visits, 2 casts, 2 cortisone injections, numerous pain meds, physical therapy, 1 MRI, and several xrays. I was in pain for about 6 months (still kinda bothers me still but doc has signed off).
Now is coming time — insurance is saying they are working on a settlement offer for Pain & Suffering. What would you think is a fair settlement offer?
PS I do not want to get a lwayer with his 1/3 fee involved at all!
