QuestionI was rear ended 3/5/08 by a van owned by a business. The driver is the owner of the business. Ins. policy is $100K. Went to the ER after the accident due to pain in left shoulder. Was in pain pretty much all over. $3500 damage to my car, ended up having shoulder surgery due to rotator cuff tear, was out of work for 7 weeks after the surgery and went for PT for 4 months. What should I expect for a settlement?
AnswerHello Monica,
It is very difficult to give you a number in any Insurance Settlement as I do not have all the facts.
There are many variables (like your state), and how “injured” your medical records show.
In your case, it would be a good idea to ask a local attorney (do not have to retain them; just see what ball park they think your case is at). You case might be worth the 100K, but depending on what the doctors report, it might be worth 25K….
Sorry I cannot be of more help. Do visit this page so you know all the claims you can make so you can increase your Insurance Settlement:
