Doesn't your attorney have a ballpark figure?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 894431No PI attorney worth his salt would give his client a "ballpark figure". It's not worth anything until someone's willing to settle or a jury renders a verdict. The OP doesn't give enough info to truly value it. For instance, where will the jury pool be drawn from? What does OP do for a living? What does the defendant do for a living? Does Defendant or OP look like a scumbag or upstanding citizen? Was anyone drinking? What kind of vehicles were the OP and the Defendant driving? Did the OP or the Defendant have political or otherwise offensive/divisive bumper stickers on their vehicles and did those stickers make it into the photos of the vehicle damage which might be introduced as evidence at a trial? I could think of about a hundred other questions such a this which will all factor in to what a jury might award which is the starting point where insurers determine what to pay. That being said though if there is no unusual factors present I would suggest that 3x past medicals plus 1.5x estimated future medicals would be a good guess. BrianMoran, a former Plaintiffs PI attorney Quoting: BrianMoranI agree.I was hit by a kid.I am 52,no bumber stickers,really does not mean much.But what does matter,is I was at zero fault.No points or tickets in well over ten years.My son is a honor roll kiddo.The police wave to me. Its just a matter of how much coverage he has and I have. The kid family own a auto collision business.This I know because he kindly offered to fix my car for free.But I was injured.I could not function the next day.So I called a attorney.Not a goodd one.He dropped my case.which is good.He wanted 40 percent of the settlement.Then everything changes.The doctors began to believe me,Then came the surgery. Its a very young careless driver who admitted brake failure.weather or not that was true,I have no idea. If it goes to trail,and I think it wont,The insurance company may have to pay more then policy limits.I know medicare wants its money back because of the careless driving of the defendant. As I mentioned before my attorney is both a doctor and lawyer.If she is willing to go to trial,and she is.I am sure its a solid case.
