Insurance Settlement Whiplash
Should I take this accident settlement? Is it fair?
I was in accident half year ago. Another driver rear-ended my car and he got cited for following too close. I had whiplash injury and felt it the next day. My car was totalled. I got a check from the All State insurance (his) in the amount of whats my car worth ($3000) and rental car ($300) and tow ($100).
The medical bill for 2 months whiplash therapy was about $1500.
I got a lawyer and they are working on settlement and the final offer from the All State is $3500. Minus $1500 on medical and $600 for lawyer, I get net $1400 for the accident.
Should I accept this final offer? Is it fair? If not it will take to the court and we can not predict the outcome.
Thanks for your inputs.
Only Dee W, noccie and Johanna have reasonable, and directly answer my question. They got my thumbs up. The others who did not understand english or just chasing points in yahoo answers are pain in the a$$. These people got thumbs down.
Your bills are all paid and you have a little left over. You didn’t get busted up too badly, so you don’t get a big windfall. Take it and move on because your lawyer fees will accumulate rapidly if court is involved. This is not the type of injury where you’d get a large settlement.
