Auto Accident Settlements
My wife and I were involved in an auto accident 9 months ago. I have been released by my doctor and have been offered a settlement by the other person's insurance company (she was at fault). My medical bills total approximately $2,100.00. The offer is to pay the medical bills, $868.00 for lost wages, and an additional $2,500.00. I have heard that the offer should be 3X medical. Is this still true or is the above offer acceptable? Also, my wife may have a permanent injury. Is the formula for permanent injuries still 3X? Her medical bills are about $7,000 right now. I am considering getting a lawyer for her since she has alot more things to be taken into consideration than I do. Thanks.
