I had a car accident a few months back and after CT scans, x rays and MRI’s I ended up having 2 slipped discs at L4 and L5 which were hitting my sciatic nerve which gave me such great pain starting from my lower back through my left bottom cheek and straight down my leg to my ankle. I have been going chiro sessions and even though the pain is not as bad as what it was, i still after several months get pain in my ankle and lower back. I have seeked legal advice against the driver who hit me from the rear and am dealing with a solicitor who mentioned this type of injury is substantial and considering i am only 25 years old have a whole lifetime of working, I havent had any children yet and that this will bring me trouble in the future. My chiro also said that once discs have slipped you can not fix them. For this type of injury what would be an appropriate payout figure, I have never done this before and obviously do not want to be out of pocket later on down the track for any medical sessions I need. Has anyone had anyone in a similar situation and what was the offer made my insurance. I really am not one of those people that sue for the hell of it and am not abusing the system. I have genuine injuries and why should it come out of my pocket when i was hit by the car?
Are you thinking about selling your home yourself? then
If you have spoken with a lawyer they should have told you what they thought your case was worth.
Each injury claim is evaluated and no two are alike. Therefore, no one can tell you how much you can expect to settle for.
Many different factors are taken into consideration, How the accident occured, what type of cars were involved, how much damage was there, how long you have been treating and w/ what type of treatment, even where you live, are a few examples.
If your claim is legit, you can expect to get the cost of your medical bills and maybe a few extra hundred for "pain and suffering." But the other company is not going to settle with you until you are completely done with treatment.
