Calling all personal injury lawyers and paralegals?!?!?
|
My mother just settled her case, she had a car accident (was hit by a truck) and she has 3 bulged disks. The want to settle for $7500. Is this too little of an amount? I have the feeling it should be more because I was in an accident a fews back and the only thing wrong with me was a pinched nerve and whiplash and my case settled for $12,000. Any insight would be great, thanks!

That seems to be a fairly small amount, based upon the bulged discs.
What do her medical records say? Is this pre-existing? Or was this caused by the accident? Will the bulged discs resolve with treatment? If so, how much treatment is required?
DEFINITELY retain an attorney....this seems like a lowball offer. |

Well...how much will she lose in hospital bills, missed work, and legal fees? Bulging disks, from what I know, require extensive and continuous treatment and care. Seems like an unfair price.
But if she already settled her case there is nothing she can do about it now.
**EDIT** Does she have representation?? Her attorney should be asking for much more than $7,500. But ofcourse the defendant's attorney is going to offer far less than the defendant is actually willing to pay. She needs to hire a lawyer if she doesn't already have one. It is a seesaw, plaintiff asks for an insanely high amount, defendant offers an insanely low amount and you meet somewhere in the middle. |

I used to work for a personal injury attorney. It really comes down to how much her bills were and how bad the impact was. If she already settled and signed a release from the insurance company, it is too late to go back and try to get more from the company. I can help you, but i would need more information. If you'd like, you can e-mail me and maybe i can help you or get you set up with the attorney I used to work for. |
