Is this a fair amount? My lost wages over 1000. thanks for any info
A: I would suggest you talk to an attorney and not post more about your claim. It may be a fair amount. But hard to tell based upon what you have explained. A good attorney should tell you if this is a fair amount and if not why- without charging you.for an initial consulatation. If this happened in Tennessee you need to be careful about the statute of limitations- which is one year for personal injury.
