Q: Hi I've been injured in a car accident the injuries that I sustained were a concussion, left wrist pain that I had
surgery before the accident years ago, whiplash, back pain like muscle spasm, the police report states its 100% the other person fault. My medical bills are $11,627 and my lost wages are $8,880 which would be a total of $20,507 I would have to pay. It's been 5 months since the accident and I suffered through a lot pain with my head which made me had to speak with an neurologist and neuropsychiatrist where I had to get a CT scan and possibly An MRI knowing that I'm looking at a lot bills coming up I would like to know how much my case is worth? And I have liability, underinsured motorist on my policy up to 100k.
A: Without reading your medical records, getting an estimate on future treatment and future medical costs, and future wage loss, any answer would be a guess. I infer that you are pursuing a UIM claim on your own. 99% of the time you will not get a 6 figure settlement on your own. Studies show that plaintiffs with an attorney get more, net in their pocket, than plaintiffs without an attorney. Do yourself a favor and call one. Consultations are free.
Gerald Barry Dorfman agrees with this answer
A: No competent attorney can answer your question without talking to you, and conducting a full review of all your records. Very likely, consultations with experts will also be required. Do not try to handle this yourself. The other side, whether the other driver's insurance company or your own in an under or uninsured motorist action, will have experienced attorneys and experts working very hard to pay you as little as possible. You need serious help on your side. Access to quality personal attorneys is easy; almost all offer free consultations and will represent you without you having to advance any money. Take advantage of the help that is available to you.

The consult to talk to an attorney and ask questions is free, call for someone to help you your legal matter. Glad to here you have UM Coverage and higher limits of 100K and that you already have a police report.
