A: Unfortunately, this is impossible to answer without reviewing your medical records and bills, the police report, etc. You may also have future medical issues that need to be addressed for which you should be compensated for. Again, every case is different and depends on a lot of different factors.

A: There’s a good chance that if your damages are substantial the insurance company would pay more to settle if you were represented by an experienced attorney. It’s worth contacting an attorney to discuss.
