Motorcycle Accident Attorney Ga
Posted by admin at 4:59 AM. Placed in Uncategorized category
Insurance settlement following motorcycle accident – GA?
The accident was ruled the other driver’s fault. I had three pelvic fractures, dislocated tailbone, and fractured elbow. My health ins isn’t paying, but the med bills have been reduced to the negotiated rate that my ins would normally pay. So my TOTAL OWED is about 2/3′s of the initial total. Since pain & suffering is based on med bills times a multiplier, which amount will the ins co use? The larger total or the negotiated total? An attorney told me that this hospital is notorious for requesting the rest of the owed amount after the settlement has been reached, so obviously, I want the most money that I can get (and 13 weeks missed work!) Thanks
I’ve talked with an attorney, and he gets 1/3. The total coverage is only $50K. So right now I feel like I might come out better trying to negotiate on my own. Is there the possibility of getting more than his max bodily injury coverage using the lawyer? I’m confused.
You can try to negotiated a deal but because the laws or so screwed up and only attorneys can read them………..you are better to stay with an attorney. 1/3 is the allowable by law and if your attorney can get that……….they will. If it’s an open and closed case …………..like it sounds …………… I would negotiate and see if offer is genuine …………… but if it’s not …………. first offer is usually low ………….. all I can suggest is seek legal advice. Unless you really know something about the law ……………. I would advise contacting an attorney .
Check your insurance coverage………. you may be able to file claim for additional coverage thru them. But the max is the max. unless there is additional coverage………..maybe through thier homeowner policy……….it will take a attorney to wangle it out of them.
