Well if it was SERIOUS, he would have gotten a lawyer to negate..
Seeing he DOESNT, I'll assume its NOT as serious seeing he didnt have to have surgery JUST physical therapy..
If it was a serious case, they would have had a offer out the gate..
They wanna see how "hurt" he is and pay accordingly..
I haven't read past the first two posts so I might be missing some details...
You taking it to trial? You gotta take into account that if you are gonna represent yourself there is the likelihood that a settlement wont be reached anytime soon and even worse, you might not get anything.
Most people just file the claim under their insurance company who in turn will go after the breh that hit your car, (in some instances injured brehs just file a claim against the breh-that-hit-you's insurance company).
The reason for the latter is that most people don't have the time or energy to take shyt to trial, especially when you gotta consider the possibility of not getting anything at all. Plus the last thing an insurer wants is to have a case go to trial because its just unpredictable...manage risk and and minimizing costs breh
Ok so lettuce say you wanna milk this shyt for what its worth regardless...ya got two categories...General Damages and Special Damages
Calculating General Damages is weird...one method is easy, but should require legal representation to realistically succeed...the other requires math
The other method involves adding up your special damages and multiplying them against a multiplier...nothing crazy
but a multiplier sumn like the 1.25-5 range is what i've seen...obviously 5 is on some "my life aint neva gon be the same mayne :totheeastside:" shyt but hey do you....personally don't try to go OD here because the multiplier is a point of contention for the defendant and plaintiff
Just remember, there is a general rule of thumb that going the insurer route is safe but also is cheating yourself because they wanna settle for as little as possible...plus they believe that most nikkas are crying wolf...but if you're really trying to get yours...legal representation and all the documentation needed is a good way to go..
The good thing is that you can go the safe insurer route...get a shytty settlement offer and reject it...
That's where counter-negotiations come into play in addition to a demand letter comes into play...(the letter that goes to the insurer that will handle and settle your claim:umadcac
there should be enough shyt codified to tell you how to write one nikka.
@TheodoreBrehIII should concur

Ok so lettuce say you wanna milk this shyt for what its worth regardless...ya got two categories...General Damages and Special Damages
- Special Damages are those that can be quantified...like medical bills, quotes for your busted whip, lost wages, so on and so forth...easy as long as you have the supporting documentation;
- General Damages are those more subjective problems that arise from being a victim of irresponsible ass drivers...like pain and suffering, psychological trauma, etc....pain and suffering is a typical one since for people who are not at fault in these instances, its easy to argue how their quality of life has diminished...just remember that its reciprocal to the extent of the injury/accident...don't be expectin' early retirement nikka

Time to go!!
. Damn when unsaid I'll be finishing up therapy in two weeks I though you was already a couple weeks in. You should still get some money though. My broad missed about a month and got 6 I but it wasn't her car, and I don't think the car had insurance and it definitely ain't have pip. She didn't have surgery just did physically therapy for her back.Did you pee on yourself? I heard if u pee yourself that gets you more money.

I Got Game
don't really wanna hire a lawyer. i already have the new car squared away. i finish with my physical therapy in 2 weeks. i just wanna make sure i don't say anything that will cause them to give my settlement the
You shoulda got a lawyer. No insurance company will take you seriously without one. Generally you get a 3rd along with the lawyer and doctor. But you shoulda went to a lwayer before a doctor.
My lawyer recommended a doctor for me. Doc was like damn a lawyer himself, schooled me to the game.
You should be going to the doctor for much longer. The higher the medical bill, the more you get.
It's not too late though. Go to a lawyer tell him you need more treatment. Run that bill up. Plus if you're seeing the lawyer's doctor you won't have to worry about paying anything until you get the settlement.
Yeah, nikka go get a lawyer.
yes to all of those. and i wouldn't even be lying about the anxiety. i get slightly shook on the freeway now
breh since my accident in 2013 when i almost died, I don't even drive at night anymore, nor take back streets. And it's been nearly 2 years, that black ice got me never again

there are other circumstances, such as his wife and kids were inconvenienced, although he can work his knee or back etc. may be in constant pain.

Stop posting on the coli, erase everything you posted about the accident. I had an insurance company's investigators run my email through other measures and found my posts on a car forum just to see if claims about my car being stolen in East Orange were true. Thank goodness I had nothing incriminating on the forum. I ended up getting the car fixed (new bumper, locks, rims, stereo, steering wheel, paint job), but the police report that was filled out said I had 7 Sony Vaios laptops, 3 playstations, and other valueables which the insurance company paid for

I doubt he'd be able to argue that point better than a lawyer tho..
I really didnt get into the detailed aspect because its all relative..
Sounds like he was just in a fender bender..
If there was no actually detriment to his well being..he's not getting much..
Lotta courts look as these car accident cases like-
Couldnt find gif of this..
