re: What's the most money you received from a car accident?

One of the major problems with the cost of auto liability coverage in our state is this:

1) tons of uninsured drivers who get away with no coverage; and,

2) the fact that a defendant in a civil matter is not entitled to a jury trial if the matter in dispute is less than $50,000. This leaves the case up to the elected judge who is many times a trial lawyer stooge and he can “suggest” appropriate settlement numbers slanted towards the plaintiff (and the lawyer).

Louisiana has the highest threshold amount for a civil jury trial in the US and the majority of the rest of the states are a fraction thereof. That is our problem.

Oh, and drive through daiquiri shops. Jeebus.

She is doing the best she can basically for her youngest daughter. But she is in counseling and on meds. And has to take off work for several days when one of their birthdays comes up or it is the anniversary of their death.

Article is written terribly but has some good points

shite you don't have to be unrepresented. i don't really advertise my PI stuff much and adjusters offer me a sweet early settlement deal of $500 + meds on the few PI cases i handle

I received a decent amount of money. Hit by a car thrown onto another car. Broken jaw and they feared fractured neck at first, so spent the night in the hospital. Several procedures to fix bite and orevent TMJ issues from the broken jaw. Facial scarring neck, pain for a year, etc. Insurance adjuster tried to deny pretty much any issue I had. I'd have walked away with far less, but he pushed to the point where I had to lawyer up. They paid more than triple what I'd have taken.

Call an attorney dumbass If someone hits you then you treat insurance companies like the cops, you never talk to them without an attorney.

What insurance company?
