Is there a Magic Formula for Determining Settlement in a Car Accident Case?

·         We wish; But there is not. If so, all of our negotiations with the carrier would be easy, fun, and cordial, like simply dialing for dollars

·         Instead, negotiations with the carriers often first seem like a chess match. Then, if not resolved, a war.

·         Medical bills, lost wages, the types of injuries suffered, permanency, and property damage all play a role in determining the case value

·         Pain and suffering, if argued effectively, will drastically increase the case value

·         Your attorney’s reputation will impact the settlement value. Don’t choose a lawyer that does not litigate because the insurance carrier will know that and will take that into consideration when evaluating a case for settlement and during negotiations.
