Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Re: medical mileage reimbursement on an auto injury claim

No, the rate is not lower for accidents and yes, they are taking advantage. It should be the same as what you can deduct for business mileage on a tax return. But the amounts for milage aren't usually that high and not worth fighting over too much.

Re: medical mileage reimbursement on an auto injury claim

Usually, when one is taught to take an multiple choice exam, they're told to never choose the "always..." answer because it is always wrong. However, when dealing directly with an insurance company one can usually check the "always" box because insurance companies "always" try to take advantage of those who work directly with them.

To get to the other part of your question, I believe that the going rate is 37 cents per mile.

Good luck

Re: medical mileage reimbursement on an auto injury claim

Look I hate to be the cynic, but why are you dealing with an adjuster without legal representation. Of course they are going to offer you less than you are entitled too. Why do you think there are personal injury lawyers? It's because we do this for a living and we know how to maximize a recovery whether it be during pre-litigation or settlement or through litigation. Good luck.
