Hello,

The value of your impairment rating appears to be approximately $5,000.00, but that is only part of your settlement evaluation (if they have not already paid you for that). The other factors include an estimate of how long they are responsible for paying you $228 a week, and your future medical needs. Your age may be a factor, and your accident date is also a factor. You should hire an attorney to represent you during settlement negotiations. I am happy to provide a consultation. I see your zip code is in Acworth, I believe. My office is in Atlanta but I live in Kennesaw, and often meet clients in Acworth. Please let me know if I can assist. www.lyndaparkerlaw.com 770-712-9497, [email protected]
