Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

Re: usps liability in traffic accident

We don't have enough information regarding the facts and your injury to make a determination. It will depend on the exact nature of your injury, the amount of your present medical bills, what future medical care you will require, and your wage loss, if any. Please provide your contact information to [email protected] so that we can discuss this matter in greater detail. I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: usps liability in traffic accident

Dear Sirs:

Settlement amount will depend upon the nature and extent of your injuires, your medical bills, and lost wages, post past and future.

Please call to discuss the other aspects of your case.

You will need an attorney.

Re: usps liability in traffic accident

If you have an attorney, you should follow his/her advice in recommending a settlement.

If you do not have an attorney, you should get one!

There is no way to recommend a number based on what you have written. As others have pointed out, the settlement amount is a function of 1) what you are willing to settle for; 2) your medical bills; 3) who are your doctors; 4) your diagnosis and prognosis;; 5) your lifestyle; 6) you employment and employment record; 7) the facts of the case; 8) the insurance company you are dealing with; 9) the forum in which you would file lawsuit if settlement negotiations fail; 10) and other factors.

There is a lot to consider and without an attorney, you don't even stand a chance to get any fair compensation for your injuries.

If you like to discuss this in more detail, I will be more than happy to hear from you. Whether you call me or another attorney, the bottom line is that you need an attorney.

I hope this helps,

Re: usps liability in traffic accident

You will be able to file a claim against the USPS. The amount of your claim will be based on the following factors:

Pain and suffering, disability, past and future medical expenses related to the accident, past lost wages and future lost wages in addition to the property damage. If you are married and cannot do things at home, your wife may be entitled to compensation.

Any suit will have to be filed in an administrative claim against the USPS, first, then after 6 months a suit will need to be filed in the Federal District Court for the location where the accident took place if your case has not been resolved.

I know that you are looking for a dollar figure, but without having gone to the scene, or viewed the property damage and without having the information concerning your actual medical expense, lost wage, and medical records, a dollar figure can not be provided.

I hope this information has helped. Feel free to contact me if you have additional questions. I practice law throughout Illinois and Indiana.
