Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maine

The good thing is that she was not seriously injured. However, value of the case depends on both the extent of injury and medical treatment providers making objective findings and documenting the treatment and symptoms. You have little to work with, unless you have a doctor or therapist following the length of her care, or at a minimum, seeing her at various stages of her self-recovery. The insurance company will make a low ball offer (or you can make a demand), and that commences negotiations. You can negotiate to an agreed upon settlement amount. Medical expenses need to be paid, in addition to pain and suffering. You should pursue $2,000+/-per month for the pain/suffering as a starting point, although I can't evaluate this fully without review of her medical records. If her medical care was paid by her health insurance, there's a chance that you will have to repay them as a requirement of your policy. If your auto insurance medical payment coverage paid, then you do not have to repay them if your total settlement (add everything up, i.e. rental car, repairs, medical, pain/suffering, and any lost income) does not exceed $19,999.99. If your daughter is fully recovered, then there is no time like the present to try to negotiate a resolution. Feel free to contact me directly for advice.
