Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Do I really need a lawyer?

My friend accidentally ran over my legs when he was backing out of a driveway last year. The insurance company was contacted immediatly and they seem cooperative. My tibea had a compound fracture in one leg and the other leg was badly sprained. I attended PT and need to wear an orthotics device permanantly. I can't wear a bathing suit at the beach because my ankle looks deformed. What is a reasonable settlement range for this type of injury?

Re: Do I really need a lawyer?

I received your inquiry on October 4, 2000/

My strong suggestion is to get an attorney. The interest of the insurance is to save themselves money, not to compensate you.

From the limited explanation, it appears that your injuries are indeed quite serious.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss this further at [email protected] if you would like.

Good Luck.
