Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Re: person needs settlement figure for a car accident

The type of settlement you should be looking for depends on the extent and permanence of your injuries as well as the pain you sustained from the accident, it can also encompass other factors such as the laibility of the parties and the amount of insurance coverage the parties in the accident had as well as their liquid assets.

One thing is for sure, whatever you offered will be significantly less if you don't have an attorney than if you do, this is because insurance companies know that without representation there is little likelihood that they will be exposed to significant damages as a result of a jury verdict, the chances that you will try the case yourself are low, and that you will do so effectively are even lower. While having representation means that you will have to pay your lawyer a fee for working on the case, the amount of the fee will most likely be more than made up for by having representation who can negotiate the case for significantly more than you can alone.

I would have to agree with the information provided by Mr. Loeb in his reply. I'm not where the 14621 area code is located but if you're near Western New York, then feel free to email me and we could discuss your situtation and perhaps I could guide you in the right direction.

Best Luck,

Re: person needs settlement figure for a car accident

There is no set answer to this type of question. The extent of your injury, whether it keeps you from earning a living, whether it meets the no fault threshold, are necessary to evaluate the amount of liability of each defendant(s). The County you are in may also play a role.
