Re: Requesting Advice On a Auto. Accid. Case
A serious evaluation of the settlement offer in your case would require a review of the police reports, a review of the medical bills and reports, and knowledge of whether or not the value of the automobile [Blue Book] was included in the settlement figure offered.
No responsible evaluation can be made without these items of information.

I received your post on 1-12-2001.
I assume that you are asking if the settlement dollars are adequate. Unfortunately, I do not know the injuries or the facts. Further, in New Yor State, there is a No-Fault threshold that applies amd must be accounted for.
