Legal Question in Personal Injury in North Carolina

Re: Car Accident Claim-Is Adjustor's Offer On Target

The fair value of the claim would depend on a lot of other variables, such as whether you made a complete recovery. Typically, with bills of $23,600, the injuries are fairly serious. (The insurance people often discount the medical bills by the "diagnostics" because supposedly those do not accurately reflect pain-and-suffering; e.g. an MRI for $1,000 does not necessarily reflect a significant amount of pain, whereas $1,000 in physical therapy visits may reflect more pain.) Based on these bills alone, your figure appears to be much closer to a fair figure than the insurance company's figure. (This depends of course on the details of the treatment. If a person has, e.g., $20,000 in chiropractic treatment, then that is typically very suspect.) With this amount of medical bills, you may want to consult with an attorney in person and discuss the case further. You may be able to find an attorney to provide you with guidance on an hourly basis, if you do not want to pay a large contingent fee.
