Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio

Re: What amount do I ask for my daugters injury?

You should definitely wait several months to a year before you even consider settling because it is hard to know the extent of your daughter's injury. Once you settle the claim there is no going back for more. An attorney can probably get you a better settlement even after attorneys fees. You must settle your husband's claim within two years of the date of injury or file suit. As for your daughter, you have up to two years after her 18th birthday to settle or file suit. Good luck.

Re: What amount do I ask for my daugters injury?

Since the injury is so recent, if I were you, I would wait a minimum of six months, preferably a year to make sure that the injuries are not serious. An attorney would probably be able to negotiate a better settlement than you would be able to negotiate on your own. Most attorneys do this type of work on a contingency fee basis, however, the client is always responsible for the expenses. Also, since your daughter is a minor, the insurance company may insist on the approval of the settlement by the Probate Court of the county in which you live. As for the dollar amount, that is dependent on the economic damages and the pain and suffering. Without looking at the information, I could not advise you as to dollar amount.
