Legal Question in Personal Injury in South Carolina

Re: What is the right amount of compensation?

To answer your question without knowing much more information would be doing you a great disservice. Each case is different, and no matter how much the insurance companies try, cases are not determined solely by the amount of property damage and medical bills.

If you are trying to settle your case without having an experienced personal injury attorney on your side, you are making a mistake and are most likely taking money out of your own pocket. If you do have an attorney, he or she would be the best person to advise you of the value of your case, since he/she will know all of the pertinent facts.

If you want additional information, you can visit my personal injury law blog (www.SCPILaw.com) or our firm's website (www.StevensFirm.com). If I can assist you further, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Thanks and good luck, Ben Stevens

Re: What is the right amount of compensation?

This is not an easy answer. The amount of compensation can vary from case to case. Just remember, the insurance company will try to settle the case for as little as possible. You may wish to consult with an attorney to protect your rights. It may be possible to get more if you have an attorney on your side. Contact my firm for a free consultation. [email protected]

Re: What is the right amount of compensation?

The numbers don't add up right. You said that you and your daughter were checked out at the hospital and are okay. If that is so, then I don't understand why your bills would be $14,000. Are you sure that is the correct amount?
