Auto Accident Bodily Injury
I was hit by another party total my car,I was taken to trauma center in dallas tx. with broken finger on dominant hand ,class in eyes with injury to cornea,left arm injured,needed stitches. I had to have surgery on right hand broken finger with 2 pins inserted,after surgry finger still was not able to be corrected as before due to the way the finger broke,and trauma to right hand . I also had to endure a second surgery which was in doctors office to remove one of the pins due to the way pin had moved after being inserted . What would you say would be a fair settlement .My doctor bill was 9k after my insurance paid it part . I have endured much pain and suffering and to still have issue with the finger that was broken. I also have lost wages and bills for medicine.

I would have to review the medical records myself in order to accurately determine the damages. Also, I would review the police report and I would interview witnesses. There is no set formula for what a case is worth, you need to consider liability, damages, venue and available insurance. I would be happy to visit with you about your case at no cost, just call.
Re: Auto Accident Bodily Injury
It is not wise to recommend a "fair" settlement. a)which insurance company is it?what are policy limits?
b)what are factors in the collision?
If you have a competent lawyer...you may get more than policy limits..It sounds like you medicals are several times $9000...and you have lost income...etc....We recently settled a case with 11k in meds for 60k..but that is no guide to your case..call if you wish to discuss but we could not tell you what is fair..Has the insurer for the other party offered anything???
