Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas
Auto Accident Involving a Possession Charge
In late November I was involved in a MVA that was the other driver's fault. At the time of the accident he was issued a citation for ''possession of drug paraphernalia'' I also suffered a miscarriage that followed 2 days after the wreck. The car was totalled and I took an ambulance to the hospital with my 4 year old son who was involved also.
I am having a difficult time figuring a reasonable amount to settle for. He has full coverage. They paid off my car. But I lost my job as a direct result with a domino effect of late bills etc...My family is saying 50-60K settlement is that too much? I suffered severe upper and lower extremity contusions. My son had a mild bumb on his head. Please Help..What should I settle for?

Re: Auto Accident Involving a Possession Charge
Coming up with a meaningful estimate of how much a case is worth requires review of a number of facts. Much more information is needed than what you've provided. Generally, you cannot expect to recover as much as an attorney would be able to obtain for you. Since your damages appear significant I suggest that you hire a board certified personal injury lawyer. Please let me know if I can help. I represent clients throughout Texas.
Re: Auto Accident Involving a Possession Charge
DO NOT DO THIS CASE YOURSELF! This is a serious case, and should be handled by a professional who does these cases for a living. Most attorneys (myself included) will review your case with you at no charge. I strongly recommend your having the case reviewed and your retaining counsel.
Re: Auto Accident Involving a Possession Charge
We had a case where All State offered $40,000 to settle a claim in March 2007...statute ran in April, so claimant hired us...and in September, All State paid $100,000 plus he had $100,000 UIM which also paid...BUT you need to visit a lawyer..and discuss..what you want and what they offer are two different things. Your family cannot go to Court for you...and generally a lawyer will get more than is offered....
