I was in an auto accident and was not at fault. I received a neck sprain and am now in physical therapy. This occured about a month ago...what is a reasonable settlement amount to expect from the insurance company?

Re: Auto Accident
The reasonable settlement amount varies depending on a couple of factors. But probably the most important is whether you have an attorney. Unrepresented persons usually recover less than a third of what represented persons receive. That's why the insurance industry is so eager to settle claims before injured persons hire attorneys.
If you want to let me know more about your injuries and treatment I'd be happy to give you an estimate of what your case is worth.
Thank you.
