Do I Need an Attorney for a Budget Moving Van Accident?
A settlement can happen at any moment. From immediately after the accident to the moment the jury has reached a verdict, you can receive a settlement offer. That is why victims need to remember if the insurance does offer them a settlement and they accept it, the case is over. By accepting a settlement, you waive your right to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.
While settlements can be helpful in the short term, they rarely take into account the long-term effects you face from the injuries and damages incurred from an accident. For that reason, it is advisable to reach out to an experienced accident attorney before agreeing to take a settlement. Once you establish an attorney-client relationship with a reputable accident attorney, it tells the insurance company you know your rights and will invoke them.
What is the Average Settlement Amount for a Budget Moving Van Accident?
The settlement amount is decided by the legal damages you are entitled to recover. The defense bases its settlement offer on what it believes your legal damages would be worth if your case went to trial. However, there is no predicting what your exact settlement would be without knowing the specifics of your case. The following legal damages and the severity of them will largely decide what your settlement amount will be:
- Medical bills for present and future treatments
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Cost of repairing your vehicle and other property damage
- Pain and suffering
