No, by signing the settlement you are waving the insurance company and the opperator from any further liability.
$1 in a state as poor as Missouri
$10, at least that's what I got.
Not really sure what the normal is but i recieved 112,500.00 from a c-2 hangman's fracture in a car accident that i was the passenger in. With no long lasting affects. 110,000 in medical bills though
The settlement would depend on the situation. If it is from a auto accident the settlement would depend on the limits of the at fault driver of the limit on the under of uninsured limits of the non fault driver.
The insurance company would pay them directly to make sure they are paid.
My daughter got $30,000 for a broken nose in Georgia.
It sounds like a legal maneuver to protect the medical facilities ability to be reimbursed when a settlement is eventually reached.
There is no average or typical settlement amount. The amount of costs that the victim incurred in medical and other expenses addition to his/her time out of work would be the basis for seeking recovery. If the injured has serious surgeries and spent a lot of time in the hospital, the amount would be much higher than if they were treated in the emergency room and released. The amount of settlement also depends on the defendant's situation. His/her insurance would only be liable up to the policy maximums. If the defendant does not have the ability to pay over that, the potential settlement would be capped there.
No. This type of settlement is not generally taxable.
In the UK - the amount of compensation you can receive for an auto accident depends on the nature of the back injury you have suffered as described by a medical expert - your solicitor will instruct the medical expert as part of your claim. The is no such thing as an average settlement as for back injuries compensation can be up to approximately £260,000. Please see the related link entitled "motor bike accident" to see examples of how much compensation you can receive for various different RTA injuries including lower back injuries using a motorbike accident as an example.
