Punitive damages can be recovered in cases where the driver’s negligence is deemed “gross negligence” I.e. drunk driver.

Compensation appears very limited for people who have been hit by others. An accident impacts one's life.

A car accident caused by someone else is terrible. The injury is an issue, but there are other inconveniences and that are just as traumatic. My accident changed my entire Summer. Everything should be factored in, including trauma, interrupted life, etc. I have not been the same ever since that accident even after going to therapy.

I’m currently in the middle of a claim, progressive (fault party) called the day after the accident to offer $950 foot pain and suffering. We were both like “we don’t even know what injuries and pain will be experienced” so I’m trying to research what’s reasonable. Our car, which was paid off, is totaled and we have to buy another vehicle, so I’m trying to find out if that’s something to factor in on trying to get more than a measly 950.

Typical insurance company tactic - quick money up front. But regardless, you'll still get lowballed. Watch my video on why insurance companies low ball EVERYONE. If you have a real injury, I would strongly recommend us getting on the phone and talking about this. I'm an open book and happy to help.

Hi Ken, when you say stacking what are you referring to? Because when I use the word stacking I'm referring to taking your own under insured motorist policy and putting it on top of the policy of the defendant so that you can maximize your recovery.

My daughters were involved in a rear end collision in Indiana they’re both minors. I took them to emergency room the next day and they did X-ray but no broken bones. The doctor said my oldest daughter had muscle spasms in lower back and my other daughter had neck sprain and strains. I followed up with their primary care doctor and they determined my oldest daughter had low back muscle spasms and my other daughter had cervical spasms and had a minor concussion. I took them to a chiropractor and they did X-ray and determined my oldest daughter had 2 tears in her vertebrae in her back and her spine was out of adjustment and my other daughter has tear in her muscles in her neck. They’re seeing a chiropractor 3 times a week. What would be a decent number for pain and suffering?

Hello, thank you for this video it is very insightful.

I thought it was my duty to notify and repay medicaid after the settlement is completed.

Hi, to be honest I've never had a sitaution like that. You sure they haven't been put on notice by Medicaid. Also, sounds like this may be a state law situation where they may have an obligation to withhold etc etc. But I'm just speculating again as I've never seen this situation before....

Hi, when I say permanent injury I mean someone walking with a limp. True chronic pain like in your back theoretically could be permanent I guess.

Hi, well, first if you suffered injuries in an accident, I'd get a lawyer. But that aside, you need to look at a lot of factors, your diagnoses, medical expenses, permanency of injury etc etc. to come up with a number to demand. In terms of future med expenses, if you've got a permanent injury, I would strongly recommend talking to an attorney. This can get complicated.
