You definitely need to get an attorney involved. Don’t sign anything. It’s their responsibility to pay you what they’re owed, but you need to provide evidence justifying the amount you’re requesting. Don’t overlook other issues they might owe compensation for, like any help you provided or emotional distress. Before and after pictures can also strengthen your case. You should detail how her health declined after the injury too. Ask yourself: what would convince a jury that $150,000 or even $50,000 is a reasonable ask? This process can take time, but while lawyers charge, they get results.
Find a lawyer. Don’t accept or settle for anything they offer.
Don’t interact with the opposing insurance or their lawyers; they’re out to take advantage of you. Speak with an attorney instead.
I had a similar case. Get an attorney who works on commission so you don’t have to pay anything upfront.
It’s wild how I saw a similar situation where an insurance refused a $50,000 settlement, and ended up with a jury awarding several million dollars. Don’t settle for less.
Get an attorney and avoid negotiating with the insurance company directly.
