Should we get an attorney? (car accident)?
Should we consult an attorney about a car accident my husband was recently involved in to make sure we get the max amount we deserve? I’ll try and give you as much details about the accident as possible.
What happened: My husband was driving home from work when 2 cars came to a stop in front of him, online prescription drugs without a prescription he stopped about 1 1/2 car lengths behind them as they were waiting to turn left, about 3 seconds later a large SUV rear-ended him dead on pushing him into the van in front of him and totaling our car. He went to the ER right away but haven’t gotten the x-rays back yet. We won’t get the police report for a few more days still but it was DEFINATELY the woman’s fault. My husband is under DR’s orders to take off 1 week, and then light duty for 1 week (possibly longer after we find out the results of the x-rays), he is feeling anxious because of missing work and not knowing if we will even make rent or bills because we have no savings, we have a 5 month old and he cannot help me.
we have a 5 month old and he cannot help me to care for the baby because of pain, and also he is afriad to drive because he keeps thinking someone is going to rear-end him again (which is bad because he drives for a living).
our insurance co. offered us about 14k for the car, we still owe around 16k on our loan as this is a NEW car and we haven’t even had it 2 months. We did not get GAP coverage so the 2k is on us.
Mainly we want the woman (or her insurance company) to pay: the remainder of our loan, my husband’s present and future medical bills regarding these injuries, lost wages, loss of ability to provide household serivces, loss of use of property (ie the car), pain and suffering (for his physical pain, mental suffering, and emotional distress), a rental car that is comparable to our totaled car until this is settled.
Also we know that the woman has insurance and it is up to date as we have already contacted her insurance as well as ours about this accident. what should we do?
she was going about 55mph,
here is what the car looks like now!
