To ascertain the value of an accident

Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2005 09:49 am Post Subject: accident value

Insurance companies normally use third party software to determine the value of an accident. The normal cost for a particular type of injury is calculated by putting the infomation in your medical bills into a software which then calculates the approximate amount.

The final payment to the injured person depends on the negotiation with the insurance companies. If you are injured, you will be reimbursed for the following losses in general:

1. Medical Care
2. Pain and sufferings
3. Lost income.

The adjuster starts with a formula to reimburse the compensation. She adds up the total medical expenses associated to the injury. These expenses are known as “specials”.

For the minor injuries the special is multiplied by 1.5 or 2. When the injuries are serious and sustained ones, the special damages can be multiplied by up to 5. And for the extreme cases the multiplier could be even 10.

Finally the lost income is added to the obtained figure.
Hope this will help you.
