You are entitled to recover 100% of your actual damages (medical expenses, lost wages) not already paid by other insurance. As for "pain and suffering" -- no one can tell you what that's worth, although an attorney will tell you "millions of dollars" in order to get you to give him 30% - 50% of your total settlement (including the actual damages),
A general rule of thumb to which most insurance companies will easily agree is 2x to 3x the amount of actual damages. It's not a formula, and it's not a law. It's simply an easy number to calculate and pay. If you don't think it's adequate, you can ask for more, or give up 30%+ to an attorney to ask for you.

I thought I made it pretty clear. It was the first thing I wrote.Posted: Mon Sep 16, 2013 11:43 pm Post Subject:
not already paid by other insurance.
In some cases, even those expenses. In some cases they are owed back to some carriers (such as health providers) and in other cases they are not owed back (such as to a PIP provider). Some states allow double dipping.Add your comment
