First is the insurance company’s way. You file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurer, and they will offer you a sum of money in exchange for your agreeing to accept the amount in full settlement of your case and not bother them anymore. Often, the amount that they come up with is determined by a computer program designed to pay you as little as they can get away with.
The most unscrupulous insurance companies will even send you a tiny little check in the mail, often with a note saying they’re sorry you had a car accident and to “get yourself some massages to make you feel better.” On the back of the check is tiny print that, if you sign the check, says you have accepted the pittance as full settlement of your case.
Second is our way. The car accident attorney Denver at the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya take into account the medical treatment you have received so far, as well as the costs of treatment you may need in the future. We factor in physical impairment and loss of function you may have suffered. We look at what income you have lost by being off work following the accident. And we look at many other factors such as loss of enjoyment from activities you used to do.
The result is a value that is fair and reasonable, and justifies what you’ve been through. It’s not a tiny little number generated by a one-size-fits-all insurance company computer program.
