How can I get the most money for my personal injury insurance claim?

If you are wondering if there is a minimum amount for your personal injury settlement or if your bodily injury claim will cover medical bills, these are questions that many have asked before, knowing how to collect your personal injury claim as well as handling and annuity from an auto accident settlement, you will be happy to know that there is no minimum or maximum settlement amount, due to the amount of a settlement in a personal injury case is based on extent of injury, amount of economic damage as well as the length of time the injury is expected to last.

Lost of wages and medical bills would be included as economic damages so all damages must be included in a bodily injury claim. As far as your annuity goes you can not break it because the insurance company is the ones paying the settlement funds over time versus a lump sum payment.

in 1989, i suffered in a serious automobile collision-I was side smashed by an underaged teenage drunk driver insured by Allstate. I was insured by Statefarm.To make this short, I was only 19 and my foster parents retained an attorney,and said they would handle everything. I wore a back brace for two months because I had a cracked disk, and was on pain medication. Before you know it, they MOVED and didn't give me any further info and literally left me out on my own. I am sure they settled the case and took off. I have since lived on the streets and eventually let it go. Now I am 40 years old and suffer serious arthritis and tendonitis -I went to apply for disability and my ss # shows that I DIED IN 1993!!!I was in awe and explained to the woman my injury story and she only printed me up a paper saying that I am in fact NOT deceased. Nothing more. BUT, I keep getting calls from Allstate trying to sell me insurance and wanting to know my current insurance policy. I told them call me back later. I'm really stumped when I think what is really going on/ Can you figure??
