What is the name of your state? Florida, accident was in Georgia
My uncle was driving my mother's car when someone ran a stop sign and hit him. The insurance company has said the car is totaled, and will likely give my mother blue book value. The issue is that blue book value doesn't really cover the costs to get a new car. I've been told that the difference in costs would be covered in any settlement that my uncle gets, is that true? I'm also wondering if anyone knows about how much he should ask for in the settlement for pain, suffering, etc., the things that are not quantifiable. Looks like he'll have to miss work for at least a week and a half (he has broken his pelvis, ribs, and clavicle).
Thank you.
