What is the name of your state? Washington but accident happened in Oregon.
I was involved in an accident about 1 year ago, where my BF was driving my car and I was passenger in the front. We hit a horse where we were traveling about 55 mph. Normally, I wouldn't have gotten an attorney but since my car was totalled and I was injured I thought it was the best thing to do.
My attorney just sent me a bunch of papers yesterday that she said she sent to the horse owner and her insurance company. She said she was asking for $75,000 pain and suffering + PIP and all other medical expense reimbursement since my insurance company has been footing my medical bills since the accident. I am just wondering what amount I will actually end up with. I know she will take 1/3 of the amount but I'm just wondering what the end result will look like. I got some great pictures of the car afterward and she told me that this was one of those "oh my god" accidents where it doesn't take much convincing to the judge to tell the insurance company to pay up.
So I guess my questions are: How much $$ am I realistically looking at in the end for myself and also does Uncle Sam get a portion of this as well? Thank you for your thoughts.
