What is the name of your state? Tennessee
Several months ago I told about how my wife was seriously injured by a Tractor/ Mower on a Federal Highway in Tenn. With out going into all the details. I am 13 days away from trial and have not been given an offer, but my reconstructionist said that I have one the case, but the judge is the final decider. It has been a long hard road and multitude of crucial things have been discovered and proven and they are all in our favor. I have heard nothing of great importance that the other side has in their defense. This was an accident that involved a city employee in the scope of his job. This city tractor mower driver had convictions of DUI/ Drugs/ Hit and Run/ leaving the scene of accident/ 4 public drunkeness, 8 counts of worthless checks. He was employed by one of the cities with this kind of record.
Anyways, I would like to know what a fair offer would be in the event that I am offered one. My wife was seriously injured and has a 16% full body disability/ she broke her leg in 7 different places/ had to undergo physical therapy for a long time/ she lost her job/ she still has pain. My daughter was with her and suffered injuries too. Broken nose/ concusion/ scrapes and bruises. My wife had to undergo two surgeries and is scared badly on her thigh. She was in a hospital bed in my front room for over 6 months and the pain and suffering was not only indured by her, but by her children. All during the nights we lived with her crying/ moaning in pain/ etc.. You couldn't pay me 10 million dollars to go thru that again. I am a Viet-Nam combat vet and it was pure hell for me to deal with. Sometimes I feel like i lost my mind. I couldn't sleep well and I know she was suffering too. This is putting everything mildly. If the other side were to offer me a settlement, what would be a fair one. I am not greedy, but I damn well want to get every dime i can that my family deserves. We put 2 million on the suit, but i am aware that you can put any amount. I know this is complicated and that is why I am asking for some sound advise on this. Thanks.
