YOU are not bright enough for this......

$5000, how much is your medical bills? how much have you lost in wages? Can you do the same job at the same pay as before? Are you going to have more medical bills next year in 2 yrs in 3years?

What about the owners homeowners insurance, how much coverage does he have?

You are CHEAP, and will get ripped off...

So take the $5000 and let the agent have a party.

 

[The Legal Shoppe]

The insurer for the landlord is probably offering to pay their medical payments coverage limit of $5000.00. Medical payments coverage is paid without regard to fault. This is separate coverage than the liability coverage that would be paid on the basis of fault. When the medical payments coverage is paid, make sure that you are only signing a release as to that coverage. The insurer may be entitled to a credit if you later recover from the landlord in your liability claim.

By the way, in what state did this occur? Most states have landlord and tenant statutes that require the landlord to maintain a safe premises outside of the exclusively rented premises ( sometimes known as "common areas"). If your injury occurred because of the negligent maintenance of the common areas on the premises by the landlord, then you may have a good claim. Do not give up yet.

Perhaps you should talk to a lawyer in your area. There is usually little or no charge for the initial consultation.

demand package

thanks for the advise,an i saw a lawyer today,like you said,he said he would review the case an let me no if he will take it,but i thot id ask this question while i was here,with the injury like mine broken tibia n fibia ,without figuring lost wages,wat kind of a demand package would say in other cases like mine demand,i mean about how much money opproximently would an attorney ask for.thank you

GOOD you saw a lawyer today........

Well its not really the money its how has your life been affected by this accident?

Thas whats important, what can you show that is different now?, such as you cant climb a ladder and you are a house painter by trade...that could be LOTS of $$$$$ becuase, you have lost your livelyhood .

But if you sit down all day, so whats a broken leg if you are not in constant pain?

You see a lot has to do with your quality of life and how much worse is it today verus before the accident.

Does that make better sense?

OH if this lawyer doesnt take it there are a hundred more lawyers in the phone book to call the next day.
