It was a Friday night about 9:00pm clear weather dry roads.
I stopped at a red light, when it turned green I proceeded through the intersection, next thing I see is headlights a foot away from my front passenger door.
The guy blew a red light, slammed into my passenger side (I was alone, passenger seat was empty) at around 50-60 mph. I was driving a 96 Grand Cherokee, he had a small 2 door Chevy of some sort. the result, my Cherokee was TOTALED!!! you can imagine the impact. My jeep flew on to incoming traffic was almost hit again, I ended up about 30-40 feet from the initial hit. I went into automatic shock. felt like I was on another planet. Trying not to move, staring blindly at the people who are yelling at me to see if I'm ok.
There were 4 witnesses who told the police that it was completely 100% his fault, names and info was taken by the police.
He was taken to a hospital and then arrested for a DUI (then I also found out he had a suspended license at the time also) I was also taken to the hospital had X-ray on my neck, and released.
Anyway, I have a Herniated disc in my lower back, Fractured nose, severe headaches, A lot of trouble sleeping, both legs get numbing/paid, Neck pain. LOST MY JOB, because it’s too far to get to without a car. I am almost done with therapy I have a Lawyer, everything is going fine I guess, I have full tort Geico insurance. He has Progressive === My Question is how much do you guys think I'm looking to get out of this. This accident flipped my life upside-down. I am Furious and want this guy to pay. I want every penny I deserve from his insurance. so I was just wondering if anyone knows how much I should expect for pain and suffering and everything else.
Thank you
