What is the name of your state?California
My son was recently in a car accident (not his fault). Since he only had liability, we're representing ourselves with the other driver's insurance. We have finally come to the settlement stage and we're told that two checks would be issued. One for damages to the auto, and the other for lost wages, doctor's bills, etc. My concern is how do we know what we're being offered is fair. What is the normal compensation for an auto that is totaled? Also, my son was unable to work for one month due to injuries sustained in the accident, and we, the parents, also had to take time off work to take care of him. Do they account for that?
Any help is much appreciated.
