Car accident, best way to proceed

[Just Blue]

Maybe not, but if I don’t accept, I don’t think the claim will just end. I think it lasts for a certain period of time. If so, i would think they would be responsible until the claim expires

It's not for you to accept. This is your wife's case and you won't be accepting or declining any thing.

No not pay UNLESS need be. Right now they offer me $600 and 2 months, upton$1500 expense. That’s about enough to cover 2 Advil’s.

Oh please.
I sure hope that your wife see things more clearly than you do, especially when you consider that YOU have no say in her settlement.

What doesn't make sense is you saying you'd rather wait until they no longer have any responsibility in the matter.

$0 up front and full medical bills paid past two months seems better to me.

You mean that her medical bill for her one doctor visit was paid, right?

True. She won’t.

$600 check is for $250 bill and $350 a bonus I guess.

So ur opinion is for her to: accept the $600 check and up to $1500 medical expense coverage for 2 months? Go get her MRI for $2,000. Draw from the available $1,500, then from the $600 check, pay the $250 initial medical bill and use the remaining $350 for the MRI bill, then finish up the MRI bilk

So ur opinion is to: accept the $600 check and related medical coverages for 2 months? Then pay the $250 initial medical bill from the $600 check. Get the MRI for $2,000 (minimal) and draw the $1,500 offer and use the remaining $350 left from the $600 check to pay down the MRI bill, then pay the MRI balance off by writing a personal check for $150.

My opinion is that she should get the necessary treatment before she considers settling. She should NOT base her course of treatment on simply maximizing the money she may receive (which will go to the doctors anyway). My opinion is also that she should not listen to your advice.

hmmm, so u too, like I stated, would decline the offer? The whole question is to accept or decline the offer. Not sure in what way you
Twisted it. And yes I do have a say in the matter.

Seems to me that she hasn't even seen fit to visit the doctor again...

When did the accident occur?

I personally someone who took 10 years to settle a claim. My relative had a minor accident, but it took that long to resolve what exactly the extent of her neurological injury was.

She did, they want to do an MRI. We have insurance but a high deductable. That alone is 2 grand i think.

Get the MRI. Her doctors deem it medically necessary, the other party's insurance should cover it.
