Accident Attorney

neckpain_2007 asked:


I was involved in an accident 6 months ago.
Its multi car collision and damages were very less (only bumpers)
4 cars involved (incl mine),I was at the end.
This happened because the first car put a sudden break there by causing everyone behind to put sudden breaks. I tried my best but rearended to lady’s car.

Trust me she had only scratches on her rear bumper I couldnt find a noticeable dent (or may be there, but I didnt notice). She was fine, walking to her friends, cheering everybody on the site.
Cop gave me a ticket saying I was at fault. I asked why? I didnt caused it by myself. But he said since I rearended, the way law is written, no matter what others in front of u do, u r at fault.

Well..lady later claimed Bodily injury and her attorney sent me a letter saying, they “were not able to ascertain my insurance coverage” and If I dont call their office to provide insu. coverage they will sue me in 10 days.

I am with Geico. Will I be sued a lot? I have Body Inj cov of 10K.
The claims adjustor said they will try to settle within my limits.
But the other party decides to sue me, does anyone know how much on an average the settlement will be in court?

Any previous knowledge?

I am just trying to get an estimate of in general how much will be claimed.

In my case, adjustor said they just claimed whiplash to neck (does it mean, back too??)

I am just clueless on if I will have to put some money from my pocket.
