Personal Injury Settlements
Car Accident, Rear Ended by 3 Cars

(NY)

I was sitting at a stop light while working (I drive for a living,) and I was hit 3 times by 3 cars who were behind me. The last car was at fault and the other 2 hit me as well. I had a separate worker's compensation case which has already been settled for a very small amount in my opinion.

Anyway, I received stitches above my eye (just above my eyebrow) and I have a small scar. I also sustained back and neck injuries in which I received over a year of treatment for from my chiropractor. I couldn't work for over a year and finally my lawyer said they are willing to offer a settlement...their first offer? $3500!!

My lawyer said she is going to file a lawsuit now and I am very upset because it's been 2 years already and I have been done with my doctors since October of last year. Why is this offer SO low? I was in no way at fault yet they are playing games. Not happy.
