He was very upset and sorry. A legal agreement was signed where he (or his insurance) paid for the hospital bills (not much, she wasn't badly hurt) and would also pay for any future problems related to the injury. Which never happened. Everybody felt this was fair. |

It does happen. You may settle for hospital bills being paid now, but who will pay them later when you are trying to track down / repair neck or back pain that the doc says stems from some earlier injury that was never addressed properly? It is foolish to allow your future quality of life to be potentially diminished because you were too quick to take the time you needed to pursue a proper settlement.

There may be more bit that you discover that are now not right with your vehicle as well. Good luck. Edited because typo. |

I'm pretty sure I answered this in a very slightly different thread.
Oh, well. Don't settle for any amount of money. Rather, make SURE you are WELL before you allow them to close this claim. YOU are in no rush. Guessing what it might cost to make you well/keep you well is a crap shoot. You don't need to gamble. |

FPNI.
I have a friend who tried to have a conscience when dealing with the city over an injury they were responsible for. They ended up paying his medical and the lawyer took the lions share of the tiny settlement for pain and suffering. He couldn't tell me the full amount because of the terms of the settlement, but from what I gathered it was more than 60k and less than 80k. And he lives with a permanent physical disfigurement. He got raked overt he coals, IMO. Don't be like him. Fuck the city as hard as you can. |

I feel like i should add this, since i forgot with my other post.
From Philly suburbs and I've been told that SEPTA (public transit), would give out $10k to each passenger on their buses in the event of accidents, because they didn't feel like dealing with court. They have stopped doing this however, because people would just hop on the bus after accidents looking for a payday. If the company is big enough they'll just pay you to go away pretty quickly, but I'd lawyer up for this. |

That settlement will no doubt release the city from all future liability stemming from the incident. If he finds that he is actually injured after signing...too fuckin' bad. He signed a release of liability in the settlement. If he incurrs half a million dollars in medical bills... too fuckin' bad. He signed a release of liability in the settlement. Unless the guy has a law degree, he needs an attorney to insure the city's attorney doesn't incorporate liability release language into whatever he has to sign to get his settlement. Even cashing a check offered to him by the city could be construed as 'payment in full' for their liability. Tell the magnanimous half-wit to fuckin' Lawyer Up.
