Allstate removed much of the discretion of local claims agents to set payouts, requiring them to base their recommendations on a computer program called Colossus. Under that program, average payouts for bodily injuries dropped more than 20 percent in the first few years, internal documents show, a big step toward reaching McKinsey's goal of establishing a new fair market value” of such injuries.
After forays into the worlds of education and the diplomatic service which allowed me to travel and to find out what really interested me, the personal contact with those in need attracted me to a career in law. Being able to help people find solutions at times of crisis is extremely rewarding. I am driven to get the right result for my clients and I feel that it is a privilege to be in a position to assist them at the darkest of times.
Where the person injured is under a disability, the 3 years' limitation period is not applicable until the person ceases to be under the disability or dies, whichever is earlier ( section 22(1) and 22(2) of the Limitation Ordinance ). A person is considered to be under a disability if he/she is a child or a patient who is mentally incapacitated. Thus, for children, the limitation period is not applicable until the age of 18.
This way, you'll have evidence gathered at the scene to bolster your position on the cause of the accident. Check to see if your car insurance company has a mobile app that can help you document the accident while at the scene. Many auto insurers have apps that come with an accident checklist and tell you how to best gather information so you can make a claim with it or the other party's insurer.
It not unusual for companies to take their policyholder's side in cases where no police accident report was made and fault isn't obvious. In many states, if an officer at an accident scene determines the damage is minimal (usually less than $500), he or she will not file an accident report. Body shop estimates for that same accident, however, might run into the thousands of dollars. Take your car to a repair shop so you can determine the extent of the damage.
I was recommended to Gibson & Associates Solicitors by a friend. They explain legal proceedings in a manner that is easy to understand and their knowledge and advice has always been supportive and invaluable. Nothing was ever too much trouble; e-mails and other correspondence were replied to well within a reasonable time and dealt with. I would not hesitate to recommend Daireann Gibson and his team in dealing with any matter and if in the future I have further legal needs of whatever nature I will be using Gibson & Associates again.
The standard amounts that can be claimed for specific injuries are set by the Judicial Studies Board (JSB) and for the most common car accident injury; whiplash, the amount of compensation can range from £1,000 for mild whiplash to just under £100,000 for severe neck injuries, so knowing where you are within that scale is something we can ascertain.
