I was a victim of an auto accident. How do I seek a claim for time wasted on making claims?
carivera2000 asked:
I am more inconvenienced by the time it takes to go to the doctor’s office, getting auto estimates, trips to physical therapy, and looking around for medical supplies for my pain. I could have used this time to be with family, work on my business, or teach adjunct at a local college. How do I quantify this ($) when making a claim? I am on summer break (teacher) so it did not affect wages.

Dont be too greedy, maybe on seeing your greed they might cancel whatever they are paying to you.

I don’t know of anyone ever paid for that, so if you want to be, you’ll have to sue them in court and see what the judge says.

generally they pay 1.5 times the total medical for pain and suffering. So if your medical bills were $1000 an adequate settlement for pain and suffering is $1500. With you not working, it may be harder to claim though. You most likely won’t get anything except medical without an attorney though.

Im an insurance agent and former insurance claims adjuster… If you were not at-fault for this accident the claimants insurance company should offer you a settlement offer for your injuries and suffering [the suffering is what we in the insurance world consider what you may call inconvenience] Before you accept a settlement offer for your injuries make sure you let the claims adjuster know that your time as been convinced as a result of their customers negligence and you would like to be reimbursed. They should offer you another $500 to $1k.

Yes, this is the price of the pain, they will pay more
