Insurance pay out help...

(1/4) > >>

Bunnie:
Many know about rabbits accident back in october. well its finally gotten to a stage where i find out how much i get in compensation for personal injury.

the third party have decided to act with out prejudice as liability is still not decided but they have offerec to pay for things like the car hire and physio.

but what i need some advice and help with is the amout they have offered me for injuries. third party have vaulated it at £1,600 but my insurance company have suggest entering at £1,700 they reckon with the medical report it would take me 4 to 7 months to make a full recovery.

so its gonna take near on a year before i can start doing my job properly again...  now i dont know whether i was just expecting a little more or my minds just not working the way it should, and thats plenty and i should just shut up and let them sort it out for me.

obviously i could fight for more but of course that means its gonna carry on for god knows how much longer which for me means more of an emotional roller coster and im not sure if i can deal with it any more :( or i just settle for the 1,700 and be happy its over with

so realy just in need to a little advice as im a little confused as to what to think.

thanks all.

seems a little low... but then again, what do i know? im just a young whoopersnapper!

Bunnie:
i do think its low esp when my job contains a lot of heavy lifting. luckly for the past 2 months ive had my brother around so havent had to worry to much about finding the half hour its been taking for me to get barrels up on stillage. and dads been very good about it all too... he has the odd day where he moans about me not doing things but its getting better.

I got 3k years ago for a knacker hip joint and a busted wrist.
My wrist took 8 weeks to fix, and I had grief with my hip for maybe 18 months.(not life threatening, but uncomfortable)

Id push for more mebbe

I bust my wrist and was off work for about 8 weeks, it clicks now when I use a rachet and can sometimes be a bit painful, I got offered £1600 but rejected it, a full 18 months later after a scan on it (they said they could see some small blisters in the joint) I got £8200!!  It pays to moan and hang around in my experience!!
