How do insurance companies determine the value of my injuries in a motorcycle accident?
That’s a great question because insurance companies don’t want you or your lawyer to ever know that essentially, under Florida law, the way the determine the value of the case is one factoring fault or liability. So if it’s 100 percent on there insured, that’s easy, but it could be comparatively both vehicles are at fault, the motorcyclist may be partly at fault. Then they check your special damages, medical bills, and lost wages, and then they should consider intangible damages which are pain and suffering, mental anguish, the inability to lead a normal life, scarring and disfigurement, and there is no exact standard for those, it’s what should be fair and just based on the evidence which is how serious your injuries are gonna affect you for the rest of your life.
