You are entitled to recover 100% of your direct expenses. Beyond that, what you want for "pain and suffering" is entirely subjective. No one can tell you what it's worth, and only you can decide if what is being offered is fair to you. Pick out a number and see if the insurance company agrees.If they don't, then you have to negotiate. Attorneys charge a fee of 30% to 40% to be your negotiator. You have to decide if that's worth the risk of not even winning a settlement. _________________ CA-licensed P&C Broker-Agent and Life Agent. CA Insurance Lic #0596197.
