I was involved in a car accident where the other driver was at fault. I got a broken left thumb as a result and also a concussion. After surgery and therapy, my thumb won't bend and I experience pain when doing tasks, even when holding a book to read, doing dishes, etc.I still experience dizziness from my concussion. Medical bills so far amounts to $25,000 (not quite done with therapy for my dizziness) Loss of wages amounted to $1500. What do you think my claim is worth? I live in KS.
Lawyer says jury worth is $500,000.00 but he wants me to give him an amount to work with. He is suggesting $50,000 -$100,000. That amount would have to cover my medical bills, loss of wages and pain and suffering plus any future medical expenses.
Thanks

No question here.

This makes no sense. If the attorney believes the damages are $500,000, why would he ask you to "work with" a lesser amount?
A properly working thumb is what sets humans apart from chimpanzees. That ought to be worth something. But like tcope says, you fail to state a question.

Sounds like the attorney is giving the same BS to the client as he.she usually gives to the insurance company.

I did ask a question but it was buried in the middle of my post.
What do you think I should ask for my claim including pain and suffering?
Thanks.

No one here can answer that question for you. You have an attorney -- who doesn't appear to be too competent -- that should be explaining it to you, not asking you what you think.
It is worth half a million dollars? I don't think so. But I don't know the facts, either.
