Q: I was hit by a drunk driver several months ago and walked away with only soft tissue injuries to my neck and back and a cracked rib. Several lawyers told me it is not worth it to sue, but to get as much as I can from the drunk driver’s insurance company. My medical bills and loss of income total nearly $6000. How much should I expect to get in the settlement when I factor in pain and suffering and liability?
A: Each case is different. You may be entitled to punitive damages in some cases involving drunk drivers in Virginia. The insurance company may try to short change you, knowing that you are not represented.
