Attorney answers:
The other drivers insurance company want to settle, but will they pay for future medical if needed?
I agree with the previous answer. In Washington you have three years from the date of accident to file a lawsuit (it can be longer for children under 18). And there is a good reason you have these three years; it's so you know what your injuries are. Insurance companies want to resolve these types of cases quickly because it's cheaper for them. But it is in your interest to make sure you know the full extent of your injuries before signing a release. And that can take time. Most, if not...

I have a L&I claim in washington state.is there a settlement for injury?
Without knowing more details of your accident it is difficult to offer an adequate answer. I will say that in most cases when you are injured at work, you are limited to the benefits from L & I.

Attorney answers:
T-boned and trying to find out whats a good offer for pain and suffering.
I agree with Ms. Craven's answer. Considering your injuries (especially your head and face injuries) it is important that you receive the proper treatment before you settle your claims or your family's claims. With your recent accident, the true extent of your injuries may not become apparent for some time. As Ms. Craven said, most attorneys handling personal injury claims like yours will be happy to meet with you for free to discuss your accident and your injuries. And in your case, I...
