Seeking higher Personal Injury Settlement from Bike accident

I was hit by a car on my bike and sustained minimal physical damage and more mental. Negligent driver's insurance paid out Property damage. They offered me a very low personal injury settlement. My demand letter pointed out how the accident impacted my personal life and they declined to entertain. How can I settle fair personal injury damages? Is there anything else I can do to seek fair settlement?

You may have to retain an attorney to assist you with the claim to optimize your recovery. Many personal injury attorneys offer free initial consultations.

You probably need to hire a lawyer to get a higher settlement value. Filing a lawsuit may be necessary, also.

Consider suing them in small claims court to get their attention.

Get an attorney. Closed head injuries are complicated and must be proven with professional medical practitioners as well.

While these issues are best handled by an experienced attorney who understands how to ensure that you get full compensation for your injuries, there may be some steps you can take on your own to settle your case.

One suggestion I would offer is to provide the insurance company with copies of your medical records demonstrating your mental suffering.

Hire a lawyer! You are not going to increase the value of your settlement without a lawyer.
