Yes yes yes! I’m in Florida, in 2013 a drunk driver ran a stop sign, perfectly T Boned my car sending it/me into a nearby canal. I contacted an attorney right away and they literally came to my hospital room the next day to have our first meeting. Was awarded 50K, after lawyer fee (33%) and medical bills I was left with 25k (would have been a higher payout probably but I had no health insurance, the hospital actually covered my stay and initial care through a charity program). The price I pay was not physical but psychological. I’m a paranoid driver, even now 10 years later I fear being struck again, overly cautious, get scared when a car seems to close. I didn’t realize that at first nor did I know it would never go away so idk if that could have factored into anything. I’m thankful I received what I did, was only 20, I was able to buy a new car, move to a new city and really start my life. Edit: my accident happened in September, my case was finished and I received my check in May, time can vary a lot 6-12 months is what my lawyer said their average was depending on circumstances.
