Question

How much should I expect on an offer from an insurance company when I have about 10,000 in bills

Answer

I assume that you were injured as a result of someones negligence. The circumstances leading to an injury, the nature of an injury and the medical expense associated with treatment are just some of the factors to be taken into account when determining settlement value. You should consult a lawyer with experience in handling personal injury cases. Most lawyers will handle such cases charging a fee only if they recover money for you. It is unwise to discuss your potential claim with the insurance company without first consulting a lawyer.

Answer

Zero! The value of your case is not established by how much your doctors billed. If you get compensation, it will be for your pain, suffering, embarrassment, humiliation, etc. There are more variables than you can imagine. Those items are not reflected in your doctor bills. It's not as simple as multiplying the amount your doctors billed by some number and expecting the insurance company to offer that much to settle. If they see that you are not represented by an experienced personal injury attorney, any settlement offer they make will be "peanuts". You should hire an experienced personal injury attorney near you. Call me if you want a few names.
