Awesome Car Decals, Car Stickers, Car Wraps, and Car Tattoos

I was in a car accident where the other party was at fault. I am 7 months pregnant. I have been to doctor and as far as we know everything is okay. The accident was minor. Other party’s ins. is trying to settle, wanted to pay for the extra MD visit after accident and the representative said she would see about getting me a “little extra money for the injury claim”. Her exact words. This was just mentioned today. The accident was two weeks ago. They had to total my vehicle and they would like to get it wrapped up. Should I settle before the baby is born to make sure everything is okay? I am getting advice not to but I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to get alot of from them.

   Dowhatever you feel comfortable with. I cant imagine that your child will be injured by the accident if you have not noticed the signs already. (usually an accident can cause someone to go into labor etc.) If it was minor and you feel like having a couple extra hundred bucks- go ahead and settle. But of course if for some reason you feel your child will be injured.. then wait.

   You should be able to settle your auto losses and your personal injury separate. With your pregnancy, contact a lawyer. Fetal injury due to the accident would be tough to prove unless it was obvious to the naked eye,(sonogram), but chances are if you weren’t seriously injured, neither was the baby. Sign off on the car, lawyer up if need be on the personal injury.

   Not to sound harsh, but if there was a problem with your baby you would know by now.

   Your property damage and injury claim are separate of each other.
