Your own car insurer should be paying for the medical care and treatment. Those benefits last for your daughter's life (which is 1 of the benefits the insurance industry and Michigan legislators are trying to take away from all motorists under the guise of "choice"). If you are asking what is a 3rd party case vs. an at fault owner/driver with such injuries, the answer is "it depends". It depends on how clear the relationship of the injury is to the crash, what the medical literature/studies say about the relationship, how strong her doctor is in his/her opinion/evidence of the relation, etc. There is no "formula" for the amount a settlement should be and depends on many factors, including, but not limited to: the nature/extent of the injury/treatment, the cost of the treatment, the "clearness" of the proximate cause of the injury to the crash, the reputation of the treating doctor, the mo of the defendant's insurance company, etc. It is best to have a lawyer review the facts/circumstances and give input.

Are you selling the RND disorder? If so, I do not want to buy it. Any case is worth what you can prove to a jury. that is something that you and your attorney should discuss.

Why have you waited 6 years? How old is the child? If she is under 18 still and you can prove causation all you need is the doctor who proves causation and a lawyer. you don't prove RSD or anything else by saying it or thinking it. you prove it by medical testimony. If the insurance co does not believe you it is probably because you have provided no medical proof. They will continue to do so.

There is no magic number or formula for the value of a claim. However, I will tell you, RND is a difficult and controversial condition that has to be properly diagnosed and documented by a Doctor I am guessing that since the insurance company is not taking the claim seriously, the medical end has not been properly documented. You should get the diagnosing physician to give a final report addressing causation and permanency issues as well as future care needs and costs. Those are all major considerations the insurance company will need in evaluating your claim. You may want to Google for free information on Alabama law. If you decide you need a lawyer, look for one with knowledge and experience in Alabama accident law.
