How much will I get?

To start with, you will get to keep all the money that we already got for you up front (from which we were not paid anything).  This up-front money includes all of the money you already got for medical bills, lost wages, mileage allowance, yard work and house work (not to mention, where applicable, towing, storage, repairs, total loss, rental and "loss-of-value").  Your settlement check is not all "profit".  So, you will not get to keep all of it for yourself.  Remember, while your settlement check includes money that you will get to keep for your injuries (for "pain and suffering"), it always includes money that you owe to your lawyers, and usually includes money that you still owe to doctors, hospitals, ambulances, the MRI center, and sometimes the settlement check includes money you owe back to medical insurance companies and government agencies (which already paid some or all of your medical bills).  We always try to save you settlement money by making deals with people you owe money to (such as your doctors or your non-auto medical insurance company) to pay them less then you really owe them (to help you keep more settlement money for yourself).  You alone receive all of those savings that we generate in this way, not us. But, except for those savings we generate for you by negotiating down the amount you have to pay others from the settlement money, you will not be able to keep settlement money that really belongs to others who are also supposed to be paid out of the settlement funds.
