Years ago, I was dating an attorney when I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle.
According to her, add up all your costs (lost wages, bicycle, doc bills, etc) and ask for 5 times that amount. The insurance companies will start by offering 2x that amount.
As your mother is retired and no lost wages, it doesn't seem her "costs" amount to much?
In my case, I got over the 5X amount when I dropped the name of a very good local personal injury and mentioned I planned to go get his advice. IN the end, I didn't use an attorney.
