    AAA Car Accident Attorney

    Our law firm always advises that those who pursue compensation from an insurance company like AAA seek legal advice before doing so. AAA Insurance is a business like any other, and its primary goal is to turn a profit; for this reason, it can be very difficult to earn a settlement at all, let alone one that fully covers all of your damages and injuries. The worst part is that AAA is equally unlikely to pay you whether you are an opposing driver who was not at fault in an accident or a paying customer of their services. Our attorneys at Normandie Law Firm are here to help you receive a sizeable injury settlement for your damages and will work with you to beat AAA’s unfair practices and reluctant services. Our clients often call us with questions regarding AAA; some of these questions include:

    • How much does AAA offer for a car accident?
    • How long does it take to receive settlement offers from Automobile Club for an auto accident?
    • How much money can a victim of an accident receive?
    • What is the average AAA settlement for a car accident?

    AAA Information

    AAA Insurance is a business that incorporates more than just insurance coverage into its services. It is an organization that is over a century old, and it also offers options for homeowner’s insurance, motorcycle insurance, life insurance, and more. Further, it dispatches employees for roadside assistance, such as helping those who have flat tires or who need a change of battery. 

    When it comes to insurance, AAA offers various types of coverage for its customers. There are numerous tiered insurance levels with different deductibles and coverage amounts. However, despite potentially being a loyal customer who pays more, you may still be treated poorly by the organization. 

    If you are involved in an auto accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, bicycle accident, or pedestrian accident, you should be wary of immediately pursuing compensation through AAA, especially if you need a quick settlement to pay off doctor’s bills or mechanic’s fees. It is advised to seek out the assistance of an experienced attorney to help you pursue compensation, as he will be more than able to maneuver around the negotiation tactics of the insurance adjuster. 

    A proper lawyer can also greatly speed up the settlement process. Insurance companies usually drag their feet and take their time responding to claims, if they respond at all. They usually do this in order to frustrate you, so that when they make their first offer, you will be more inclined to accept it under the mindset that you waited this long and do not want to wait any longer. Regardless, how long it takes for your settlement to be processed depends on the complications of the claim and how many damages you are seeking, as well as how clear cut the case is. It may take a few weeks for your claim to reach and be evaluated by an adjuster, and even longer for him to conduct his own investigation. 

    Keep in mind that if AAA does not respond to your claim in a timely manner, you may be able to file a suit of bad faith against the company. 

    Determining the Value of your Case

    Your case will be evaluated by an insurance agent and he will look for various factors to determine the amount you may be eligible for. In general, agents look at the severity and extent of any injuries and the effect these injuries have on your quality of life and ability to work, the amount of damage done to your car or other property, and the level of emotional pain and suffering you’ve sustained. How much you can earn will usually be a combined value of all of these – however, it should be noted that there is no AAA settlement calculator that asks for damages and spits out a settlement. These claims are dealt with on an individual basis, and thus, each one can have wildly different values attached to it. 

    For example, if you and another person were both involved in a car accident and suffered similar injuries to your hands, but his job requires him to use his hands all day, the offer could be higher for him, while the offer may be lower for you. 

    It should also be noted that the settlement value of a case cannot be determined until you have reached maximum medical improvement or have fully healed from your injuries; these medical bills must be used as a benchmark in measuring the value of your case. Any future medical costs can be estimated by a medical professional, though. This practice allows AAA to make sure it is not overpaying its customers for damages. They will often use this to try and lowball the offer, however; a group like Normandie Law Firm will be able to make sure you receive your fair compensation for your damages, and we are willing to fight all the way to court if necessary. 

    AAA Settlement Offers

    When it comes to determining the average Triple A settlement offer for an auto accident, it can be difficult to come up with a concrete number. There are many cases that are settled for very high amounts, and as a result, the average is skewed to be higher than the median; a few cases worth over a million dollars can make the average value look like it nets defendants a lot of money, but in reality, many cases are settled for less than $20,000.

    Regardless, an experienced attorney will be able to inform you as to the potential value of your claim and make an estimate as to what you can earn. We have provided some examples of other settlements and verdicts that have been awarded in AAA Insurance cases. You can use these as examples of what can potentially be earned as opposed to what will be awarded, as each case is different. 

    • $100,000 Settlement: A man was involved in a car accident wherein he was greatly injured. He suffered trauma to his chest, collapsed lungs, and pulmonary issues. The opposing driver hit her limit, while AAA rejected his claim, saying that his injuries were not as damaging as he claimed. He was given $75,000 from AAA and $25,000 from the responsible party. 
    • $90,000 Settlement: A 36-year-old police officer was involved in a rear end accident while conducting a traffic stop. The man suffered a herniated disc and back injuries that forced him out of his career. After much negotiation, AAA settled the case for $90,000. 
    • $120,000 Verdict: A 48-year-old woman contracted RSD (or CRPS) after being involved in a car accident. Some years later, she was involved in yet another accident, and the injuries there worsened her RSD. On both occasions, AAA denied the extent of her injuries and challenged her claim, but after the second incident, they were forced to pay through a court’s decision. 
    • $210,000 Settlement: An 18-year-old college student was given the right of way to cross the street on her bicycle by a passing vehicle. Another car attempted to go around the stopped vehicle and struck her. She suffered numerous lower body injuries. AAA argued that was not a pedestrian. Regardless, they paid out a settlement of $210,000.

    Our Law Firm

    Many times, clients who come to us asking about average values of cases already have attorneys. They are often curious about what other cases have earned and want to know if they are being misrepresented by their lawyers. Sadly, many lawyers are liable to speed through cases and seek to quickly settle for low amounts so they can receive a paycheck and move on to the next case. This is an act of bad faith, and we believe you should search for an attorney who cares about you and what you can receive in a settlement.

    Our attorneys are willing to give you a free second opinion on your case. We will be happy to sit down with you and discuss your potential settlement value, as well as what we believe your current attorney is doing wrong.
