I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law.   You are better off hiring a lawyer here to help your husband maximize the amount of money he can be entitled to.  You are not alowed to represent your husband becasue you are not a lawyer.  You do not know and will not know the extent of your husband's injuries.  you need to keep him treating with doctors.  I think that you will be doing your husband an injustice by not hiring a lawyer.  thats me.

Generally, if you were injured through the fault of another, you have the roght to recover all amounts you spent on treatment as a result of the accident.  In Louisiana, courts generall award damages of $1,500 to $2,500 per month for pain and suffering resulting from car wrecks such as these.  In my experience, insurance companies do not pay the full amount to individuals representing themselves.  People are usually better off hiring a lawyer to handle the matter for them so they get all they are entitled to.  I handle cases like these and you can call me for further advice.
