I need to know what to ask for on a Houston, Texascar accident?
I was about 23 weeks pregnant when some guy flew out and hit me in Houston, Texas. I was sent to the hospital and stayed for preterm labor, my medical bills are over $4000.00 and I only had soft tissue injuries.This guy is actually being sued for hitting another motorist. What is a fair settlement?

You need to let a very, very good Houston, Texas personal injury lawyer handle this for you. One place you can look for qualified attorneys in your area is our website, http://attorneypages.com
There are a number of things that go into the settlement value of a case; the same facts and the same injury can give a range of verdicts in the same Houston courthouse, and the range often varies from one courthouse to the next. All of the facts, including documentation like the police report and your hospital bills and records, would have to be reviewed.
I would think that this must have been a terrifying experience for you, I can't even imagine what it must have been like. Your auto accident attorney will not let you say "only soft tissue injuries." If the other attorney, at trial, were to use that phrase, your lawyer should chew him a new one, and the jury might make it an expensive new one. In the hands of a truly skilled lawyer, you have the best chance of being fairly compensated for this accident.
