Is it fair to ask to get a settlement including the tuition of school?

Question

I was in a car accident last September, I was the passenger so I wasnt at fault at all, and I got a concussion. This was I think my 6th or 7th concussion. Due to the concussion I couldnt complete any school work, and I basically had a learning disabilty until my brain was healed. So during this time I did very poorly, because my brain wasn't exactly in functioning order. The medical bills for $1045 and they didnt pay $150 because it was "excessive". I only went to the ER once right after the crash. Tuition is $5510 per semester and I want to claim that as damages so a total or $14,110. Is this fair?

Answer 1

I think the first step is that you would have to have a doctor confirm why you got poor grades ... that might be hard to prove.

Answer 2

Lots of luck!       You said you only went to the ER once?  Were you under the regular care and attention of a physician after that???? Because unless you were,  the other party is in an excellent position to say "Bull-----!"

Answer 3

Nope, not fair.  

See, you already had brain damage - see the precident you already listed.  If you were a straight A student before, and you went to an F, well, that's an arguement.

On the other hand, you can ASK for whatever you want.  But I don't think you're going to get tuition.
