Best information and tips about injury claim car accident, automobile accident lawyers and personal injuries claim

I work for a personal injury atty. All our clients who do attendant care for injured family members get 1099s from insurance co with either box 6 (medical care) or box 7 checked (paymnts to attorney). One client got her 1099 with box 5 checked (misc. nonemployee income), and her accountant says there is no way to deduct the 1/3 that comes out of her monthly check for attorney’s fees. Does anyone know how to handle this?

Can I be sued for more than a car accident?

Posted in car accident lawyer on 08.03.11

I was involved in a rear end collision where passengers were injured.
I am pretty sure the victims will sue me since they have a lawyer, and my insurance will not cover me because there was a lapse in the policy.

i have a joint savings account with family members as beneficiaries, in case i were to die suddenly, they would have access to the account and vice versa.
my concern is can i be sued for that money?

Pain & suffer claim for an auto accident@ my fault?

Posted in car accident attorney on 04.02.11

I just got a call from my auto insurance claim dept. rep. and told me that my family members can claim for Pain & Suffer due to my fault car accident that had been settled while back ( I was the driver and my family was passengers in my car).
It was a little shock that even if my faulty accident, but my family still can claim against my policy.
However, it is clear that my family can claim thru my policy and my insurance offer my wife for 00, Kid#1 00, & Kid#2 04. Of course Nothing for me ^^;
Anyway, my wife med bill was 00 and treatment takes near 2 months and still in minor pain, Kid#1 E.R. bill was 00 & Treatment 00 for 2 months, could not attend school for 2 weeks, and Kid#2 treatment 00, no after pain.
I am sure that I will be facing a increasing ins in next renewal or maybe kick out.
Anyway, we decide to take a chance.
However, I calculated using a couple of website’s Pain & Suffer Claim calculator for offer, and find out my ins. offers are too low. Do I need to hire an attorney for the pain & suffer claim for my family to my faulty auto accident? The goal is very ovious that we try to get a better offer. Any advise will be appreciate.

car accident?

Posted in car accident lawyer on 12.05.10

Last summer me and a couple of my family members were involved in a car accident. Since then our lawyer has been working out all of these papers making sure the car insurance pays for the hospital bills. Our lawyer set a lawsuit against the other insurance company and every person in the car accident was supposed to get 30,000 dollars. But now the lawyer is saying that because I am not 18 I cannot receive my money. SO they have to put it in a bank account and I can only access it when I’m 18. What’s up with that? If this is true cant my mom just be my representative and take the money for me and then just give it to me? My mom is the one dealing with all this stuff and she doesn’t like to talk about it a lot so I was hoping someone here could help me.
I was planning on using part of the money to go visit my father in Spain. Is that wrong?

Should i get a lawyer to represent me for an accident i had when i was 7 weeks pregnant?

Posted in truck accident lawyer on 20.04.10

I was in an accident last week, I was hit from behind by a Waste Manement dump truck and hit two other cars on the freeway, my car was totaled. I am also pregnant. Many of my friends and family members told me to get a lawyer to get some money of the BI part. I really wasn’t hurt but when I went to the doctor they couldn’t really check if the baby was ok because I was only 7 weeks pregnant and they said it was too early to even hear a heartbeat. My adjustor said that they are going to leave the BI claim open due to what the doctor said. I had called a lawyer before and she told me to wait it out because once you get a lawyer involved it makes it a mess. Should I get a lawyer?
Let me add something for people that are taking this the wrong way. … I am only thinking about my child.. Because if it was for me I would of already gotten another lawyer to sue them…and another thing is knowing that I am not hurt I wouldnt want to cause a company to pay for something as frivoulous as that..I am an honest person with a conscious. Thanks for the helpful answers and not the judging ones.
