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

After auto accident settlement for 2 months already, lawyer had not really updated me why the hospital bills were not taken care of. Lawyer is unreachable. My hospital bills are now in collection. I have already received ,000 pocket money for my settlement, but I am still due a different of ,500 but have not received yet. What should I do? Should I wait for the lawyer to take care of the hospital bills and for how long should I wait? Should I be able to receive the difference yet or I have to wait until the hospital bills are taken care of? Thanks.

I had a car accident few years ago. Last month my attorney and I finally made a settlement with opponent’s insurance company. Now, this week I got a phone call from my lawyer saying that I need to pay the hospital bills out of my settlement. My hospital bills include chiropractic bills (for 4-6months), orthopedic surgeon bills (one time consultation), MRI bills,etc. When I receive a settlement check from my lawyer, my lawyer already deducted his share of 30%, other legal fees, and all the consultation fees except the chiropractic office visit fees. He’s saying that this chiropractic office didn’t get his money from the insurance company, and now wants to collect his bills thru us. I don’t understand why this happened and why they asking me to pay the bills. If I need to pay this bill, that leaves me no money in the settlement fee.The attorney already took his share (33%+other legal fees). I’m very confused and I already spent all money to pay off my old bills. Please help me.

I worked for seven years at a Fortune 500 company. I left in 2007, while holding the position of Supply Chain Manager (Project Manager), via a voluntary buyout (the entire logistics division was sold to a third-party vendor.) I enrolled in an Ivy League law school and completed two of the three years. After completing my second year, I was involved in a motor-vehicle accident. The subsequent recovery and rehab left me unable to work for almost a year. Sadly, the wrangling over hospital bills with my insurance carrier and compensation for my injuries left me less than pleased with the entire legal system. I have no desire to resume my schooling. Also, with medical expenses, my financial situation does not allow me the luxury to become a full-time student again.

In general, I understand it is not a good idea to list incomplete schooling on a resume. If I don’t list something, I have a resume gap stretching to 2007. What to do?

In a perfect world, I could indicate I spent the second half of 2009 and first half of 2010 in the hospital and physical therapy. However, writing anything about the accident on my resume strikes me as unprofessional and a bit desperate.

How do I explain three years? I suppose I can include this information in a cover letter, but many online sites have no place for a cover letter and I’ve been told that more than one page of an resume does not work well (engineers and CVs excluded.) Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I, along with the tenants upstairs had carbon monoxide poisoning and we all spent the day at the hospital in April of 2006. The poisoning happened because in the 15 years I lived there, the landlord never had the chimney cleaned, and the stuff from the furnace caused a major blockage. I’ve called my attorney’s office several times in the past 3 years, but they never return my call. I know they wait a while to see if there are any more medical repercussions, but approximately how long do these cases usually take?
The upstairs tenants and I hired an attorney together the following day of the incident. The attorney took the case, and I have spoken to him in person, like at the supermarket, just in passing. He keeps telling me to call because he’s wrapping things up, or he had to file something. I’m really just expecting the hospital bills paid.

I got into an accident. the man driving behind me hit me going about 30 mph. He has admitted fault to me and to his insurance. I have a pre-existing injury and it has made it so much worse. Now I am worried that I need to talk to a lawyer before I go forward! I feel that, while I’m not interested in ruining this guy who hit me, or taking him to court for some huge settlement beyond his insurance limit, I am interested in being fairly treated. There are hospital bills to think of, and I am in constant pain now. I am kind of afraid about the whole thing.Two extra things– I had moved from another state and didn’t realize my registration had run out. I was un-registered at the time of accident.(I immediately registered and inspected it before driving it again!)And, I was so out of it when it happened that I didn’t call the cops!Then I almost passed out at work. My husband took me to the ER and nothing broken.I saw my Dr. before/after the accident and he said 2-6 months to heal.Answers?

I was in a car accident on Sept 2007 and I was injured very badly. (A large delivery truck ran a red light and t-boned me) With the economy so bad, I lost my job and can afford to make payments on hospital bills. The collection office says they want money right away. My settlement from my accident will be revealed at the end of January. My question is when the lawyers take there % out of my check, the rest of the money will go to me and I will take care of the hospital bills myself right?
