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

I was in a minor car accident 3 yrs ago that was my fault. The police were called and a report was filed. At the time the report was filed no one claimed they were hurt, there was only minor damage to our vehicles. My insurance company paid to get his vehicle fixed. Now I’m being sued for emotional damages and loss of wages. Shouldn’t my insurance company handle this? I don’t have alot of money and am just barely scraping by so I can’t afford to pay them and can’t afford a lawyer. What do I do?

Accident Settlement.. not enough to pay medical bills? Bankruptcy?

Posted in accident injury lawyer on 27.03.11

I was in a car accident in 05. It’s been five years now. Just yesterday I accepted a ,000 dollar settlement. My medical bills are several times that amount. There is no way I can pay them off. After five years of court date after court date.. depositions.. paper filing and two lawyers. I’m sick of it. And even though I will have to live with my injuries for the rest of my life.. I’m sick of fighting and want to put this behind me. So I accepted. My lawyers told me in the beginning to expect 0,000 or more due to my injuries and the nature of the accident. But the case got more and more twisted as time went on and now the insurance company just wants to take me to court.. where I could walk away with nothing.

This is my question. . I kind of asked my lawyer this. He said that the only bill that I HAD to pay from the settlement was to a hospital due to a lien? Then I would be down near ,000.

Anyways. I’m twenty-one years old. And don’t see how I am ever going to get these bills paid. My question is:

Can I spend the money and then file for bankruptcy? Or would that make me ineligible?

I want to use the money for schooling and to fix up my parents house. I don’t think it’s wrong of me to do such a thing. I have suffered for five years now with major back injuries and severe PTSD. I deserve to use that money how I please.. right?

Thanks :)
Let me edit something. Before I ever looked into a lawyer the insurance company offered me ,000 dollars. I then began to look for a lawyer. When I found one and retained him. It was in the contract that his cut would not leave me with anything less than ,000 dollars. So he is actually only going to get ,000 dollars from the settlement. The lein from one of the hospitals is ,000 dollars. That leaves me with a check for ,000 dollars. My question is.. if I spend the money can I file for bankruptcy? I haven’t signed the papers yet. The problem with this whole case was that my lawyer hasn’t been able to prove that the farmer was negligent. His cows got out of their pasture and .. in a vehicle.. I hit one. It came through the windshield and smothered me. Most of my bills are for PTSD.. which i’ve been told is hard to sell to a jury.

I was in a car accident and have injuries but chiropractor wants to release me, what do I do?

Posted in car accident lawyer on 27.03.11

I was rear ended yielding to turn right at an intersection by someone who wasn’t paying attention and when I was hit, my body was turned left to see if I could go out onto the oncoming traffic. Initially I was in shock, 1st accident, so I didnt know what to think. His car had little damager and my bumper was the only thing damaged. Called my mom and she told me to call the police and get his info and police report. Did that and went to work.

While at work, noticed I was having difficulty standing and experienced pain and stiffness in my neck. Left work early, took meds and went to sleep. Woke up next morning sore, my mom told me to go to Chiropractor and he told me I had a pinch nerve in my neck which caused the stiffness there and pain in my lower back. He set me up on a 5 week treatment and sent me to visit with a lawyer. The lawyer told me since there was little damage to my car that they probably wouldn’t be necessary. I told my chiropractor and he said he would release me VERY soon since my damages were less than 00. Can he do that? What happens now? I’m still in pain from this accident? Will I have to pay the Chiropractor out my own pocket if I seek my 5 week therapy or what happens?

Total damages to my car were roughly 0..

What should I expect from this car accident I have no clue?

Posted in car accident lawyer on 26.03.11

I got rear ended on the 22nd by possibly a drunk driver I think because I saw his twitter and at 6 am it said he is leaving the club after popping bottles all night long I got rear ended at approximately 50 to 60 mph my car is a total loss went to the hospital in an ambulance went to a chiropractor the next day and they also took xrays and asked for the hospital xrays ok No MRI xray and catscan they said I have subluxations running from neck down the spine I know that subluxations are frown upon and stuff but he showed me the xrays my neck isnt anywhere close to the shape as a normal xray he showed me my back is a bit to one side leaning the spine is not straight and my lower back has some slippage he said. He said it can take anywhere from 4 to 8 months to recover he also mentioned that the accident caused torn ligaments from what he sees in the xray I am not looking to milk the company out of money I have been in genuine pain they gave me pills at the hospital the chiropractor gave me a neck brace to help with the damaged muscles and a pillow so my neck can slowly get adjusted back to its normal shape and I have for weeks of visit three times a week for adjustments and other things if I need anything else they will send me to specialist or an orthopedist this chiropractor has been honored by past president bush and two mayors of the city he is legit and very professional very good first impression and not the chiropractor showed me the xrays the doctor did. The other driver was uninsured and suspended license and he did all this to me I have allot of pain it isnt about revenge I just want a fair settlement what should I expect to happen? yes I got a really good lawyer morgan and morgan but I want to hear other peoples opinions thanks

Need help with my insurance settlement… i am so confused with it!!!?

Posted in car accident attorney on 26.03.11

ok, so it was a car accident and my attorney is working on my insurance settlement. It was through uninsured motorist coverage of mine so my limit was 30,000 per person. My medical bills when i added them up from the papers from the hospital(s) and doctors and surgeons…came up to about ,800.I had an 80/20 health insurance policy but i also had an arisa policy? i guess where ihave to reimburse my health insurance for their costs because it was due to an accident. whatever!! i dont get it but anyways… my lawyer told me today that the people that were taking care of getting the money back from my settlement for my health insurance are only asking for ,150.17 but they were billed ,000…(?) and then they told me that they are trying to get the fee waived… and then my costs for my 20% of my bills should be covered by my deductible… (?) does thsi make any sense to anybody? i though for sure i would walk away from this accident with absoltely no money at all….. cont…..
buti was told today by my attorney that after my bills are paid and he has collected is fee i would walk away with about 1/3 of my settlement….. how in the freak is that possible? i mean im not complaining by any means whatso ever..but i mean.. really how?

Victim in car accident help?

Posted in truck accident lawyer on 26.03.11

In 2008 my friend was driving and I was in the back seat. Their was a brown out on the street and the traffic light was flashing red. She did not stop and ran the light. She T-boned a truck and we spun out and she totaled her car. I hit my head very hard and was actually knocked unconcous temporarily. We were sent to the hospital ( I was sent with a neck brace on a stretcher ) We were at the hospital for hours and they put me through a cat scan. They sent me home with the brace and gave me 2 tylonols. Over the past year and a half the pain in my neck has been getting worse and has affected my work and my sleep. My primary care has reffered me to see a physical therapist. I have not been able to seek further medical help because I work full time. The other reason being that my friend’s insurance company wants me to pay out of pocket and then be reimburced for the expences while "in treatment" I unfortunately, don’t have that kind of money. The claims adjuster has outright neglected my phone calls and now the debt collectors have sent my debt to a lawyer. I haven’t even been able to see all of my collective expences so far because no one will give me a straight answer on what I owe.

What do I do now?
The claims adjuster for my friends insurance company just sent me a settlement paper. with a $$ amount on it. With nothing to back up the amount.
She never discussed it with me and since she sent the paperwork the adjuster still won’t return my calls.

The debt has already gone on my credit. and I want it removed.

how to resolve auto accident.?

Posted in auto accident lawyer on 26.03.11

ok, we were in a car accident couple days ago.We were in a busy road and she was going to turn into the lot and i was coming down on the road and she turned and i hit her.I had no way of stopping because i was to close and was going on 40.We took all the info and she had a heart problem so they called the ambulance for her.The officer at the scene told me that she was at fault because she should have waited until u went by.So i called her insurance company and guess what no insurance.I called her to tell her that and she said that i am at fault and she says that she has hired a lawyer to sue me.Can she do that?What can i do?please any advice would be great.We still don’t have the police report ,because it takes like 5 days.But i am 100% sure shes at fault.
