This is my first accident. The lady went to switch lanes and wasn’t paying attention and basically side swiped me. I went to the hospital a few hours afterwards because my neck and upper back were hurting. They said I have a neck sprain and told me to rest and gave me pills. The next day, I was in EXTREME pain. We both have insurance… actually thru the same place. My mom told me I should get an attorney just to cover my own as$. What do you think?
There’s a police report. It was the other person’s fault. I live in Florida. We both have full coverage.

She was t-boned by a semi. The driver admitted fault. My mom is leary of when or IF her dull aches are going to disappear or are here to stay. She works full-time and is required to be on her feet all day. Should she accept the 0 or see an attorney for his guidance on the situation?

My lawyer dropped my case as she thought it was a "lost" case–the other driver’s insurance had only accepted 30% fault–70% corresponding to me (car accident happened in April 2008). Now, in December 2008 I come to find that the other driver was found 100% liable–at fault, after review from my insurance & arbitration. So now, his insurance is trying to settle with me directly, since I have no lawyer as she had dropped my supposed "lost"case.

We were on a contingency agreement–she got no money if I did not win. Since she dropped my case, but it was a "win-win" case, can I do anything or can she do anything to me? I had to basically start over as she abandoned my case. My insurance put up a much better fight than her (whoop whoop..shout out to Farmer’s Insurance lol)

I guess I’m just a little irritated with the fact that the attorney had accepted my case, didn’t even work hard enough to gather all the facts and really review my case, just went by the other’s driver’s insurance answer/proposal.

This same lawyer just represented my mom’s case which settled, so should I let her know I won the case after all without her help? What would I benefit?

Just simple questions I was wondering about..

Thanks!
This happened in Arizona –I am 100% not at fault.
Responsibility was determined by his and my insurance.

i was in a car accident with my boyfriend and his mother
i suffered the worst
i had a damaged lung, liver, spleen, fractured jaw, facial lacerations, and i lost sight in my eye
so far i have had
jaw surgery, corneal transplant, over 150 doctor appointments, and i have scar removal surgery EVERY 6 WEEKS on my face

so my question is, i have MEDICAID and im 18, living with my mother
i have never met my attorney or anything, my mother says shes taking care of it
BUT
she says that i will not get ANY money from the accident
my boyfriend and his mom are getting 150K EACH
and my mother says that im getting none cause we have to pay it ALL BACK to medicaid

well, my boyfriends mother says shes lying, cause they are only asking for 1/3 of the money (medicaid)
i live alone with my mother, and her and i have never gotten along
she gets drunk every night, and emotionally abuses me, and she never listens
we get in fist fights all the time also
do you think shes trying to take my money? how do i go about going to talk to my attorney?
if i ask my mother, she will bitch at me and say im not getting any money and no use to talk to the attorney

i know the NAME of my attorney but thats i
please help me, i need that money

The guy that hit me is the president of a bank and he was driving a company car (2008 Suburban) and the insurance he gave us for the police report is his business insurance, Zurich. My mom was driving and I was a passenger. We both suffered back injuries…mine are minor compared to my mom’s…she has a fractured compressed T-5 vertibrae and will need to have surgery to fix it. My main concern is the fact that I have had numerous panic/anxiety attacks since the accident and have not been able to return to work due to them. My physician put me on Prozac and referred me to a psychologist. The psyc said that I am suffering PTSD and compared my anxiety level to "Def Con 5". I am not the type of person to not go to work. I love my job, and I even work at home in the evenings and on weekends from my laptop at home. Since the accident, I have a panic attack just thinking about the smallest things, much less having to go to work. Any advice on how to handle? Should we pursue a lawyer?

I have a big problem and I really need your input on it. Last year, in August, I got in a car accident. A woman hit the red light and hit me. But we were both okay. My sister was in the back seat. After my sister checked on me, she went and checked on the woman, and the woman kept repeating this "I don’t know what I was doing, I don’t know what I was thinking.." and crying at the same time.

Unfortunately, my mom had just left the country to and her insurance was expired for 2-3 months. I was unaware. (It was my mom’s car) I wasn’t insured, but the woman was. When the cops arrived at the scene, I explained what happened. The woman played dead, even the cop knew it and told me. He wrote down in his report that it was a "No fault". He couldn’t take sides. I was 17 seventeen at the time of the accident by the way, But I had my license. So, my brother paid for the damages to my mom’s car, about 0 for the bumper. Her car wasn’t badly damaged either (but supposedly the damage was 17,000).

A few months later I recieved a letter from her insurance company, All State, and they basically just told me that they are going to investigate the details surrounding the accident and if their investigation points to me, I would have to pay the cost since I dont have insurance. Anyhow, I didn’t hear from them. Two days ago, my brother calls me from Michigan ( I moved outta the state to Utah for college) explainign to me I recieved a letter from a "Collection Agency", and they want me to pay ,000!!!! (She was speeding and hit me!) They said they are gonna put it on my credit??? Can a 17 year old even have a credit? I’m not even 18 yet, I will be On February 20, 2010. The accident was in August, 2009.

Should I be speaking directly to teh Insurance company or the collection agency? Should I geta lawyer, even though I’m broke as hell. I know I can be appointed one, but how’s that gonna work? The accident was in Michigan.. I swear she hit me,a nd she knows it. But the cops said it was a no-fault. So how can they make me pay when they can’t prove that it was my fault.

For the record, my driving record is clean and I have never been in an accident or anything. I don’t want this to affectmy credit. Please, tell em what I’m supposed to do because I ahve no clue. I can’t have this affect me. If it was my fault I would have admitted it, but I will not admit to something I did not to.

** I called the collection agency in January 2010, and they said if I pay now I can pay only 20,000. This is total BS.

Soooo, I’m writing a story and the main character’s parents are going to die… So she’s a 15 year old sophomore her older brother is going to be an 18 year old senior (in high school). She and her brother are going to be at school where they get a phone call that their parents died in a car accident with a drunk driver. Their parents were rich- her mom was a lawyer and her dad was a doctor, and they left them a lot of money in their will, but what would happen to the kids, since one is 18, a legal adult, and the other one is only 15? Thanks
