Does anyone have any advice for a settlement amount for a small personal injury? I am not going to get an attorney, it was fairly minor. The fault is totally on the other party, and they’ve settled 00 for myself for minor whiplash, missed work, etc. (0 of that was for pain and suffering). We’re getting ready to settle on my son’s settlement. His nose was fractured and he had a cut inside his mouth. His medical bills are approximately 00, what should I expect for pain and suffering for him? I don’t want to take advantage, but I don’t want to be taken advantage of… Never done this sort of thing before, so any advice is extremely welcome!! Thanks to all!!

My boyfriend is 17 and he pinched a nerve in his neck. He says it will just go away but I’m not convinced. He can’t move his head or neck other than left to right. His left shoulder also hangs lower than his right. I’m afraid that if he doesn’t get it treated he will be stuck like that. Should he have it treated or will it heal on it’s own?
I know that it can be treated but does it have to be? Because she isn’t going to go see anyone about it. He is stubborn and is sure that it will be okay.

I am in agony beyond belief. I cannot sleep. Seems that after nearly five years, my attorney did little to develop my PI case. Did not talk to the four witnesses, did not depose the defendants (owners of the art gallery).
Then, just 6 weeks before trial, he abruptly quit. Case worth 5,000 to 0,000.
5 years ago, at an art gallery a multi-paneled art object — 4 ft by 4 ft — broke from the wall & fell on me. Suffered soft-tissue neck injury. 4 witnesses. 5 doctors.
From the start, my Attorney said, We will have to go to trial. He suddenly quit just weeks before trial. Days before trial, Case so old judge would not grant me trial continuance. I settled for less than ,000. No choice. I plan to go to State Bar, then legal malpractice attorney. I was homeless, on welfare, this after working 6 years as software engineer. Lost everything I worked so hard for. Did get 100% Social Security disability. Needed compensation, though, to get back on feet.

I got into an accident around the end of october last year. At the scene the other guy’s car only had surface scratches since he owned a Mercedes and the bumper took all the impulse, my car was pretty badly totalled in the front. The first thing I did after the accident was walk out of my car to check if everyone was ok, I asked him and he said he was. So we called the police, we didn’t ask for an ambulance or nothing because it was a low speed collision and we both had seat belts on. So the police officer came and took our reports, and asked me if I was ok I said I was and he asked me if the other driver was ok as well, and I told him he was, the police officer asked the other driver as well. Now one year after the accident this driver is trying to make a claim on being bodily injured in the accident. I can prove using physics and dynamics exactly how much force was applied to his seat and through the seat belt onto him, I have the police officer as a witness, how will my case hold up
I am 100% sure he is trying to fraud me, I am pretty sure he cut me off right before a red light but that cant be proven. However the police officer can testify that he was ok at the scene, how badly his car was damaged, etc; isn’t this enough to win a jury over? What is this other guy thinking, that I am so stupid I will settle for what he askes knowing I can win the case so easily because I am innocent and he will be commiting purgery on stand by lying about his injuries? Also doesn’t he get checked by an unbaised doctor recommended by the judge to show what his injuries can be attributed to? I have Gieco insurance, will they do anything to help me prevent this obvious case of fraud? Is there any chance that this guy’s lawyer can trick a jury even with all my proof and evidence?
Thanks for any ideas, also should I contact Gieco’s fraud department and report this as such a case for investigation?
Please help me, i dont know what to do now.

I am a healthy 63 yo. male, Mri-diagnosed with a pinched nerve in the C-5 disk. This results in pain in both shoulders. I’ve had 2 cortisone shots in the back of my right shoulder and 2 epidural injections in the disk, with no relief.
Over the counter meds and prescription drug Ansaid haven’t helped.
I’m considering a Chiropractor.
So much for the retirement years!
Any suggestions….I want to play golf again

My wife and I were in an auto accident in Feb 08. It was in our 1993 Chevy truck. The other driver ran a red light and hit the driver side. As a result my head broke out the driver side window. I did not go to the ER in the ambulance we drove after the report was filed with the police. I went for neck and low back pain and wife sustained buises to her right arm and right knee. They did a Catscan that ruled I had severe whiplash and for the back pain they told me to folow up with a chiro. I recieved 2 month of treatment from them for my back. I actually stopped going because the visits started hurting. After not going for a week or so. It still hurt a getting out of bed and every now and then it would remind me. I am a police officer and light duty is not an option. Anything can happen at anytime. About a month ago I woke on a day off and I couldn’t walk without have back pain and shooting pain around my ribs, breathing hurt.I thought it was the way I slept. cont.
The pain persisted all day. I decided to sleep on another bed. All night and the next morning PAIN,PAIN,PAIN. So I went to the ER I couldn’t even made it from the car to the door. After 7 hours of getting my pain under control.|The ER doctor advised that I have a herniated disc and gave me a week off work. So in bed on my back for four days pain lets up enough to return to work. I followed up with my doctor who gave me more pain medication and sent me for x-rays. Now at work I have to get out of my patrol car periodically because my legs go numb. |I have stopped wearing my bulletproof vest because it helps a little. BAD IDEA I know but what do I do Find a new career. Still have to go back to see what x-rays showed but I am wondering what to do about the injury settlement. We already settled the vehicle part. The damages were 00 to the vehicle totalling it. Considering the truck was worth 00.
All help from claim personal would be great!!!!!!!!!

I am shopping for auto insurance. I currently have zero assets (literally) since I just got out of college. However, I am in a profession that pays good money; so, I expect to have a good chunk of money saved up over the next 5 years. To protect future assets, should I presently get a high liability coverage, or just worry high liability coverage once I have considerable amount of money saved up. Also, if I am held liable for someone else’s injury, could they go after my retirement accounts?
FYI, I have not injured anyone. If you read the details, it should be clear that the question is hypothetical.

My left shoulder and arm are killing me, the left side of my neck hurts slighty and my left hand is shaky.

I went to a chiropractor years ago for neck problems on that same side, but it got very expensive and time consuming.

Does this sound like a pinched nerve to anyone that may have experienced it? Are there any other remedies besides adjustments by a chiropractor?

For example, I went through physical therapy due to injuries sustained from an auto accident. My health insurance company paid for the physical therapy. Once the claim is settled, will part of the amount of the settlement be used to reimburse my health insurance company for the physical therapy?

I believe i have a pinched nerve

it goes from my back through my butt and down my leg
I keep asking my mom to take me to the doctor and im sure she will soon

I cant run or even move the wrong way without being in so much pain help?

auto accident payout from Bodily Injury coverage
The accident was in Florida (location wouldn’t make a difference though since it’s the state where the policy was written that determines the coverage, not the location of the accident), I was treated for about a year and a half. No medical assistance was done at the scene.
I already have a lawyer handling this. I’m ready to settle or I wouldn’t be asking this question.

My daughter shattered her arm in an auto accident last weekend (Friday) and had surgery a week later (Friday) to fix it. She was the passenger in the car. She does not have any health insurance. The police report states that due to conflicting stories, they cannot place who was at fault. But I was able to obtain a CD from a service station that had the accident on tape. The other party turned in front of my daughter while they both had a green light. After asking around to friends and family, nobody knows of a good attorney for me to contact! I’m looking for all of her medical bills to be paid, as well as lost wages. Has anybody had success with a certain lawyer or know of a good one I can call? I would really like a referral instead of just picking one out of the phone book. Thanks!
