Finding An Attorney In New York For Herniated Disc And Spinal Cord Injuries
I have a split spinal cord, chiari malformation and fibromyalgia. I have numbness in my right leg and about 4 months ago my left leg started burning and migrated to my left foot. Now my skin on my left heel is peeling away.
just wondering if a nerve root injection for a bulging disc which has aggrivated the sciatica nerve resulting in pain going down the leg and numbness ect has worked for any one??…been in agony for 4 months now….has any particular medication actually stopped the pain??
Magic is only 4 months old, he is a cocker spaniel. The vet is sending me to a specialist -says he has a spinal cord injury. He doesn’t voluntarily move his hind legs, holds his head to the left and seems to be in a lot of pain. I make very little money does anyone know what the surgery might cost? Is medication an option? Just any help would be nice. Thanks
I am 26. I had a lumbar fusion at the L4-5 lvl 03 April 2006. My surgeon said that I would feel like normal after three months. Here I am at 4 months and I am still in some pain. My back is killing me. It is hard for me to go shopping or walking downtown without being in a lot of pain that night. I recently seperated from th Air Force and I am looking for a job. I have turned down jobs because i could not physically perform the duties. How long was anyone else out of work, and how long did it take for the pain to go away? I was sure it would be sooner than this because I am young and I was in very good health and in shape before the surgery. Help???
I was rear ended 4 months ago. No doubt of the other guys guilt. He received 2 tickets for it and we even have the surveillance video from the store I was turning into. My question is, I received as they call it a soft tissue injury. I was taken by ambulance to the emergency room, MRIs showed the muscles affected were spasming severely. I was put on a 5 lb weight limit and pain pills and muscle relaxers. I was unable to do even routine things like sweep my floors let alone able to even pick up my children. The insurance company is not denying their responsibility but they only want to pay me 00 to cover my pain and suffering and mental anguish due to the recklessness of their client. I missed work, I have unpaid medical bills still that are currently in collections, and I still have pain if I over due it at work to this day. They are willing to pay my medical bills of 00. I have asked for ,000 to cover what I believe the pain and suffering and the total disruption to my life for the last 4 months since their client negligently hit me. They claim the 00 is their final offer, am I asking for too much? Or are they just not willing to pay what they should. I know of people who have gotten alot more for alot less happening.
It took me 3 1/2 months to decide what I have been though does equal money because I didn’t want to sound greedy. But realisticly how else to you get validation for the heartache, pain, stress, and interuption of your life? I feel by not "paying" something they are belittling the real pain, the loss of experiences, the loss of time that I missed out and can never get back because of their clients carelessness.
Thank you to those who understand what I was asking. Boo to those of you who try to judge and down grade what I am doing. 5 months ago I may have said the same thing as some of you, then I have had to go through the hell of this "accident". Don’t judge me until you have walked in my shoes. For those of you with the good advice, I have planned on settling for less without a lawyer, mainly because the guy’s insurance policy won’t pay more than ,000 so if I used a lawyer I would probably only get -6,000 anyways. I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track. Thank you!!
I was in a accident where a truck pulled out in front of me and i hit him and totaled my jeep. I went through almost 4 months of chiropratic treatments for a bill that totaled 07.00. How much should I expect the insurance company to pay in compensation on this claim. Or do i need a lawyer?
My 18 month old and I were rear ended on the interstate and went to ER immediately afterwards. The driver lied about her insurance so it took about a month to finally track down the correct insurance company. I went to a chiropractor for about 4 months then submitted my claim. The insurance company finally made me an offer of 00 that I find to be unacceptable. My chiropractor bills totalled k and the ER was k. They justify the offer because I didn’t start chiropractor until 6 weeks after the injury and the insurance company feels that it’s too long of a time to link the two.
Anyone have any advise on how to get a reasonable settlement without hiring a lawyer?

The pain stems from an herniated disc at L4 and L5. The pain feels like the flu but for about 4 months. I have an appointment today and was wandering what I need to ask for.

In Sept. 08 I injured my back at work. I work for an airline and the way we load bags and shove and pull them in and out of tiny spaces on our very small planes put a disc on the nerve and i was very hurt from it. I went to the ER and they put me on light duty. However Light duty was impossible because of the fact we work one person per flight. No one to help me. I told that to my boss and she said just have the pilots help you load and un load the plane. Well that is all fine if they help but some simply would not. I ended up injury myself further. Same injury just got worse. So I went back to the doctor and he said I could not handle a bag period not at the counter the plane nothing so there for there was no work for me and I was taken out of work due to the weight restrictions. Then it took a long time 4 months to be exact during christmas to even recieve a check the medical appointments were slowly being approved and the MRI took forever which my doctor would not release me anyways until those results. 4 months later I was released to work and the day after I got to go back to work i finally recived a card allowing me to fill perscriptions and show at appointments very very slow. So I was released in January and now May I got re injured. Now I am going thru it all again. I have a feeling this is never going to go away now. I have NEVER had back problems. Now I am limited with my everyday activities and my work has such a bad attitude calling me and telling me how nice they were to accept my workmans comp and they did not have to etc. Which is bull. So this time I thought im not waiting I paid out of my own pocket for a doctors appt so I was not waiting around getting worse so I could start physical therapy etc. I can not afford to pay all that though I just payed for my initial dr. visit. Im in fear I am either going to lose my job or be on a waiting game again. I need to work or I need something I am a single mom with 3 small children and having a zero income is not going to be good. any ideas how to speed this up? a lawyer perhaps but i am not sure what their role would even be.
A little background: My friend wrecked her car a little over a year ago with me in the passenger seat. I broke my foot in 4 places, spent 4 months on crutches and 3 in physical therapy. I had 4 screws put in my foot, which amounted to 2 surgeries. It still hurts to walk on and the doctors told me it will never be the same again. I am only 19 years old, so this has affected the rest of my life.
Now, it has come time to file the claim with my friend’s insurance company. My question is will I get more money if I file the claim on my own or if I hire a lawyer and possibly get more money, but let them take out a portion (about 1/4-1/3) of the settlement?
I had an accident during flight turbulence. I landed on an aircraft door handle. My MRI came back with nothing extrordinary except small tears in L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc. I guess it’s referred pain but it’s a deep pain in my right buttock that runs down my leg if I over do things. My GP, after 4 months is still saying muscle strain. My pyhsio knows a little more about back injury and says that it’s referred pain. Have you had anything similiar? From what I’ve researched on the internet it could be nerve damage….. I’m seeing a specialist on April 1st. I’m determined not to waste this appointment. What are the questions I should ask?
