Two notable injuries I can think of was Jermaine Dye {Athletics} bending & braking his shin in a playoff game, & Shaun Livingston {Clippers} knee injury. 2 really hideous boo-boos would be Joe Theismann {Redskins} having his shin snapped like a twig & the grosser scene of someone who parlayed getting Clint Malarchuk’s jugular for his carotid. When I saw that on a ESPN story, I thought, "$%¶§! That is horrifying! " It’s a miracle Malarchuk is still alive.

What other sports injury grossed u out? Or do the Malarchuk or Theismann injuries take the cake? Thumbs up if u also (un4tunately) happened 2 b @ the game & even have a camera or camera-phone 2 witness it.

I am wondering, what it consists of, how long it takes to recover & what is the chances of it working, and the future?

I recently got into an accident (3 days ago). I got into an accident a few years ago (almost exactly 4 years ago).. got a lawyer, and it finally settled last year, but I still don’t really know how everything works and don’t even remember the steps I took last time. I think I waited to get my lawyer after the other company tried to settle with me (for thousands less than I ended up with.. they were only willing to give me 0 total for myself and my daughter, and I settled for ,000 minus lawyer fees & medical bills). Anyway, this is all really inconvenient because I’m moving across the country in 2 weeks. Because of the accident I was in 4 years ago, I still and probably always will have pain in my upper back & shoulder area. I started getting massages again about a month ago because I stopped getting adjustments due to the fact that I can’t afford them now that I pay for them out of pocket. I had med. insurance with my employer, but until my 0 deductible was hit, I had to pay per adjustment until it was hit, and times are rough so I just wasn’t able to afford it. Now I’m unemployed, but have standard Tri-Care under my husband, but Tri-Care doesn’t cover chiropractic care, so either way, I would be paying out of my pocket. I’m already having pain (since the day after the accident) in my back and a little more. I’m going for a follow-up this week, as well as my daughter’s (she was involved, but luckily NOT hurt!). Since we’re moving out of state, will the other insurance company cover physical therapy there? And how will they be able to contact me about settling since I’m across the country? Should I get a lawyer now, before they even give me an offer, because I know if I need to get one I’ll have to fly back out here to do it because I can only get a lawyer in this state since the accident occurred here. Just wondering when/if I should do it.
I stopped getting my adjustments last Dec. but even then, years after the accident, my chiropractor advised me to come in at least once every two weeks.

Today at practice when we I was going live with this girl she sprawled on me when I was on my knees. It bent my back & im scared I hurt my back or something. Did I mess up my back & what could I do to help it get better?

S-1, L-4 & L-5 are being fused and secured with titanium rods and screws. What do you think? Does anyone have any experience with this type of surgery?

When I was in a car accident just over a year ago, I suffered a lot injuries. I was hit by someone who was 100% at fault and carries insurance. I was also on the job at the time of the accident, so workers comp has been paying my doctor & med bills. I missed a lot of work and took unpaid time off for doctor visits, physical therapy, etc… I am feeling better, but still not 100%. I am wondering if I should get a lawyer to handle this. I don’t know if I need to get a settlement from the insurance company of the person who hit me so I can pay back workers comp (who has been paying my bills) and pay back my insurance (who initially paid several of my bills). I’m just not sure how all of this works. I was hit in Wisconsin if that makes a difference. Thank you for your help!

Yeah I have been in a car accident 2 months ago and he hasn’t called me. First of all we were the victims of this accident. Some drunken idiot was going on the opposite of a one way street and we were running on a green light and we T boned him on his right side of his car. Well it turns out that he isn’t the owner of the car but borrowed it and he also tried to run away(prob. in jail). ok well we got a lawyer and he did get our case.So its been like 2 months now & also called but he could never talk to me only the lawyers helper(secretary?) and she is the only one talking to me. I don’t get enough help from her at all. I have been going to the chiropractor for therapy and that’s all I have been doing. I been wanting to go see some doctor and psychiatrist because ever since the accident I have been getting anxiety attacks and my knees are still hurting even though they didn’t find anything broken bones in me. I didn’t get any help just cause I don’t have medicaid medicare health insurance and need to pay from my pocket which I don’t have any! We didn’t even get a rental car from the other person car insurance. I have lost my job all because of the accident. I have no income whatsoever and haven’t got my mileage from going to therapy. It was 3 of us in the accident and we are still in pain but I don’t see the therapy helping at all. We lost our car and relying on the taxi and bus transit, its not the same I never even spoke once to my lawyer and he is too busy from what i heard. I am now thinking if this lawyer is only thinking about himself and not about us just waiting to get the money at the end of all of this that’s if we even get something. Sorry for too much detail.

I might get served by the sheriff this month for cicil lawsuit credit card debt & wanted to know how many days or weeks is the court date scheduled on? So that i can have enough time to file for bankruptcy & avoid a judgement & garnishment…

I recently had a car accident. I was waiting for a green arrow to turn into the neighborhood and go to my friend’s house. By the time my "arrow" went green, as I turned, I suddenly got hit on the the corner of the passenger’s side that caused me turning 360 degrees & ended up behind that car which end up hitting the pole. There were only two of us and he was going straight on a red light but by the time the policemen came, he reported as the incident is unresolved and it’s not one’s fault because both sides claim that they had a green light. It was his fault apparently ’cause he went on a red light and "I" on the other hand, had a "green arrow" not a green light where i should be yielding to him. And so, I went to get a lawyer and they told me that I only have 50/50 chances. Which makes me mad because I was the one who got injured badly and my car got hit pretty badly as well.at the end it’s hard to determine since I ended up being behind his car. Do you think i’ll win this case?
it was the Left green arrow by the way. And he hit me the corner ( on top of my front rear wheel)
He’s a new driver and he got his driver license the day before the accident. He’s around 17 or 18 so does that help?

I had spinal surgery 04/30/07. I went back to work 09/04/07, still in pain. The pain got so bad the doctor had to take me back off work 10/02/07. After more test they found the hardware(screw) had broken & the spine was shifting stopping the bone from fusing. Has anyone ever heard of this? They wanted me to go back to surgery & I said no. What can I do?
Has anyone ever heard of this? The surgery is not to fix the broken hardware(screw) too dangerouis. It’s to add more hardware. I tired of surgeries, this was my 3rd spinal surgery.

I was involved in a accident in which I was hit in the front & driver side I was driving an older blazer so It didn’t sustain much damage (00) However the at fault driver was in a much smaller auto that was totaled.My Knee had ruptured blood vessels, Meniscus tears, swelling,Bruising & severe pain, it Buckles & in 1 incident It caused me to fall injuring my knee even much more, I also had mild cervical strain,Right ankle sprain & upper & lower back pain. My PCP referred my to an orthopedic specialist, physical therapy & chiropractor. I have been in treatment for 22 weeks and have been released by PT & Chiropractor, to go back as needed.released by Ortho specialist to return for injections to knee as needed or other possible treatment. I continue to have pain & can’t sleep on right side but am considered as good as i will be. Also in the accident I had my 13 year old son with me who was thankfully not injured, but I drive him to & from school every day, during the 1st few weeks I could not drive and had very limited mobility. What would be a good settlement for these injuries?
The insurance company has paid to have my vehicle repaired. My Health insurance is paying for my medical bills but its my understanding that I will have to pay them back after the settlement.
What kind of injuries would these be considered? (Soft Tissue)?

My 8yr old son is getting $$$ from a lawsuit. The amount is less than 50K, but more than 30K (attorneys fees & costs aren’t calculated).
The Court through which this lawsuit was handled is assuming they will take control of this money until my son is 18. If I allow them to do so, what would they likely do with the money? What type of return should be expected, if any?
It seems that it would be best for me to take control of the money and to learn the best way to invest it for my son? Any suggestions on this?
