Last night my stepson his son and his biological father were injured in a car accident. A wrecker carrying a car on a flatbed had not secured the vehical correctly. Just as my stepson saw that it was about to come loose , it did!
The car came off the truck and slammed into the passenger side of my stepson’s pickup. This sent him into the guardrail. The truck is a total loss. He and his dad were shanken up and are pretty sore but my grandson hit his head, yes he had a seatbelt on, and had to have 12 stitches and stay in the hospital until 2am this morning.
My daughter works part time for a lawyer, who came down to the hospital last night. He said he will handle it. Im sure he will, for a fee.
What is fair? IF the wrecker company broke more than one law is there more than one lawsuit?
I can think of a few. Failure to secure his load. Wreckless endangerment. Bodily injury. Mental anxiety [my wife]. etc

I worked in a warehouse during the summer, I had to lift heavy boxes (20-90 pounds) from a pallet onto a conveyer so as you can imagine I had to reach over my head and bend to lift many of them. My boss was there beside me a lot of the time although he would just cut the boxes open, and hassle me to go faster continuously.

I injured/strained my back doing so, lower, middle, neck and and shoulders. I wouldn’t say it was severe, as I can walk, bend, move, etc, more or less but there was this strong and chronic all around pain and discomfort and a numbness i cant really explain.
I filled out A workers Claim form for the injury. This was 2 months ago, now im getting physiotherapy. I quit the job as they were going to fire me and because im a student.

But i know that i injured myself because and while i was pressured by the manager, and when hired i wAs told id have to lift 35 pounds tops. I want to know whats my case if i want to sue?
because the back, neck,shoulder pain is still there and its mAking me depressed, and even more so because of the way i injured it.
I dont know if this changes anything but ill mention that some of those boxes weighed almost as much as i do and also have anxiety and depressive problems which are now aggravated due to this, and Due to which i was taken advantage.

Ok so I have a spinal fusion surgery scheduled for December 7 because I have scoliosis. For months now I have been scared about it and now it is approaching and it is getting worse I am afraid I am going to die or be paralyzed or have anesthesia awareness or something even though both of those are very rare and thousands of people who have had this done are fine but I am still very scared and cant stop thinking about it. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the anxiety?

So I had an accident where another person hit me from the rear. My hubby and I both sustained injuries and are currently going to physical therapy. Also have other medical bills such as xrays, ER visits, and doctor office visits. I called an attorney and they immediately wanted to help me with my case and sign us on as clients. I know that my PIP coverage will cover up to 2500/person….but my lawyer thinks he can get money for pain and suffering, my medical bills, and my husband not being able to perform his job like he used too(he is a truck driver now w/ a knee injury). My kids thank god were okay and unharmed. I am also experiences alot of anxiety when I drive now due to the fact that auto accidents are one of my biggest fears. I really dnt want to have to pay a lawyer a percentage of my settlement bc I’ve heard of people handling the negotiations w/ the insurance company themselves. What is the first thing I should do to handle this on my own?? If I call them how would I negotiate something w/ them. Especially not knowing how long the physical therapy is going to last. Where do I begin and what should I say to them?? Thanks in advance! This is all new to me.
I have NOT officially signed the papers w/ a lawyer yet….that’s why Im not asking him/her….and of course if Im injured and in a accident that i was not at fault any lawyer is gonna want to represent me…..there is obviously money involved now…..
NO smart asses please….the lawyer I consulted with…not "my lawyer" there…

I suffered from a slipped disc a year or so ago, after months of mild backache due to back posture and obesity. I haven’t really been the same since the incident but I lost 2 stone (not enough weight to lose but a start) and was starting to get stronger. Being on my feet for long periods of time and sitting down caused some problems but I was 90% ok really.

I narrowly missed having to have surgery because I had numbness down one side of my leg… it was only mild numbness and I had horrific sciatia too. the numbness never really went away to be honest but my physio and dr were kinda laid back about it.

2 weeks ago I had a bad flare up. My lower back pain was kinda bad (although not acute) and the numbness in my buttock, saddle and back of the thigh seems worse. My DR thinks I am fine and the physio said that the disc must just be a bit inflamed again and not to pain but, I am panicking, I thought that if you get numbness you have to have surgery because it can damage your nerves?? My legs also feel jellyish sometimes, like weak but to b honest it’s worse when im worried so that might be anxiety.

I am doing my exercises to strengthen my core, losing weight and improving my posture (I am not needing painkillers) but I am worried that this is getting ignored, should I just calm down? lol I am going to rome next week for 2 days and I am worried about that, as I had to cancel a holiday 2 weeks ago because of being worried that the disc will come out again!

Help!
