After 2 months my lawyer dropped my case because the buisness that hit me and ran didnt have any insurance. Now i live in Arlington it’s right between Dallas and Fort Worth. I need a Lawyer that will take my case and treat as if it was their car, their job, their 4 month old baby that got the window mashed in on her in the back seat, Someone that will call me by my name rather than my case number. Since this last lawyer i’ve lost trust in lawyers (i waited 2 months havent even recieved damages for my totaled car and only to find that they dropped my case)The only way i will hire another one is if i can find a good one. KNnow any good lawyers that all say they are good so how will i know they are good? I dont want to go thru this stuff again!!!!!!!!

The airbag was deployed, which cause injuries to her face, neck, mouth, nose and arms. She was bleeding from several areas and the police did not call ambulance. They asked her (age 17..first ever accident) if she wanted medical and she just nodded no. Shouldnt they call regardless? The ER nurses and dr’s went ballistic. She was in shock with lots of blood oozing from her nose and mouth. Her parents drove her to the hospital. Anyone know what should have happened here? NO drugs or alcohol was involved and they knew that..they put her in the back seat of the cop car and told her to shut up (she was obviously crying and upset) This happened in Winnebago Illinois
my brother was called to the scene and found his daughter in the back seat of the cop car, bleeding and crying uncontrollably. The cop told him to shut up when he asked why she was in the car and no EMT. He got upset and called the cop a naughty name and the cop told him if he didn’t leave or shut up he would be tassed. Several witness to the fact that my bro did not do anything other then call the cop a p@#@ for not letting him talk to his daughter. When the cops arrived, she was laying on the ground next to the car and they yanked her up my her arms and pushed her into the cop car by her arm, shoulder and head. The next day, she had finger bruises on her upper arm (and you can see finger prints) which we took pics of.

My daughter was a passenger in a car that went off the road and hit a tree. The driver and front seat passenger did not survive the crash, 1 back seat passenger is in critical condition and my daughter and the other passenger will heal. They received many broken bones and it will be months before they are able to walk.
I have been at the hospital with my daughter for 8 days and we will probably be here another 10 – 14 days.
We are in Michigan and are a no-fault state so our insurance will take care of my daughter. Our agent called and left a message that they would need to start an underinsured motorist claim for us.
What I am wondering is if myself and my husband will be able to file a claim against the liability portion of our insurance. I know that my daughter will receive compensation for her injuries. I am wondering if I need to initiate a claim for my husband and myself as well. I know there are time limits on that stuff but do not know much about it.
There were no drugs or alchohol involved. The kids had left school and were going too fast on a dirt road and the driver lost control.
Because we are in Michigan and are a no fault state our insurance will pick up the medical bills. We have underinsured motorist coverage that will be in effect because his insurance coverages were the minimum. So our insurance will pay the liability. I truly do not even want do deal with all this right now. I just wanted to know if it was an option and if I needed to do something by a certain date to keep the option available when I am ready to deal with it all.

One year ago I was in an auto accident. My friend was driving apparently to slow for the driver behind us and was we started to pull into a parking lot they decided to speed up and try to pass us by using the sidewalk. We were hit at my door and I was turned looking at my friend in the back seat. The police cited her and her ins has accepted 100% fault. I went to the ER for head (I hit the door window) and neck pain and fallowed up with my doc. Since then I have had 3 months PT (he said he could not fix me) and still see the chiro. I had 2 MRI, CAT and several x-rays. I was placed on medications including: Valium, Percocet and Oxycodone initially but after a week asked for something weaker and went to hydrocodone which still left me sleepy so I went to IBfrofin 800, meloxican and Skelaxin. Seen a back specialist too. All agree with my doctor that my SI joint is messed up and my chiro put my back at 20% permanently damaged and will need to see him once a month forever My bills are about 9,000. I don’t want a lawyer to take money from my pain so I don’t want to have one. Now that it has been a year and my doctors say I am as good as I am going to get I was to settle. What should I do? Is there a form I can give my doctors to fill out?
Also I was 12 weeks pregnant and ended up having him at 22 weeks in which he died right after birth. With everything that happen the month after and all the medications could this have been a cause? My doctor that delivered him says he can’t tell me the reason I went into early labor. I was on seasonal and didn’t know I was pregnant till 16 weeks .
Sorry I was not clear, I just mentioned I was turned talking to my friend in the back because my spine was twisted when I was hit and injured. The Lady that hit us was faulted 100%, my friends in the car had nothing to do with my injures and even if they did I would never sue my friends.

We were rear ended by a drunk driver. I was driving, we stopped at a stop light and this 1970 Ford pickup (that had almost clipped us coming out of the parking about 1/4 a mile before the light). He screached out of the parking lot and didn’t even seem to slow down and slammed into the back of us. He had to be going pretty fast to do the damage that he did to our car and especially his tuck (those old trucks are like tanks!). The passenger owned the truck and the driver was supposively his designated driver, even tho he had been drinking too. Well the driver hopped out of the car and took off on foot!(he had warrants) The passenger (owner of the the truck) stayed there and didn’t even get arrested!
I’m not sure if we should get a lawyer… we haven’t been offered a settlement yet, but what would you suggest? My arm is still hurting and Chris’ back is hurting too. We’re going to a chiropractor this week… I’ve just never had this happen and need to know what we should do.
We HAVE been to the Dr. and his insurance paid for our rental and will reimburse us for medical… but we’re afraid they will only offer us minimal money for the settlement. Is having a lawyer the only way to get the most out of the settlement? Did I mention our 5 month old little girl was in the back seat? thankfully shes okay, but it could have been alot worse, our car has a/b ,000-,000 in damage not to mention how sore we’ve been!
