I was recently in a car accident where a Nissan truck ran into the back of another car that then ran into the back of me causing 00 worth of damage to the rear of my infiniti. I received moderate whiplash to my neck and had to be taken to the hospital. I checked out without any broken bones and was prescribed medication.

I went to see a chiropractor and he has been working on my neck for a couple days which makes it feel a better. Im 100% not at fault and the insurance company has taken care of my car repair, rental, and medical bills. They ask me " How much do I think I want for this accident" for pain and suffering.

I believe I am entitled to at least 00-5000 for my suffering

I live in NC. I believe 00 is a reasonable consider the circumstances. I could have lost my life, broke my neck and been paralyzed for life. Thank the lord that I received only a whiplash. The stress that I am undergoing, the constant pain in my neck is a reminder of the accident, which I feel fearful of driving. The time I spent recovering could have been spent enjoying my life. Besides getting behind in my school work, I am absent from my student organization at school which I am a key figure ( president AGC). I don’t enjoy waking up with cramps and headaches nor do I like to take prescription pills, and therapy. I don’t want to be compensation a insufficient amount that wont even cover pain and suffering I went though. It seems like you people are on the side of the insurance company and not the victims in this situation. I wonder if any of you have ever been in an automobile accident and if you have must share some sort of empathy of what I am reiterating.

I was recently involved in a car accident that was the fault of the other driver. There were no injuries(thank goodness!), but the other driver had no drivers license and is not on the policy of the owner of the car(who was also in the car at the time of the accident).Yesterday, I was told by their insurance that this claim could be denied by them and their policy canceled, which leaves me to file with my insurance company. If this happens, I would like to know if I can sue these people anyway and what type of lawyer should I contact. I just purchased a new van in 2008. This really sucks that I might have to pay for the damages to my new van that will probably never be the same again.

I want to know how do the lawyer take his percentage out of the settlement. There are three people injury in one accident so do the lawyer takes his 25% fee from each person’s settlement. My husband, son, and me got into a car accident. Do he takes out his 25% from each of our settlement or do he take one 25% out of total amount of our settlement combine?

Is it really necessary? I got in a car accident this morning in my neighborhood, actually right in front of my house. I pulled to the stop sign and was going to turn right but realized I forgot something, so I just did a u-turn in the intersection. I was hit on the driver side, which happened after I made the full u-turn. It was reported as my fault, of course. But the other driver hit and ran. I couldnt even get a tag number or a full description. I didnt go after him, because for one I had an infant in the car screaming. Thankfully, neither of us were hurt. So I am not claiming any medical, just collision to get my car fixed. Everyone is telling me to call a lawyer. But, I really dont see the point, I am not claiming anything else other than repairs on the car.

My older sister has a pinched nerve somewhere in her mid-lower back. I think she got it in a car accident or something. She cannot afford surgery to fix it right now, and it’s been making her life hard for quite some time. What are some things I can do to help relieve some of the pain or make her life easier?

2 years ago, I was in a very bad car accident which my vehicle was totaled and I sustained injury to my arm and right leg. I was out of work for 2 months, and due to lost wages and no income and excalating doctor’ bills I settled my case. I continued to experience pain in right shoulder and shortly afterwards they found out that I had a rotator tear to the arm. I had to have surgery to repair the injury since then I have continued to have pain to my right shoulder. I am not able to lift anything of weight with my arm or often times unable to lift my arm over my head without pain. I am not sure if at all possible if I can have my case reopened for other medical expenses. Please help

I was in a one car accident where we skidded on an icy road and hit the guard rails on both sides. My neck hurts now, but I was told that if I go to the doctor I have to use my auto insurance rather than my health insurance. I’d much rather use my health insurance so that it doesn’t go in my driving record…
I may not claim any damage to the car if the cost of it is the same as the premium. I am having a mechanic evaluate the damage before I call the insurance company. We didn’t file a police report.

And I do agree that not mentioning that it was due to a car accident is not helpful to the doctor!

hi all
i had car accident 6 months ago and i went for 1 month to chiropractic for injury related problem due to accident.
accident was other person fault.
Hes insurance agreed to pay for everything.
i also got a lawyer who took my case.
now, 6 months later, collection company hired from my health insurance company contacted me saying that they also paid for my medical treatment (accident related)and they want money back.

i told them to call my lawyer.

Now if i understand my lawyer charged my health insurance and other insurance(from other person involved in accident).

is this possible?
if yes can i be in trouble for this (even if i didnt know anything about this!).
And why my health insurance contact us after 6 months when case is already closed?

I am from Seattle, WA. Although this is not my case, I will just pretend it is. I got into a 3 car accident. The first car is a Hummer, he suddenly stopped on the freeway which caused 2 cars to hit him from behind. The car in the middle and the last car (which is me, last car). From my point of view, I feel as if I did not cause the accident, I just could not stop in time but then again, there is a law isn’t there (?) that whoever hits another car from the back is always at fault (?).

Anyways, because people are so mean and greedy, the Hummer, which did not have a single dent while mines and the other car that is totaled in the front, we were not injured. Yet, the passenger in the Hummer is complaining about injuries and has file a law suit against us (the two cars that hitted the Hummer).

1. How much does it cost to hire an attorney for a car accident?
2. Whose fault is it?
3. Any advice for me in the trial?

I just hope the person in the Hummer is really injured for if I lose the case, at least the money is going to help heal him. If not, I hope there is God that will punish those who do bad things.

Hi there, I am about to tell you the whole store. So brace yourself.
About 2 1/2 months ago my Husband was involved in a car accident.

1. He was going though an intersection with a green light, when from the other side someone came at about 70 mph and ran a red light and rammed into the passenger side of our car. Keep in mind this is in an area where the posted speed limit is 40.

2. We don’t believe there were any witnesses. But to be honest with you the Cops seemed very bious. And were super nice to them, and didn’t seem to believe us. It was a very weird situation.
Those people are lying and saying that they had the green light.

3. Those people were going so fast, that their luxury large SUV actually flipped upside down.

4. They were all dressed up as if they were going clubbin, I think they were drunk. However the cops did not give them a sobriety test or anything.

5. This accident took place in Los Angeles, which means police reports can take forever. The report has yet to come in.
We gave our statement to our insurance company, however they can not make a decision because they don’t have the police report. Which I think won’t help us anyway, since they were total jerks, and there was no witnesses.

6. The other party has gotten a lawyer and will not give my insurance company a statement. Basically they are not talking, and are already filing soft tissue damage.
Their car was totaled as-well.

7. I am deeply concerned, because my full coverage was totally BS! We only have 5,000 liability property coverage. So if this God Forbid, ends up being blamed on us, we would have to fork out the rest of the $ . Keep in mind they have a luxury new large suv.

8. My question is, should I get a lawyer?
Do you think any of them will take our case?
You see we are no those kinda people to fork up bogus medical bills to pretend like we are sick.
So I don’t know if our case is even valuable to a lawyer.

Your advices would really help us.
Please pray for us, as these people we got in an accident with seem very ruthless. I’ll tell you, the guy actually left his wife hanging upside down in the car! It seemed like he didn’t even care about her.
Please tell me what I should do.

hi,
my husband was recently involved in a car accident. the other party is trying to blame him. they got a lawyer and all that stuff.
We did not really have that much personal injury, so no lawyer wants to defend us.
anyway….
i feel like my insurance company doesnt really care to really investigate this properly. it seems like they just want to pass the buck and choose someone at fault to close the case.
i need help.
i asked my insurance company for a lawyer, and they said you only get a lawyer if you are being sued. which thank God we are not. But i feel like i need a lawyer just to defend me from my insurance company.
my insurance company said they dont provide lawyer, just because you want one. only if you are being sued.
is this true?
dont i have the right to request a lawyer? and an accident reprocussion specialist? if i feel that the claims person is not really giving a Sh**T?

I was recently involved in a car accident. Someone ran a red light & hit the front drivers side & her back end swung around and hit the back drivers side of my car going about 40-50 mph totaling my car. I was rushed to the ER before I could get any of her information & the police officer was supposed to come to the ER to talk w/me & give me a police report #, He never came, but there were 3 witnesses that talked to him stating they saw the whole thing & she ran the red light. I have no information about her, her insurance hasn’t contacted me, & I am waiting on the police report. My insurance has covered for a rental car for now.

My 6 month old son was in the car with me, the paramedic checked him out & he has had a followup with his Dr. & they said that he looks fine, but it just shook up. My head hit the steering wheel & slammed against the window. I have a bump on my head that is black & blue & my forehead and whole left side of my body is bruised. I have had a constant headache & my neck, back & body is all stiff & is in a lot of pain. I followed up with a Dr. but he told me that I am just telling myself that I am in pain, he looked at the floor the whole time & he would not even look over me. I am in the process of going to another Dr.

I have never been involved in an accident to this extreme before. Should I get a lawyer? or should I just try to work with the insurance company myself?

My mother settle a car accident case, the lawyer pretty much screwed her. I told my mother to get a copy of the contract and a copy of the settlement. He didn’t want to give it to her. Now my question is this.

What is it call when the lawyer denies my mother a copy of the contract and what can be done to get a copy?

If we find that he did screwed her over on the settlement, where do we go from there?
