My friend wants to fight for the UFC MMA’s. After training he is always complaining about his back and muscles pain. It is possible for him to continue with his fighting career. He had a car accident months ago and he injured his spinal cord, he has been in therapy for that. But he doesnt think that is normal that his body is very sore after training and matches. He can barely stand up after a hard match.

My neck has been hurting for about a week, I was rear ended in a car accident, but it did not hurt away since then my arm has been tingly and my fingers become stiff after a little while. Many people have told me it’s probably a pinched nerve. Could this be it or possibly something else? If it is a pinched nerve how would you treat that?

I was in a car accident and fractured my T7 and T11 vertabrae. I was wondering how long it takes to heal.

I was in a car accident recently. It wasn’t severe, but I sustained some muscular strain from the beginning. I also felt my knee was a bit sore; I assumed I hit it against something.

A couple of days afterward, I saw a physician and mentioned my knee pain to him. He examined it and determined it had a slight contusion – and suggested I just give it some rest and take some pain relievers.

After about 7 or so more days, I was feeling some real pressure in my knee and it was getting progressively worse. I went back in to see the physician and he ordered an MRI of my knee.

The MRI results showed tears of the meniscus. The physician’s report states that the reason for doing the MRI was because of the car accident and subsequent pain in the knee.

I spoke with the (other party’s) insurance adjuster today. She’s accepted liability for the accident, but says that it’s highly unlikely that the torn meniscus is due to the accident itself.

I wasn’t having any problems with my knee before the accident. Obviously, it’s impossible to tell with certainty what the cause of the tear was, but it seems pretty clear cut to me.

Is she correct that torn menisci are rare in auto accidents? I’m not trying to jack the system here. I just want to be sure my knee is treated properly – and that they pay, if they’re responsible.

I was injured in a car accident( no fault of my own) and am considering talking to a lawyer.

please give advice

I was involved in an accident 2 years ago and have been battling with the other insurance company to settle. We have a lawyer and was sent a folder from American family Ins. wanting to go in to our taxes, life history, etc….. The person I hit was proven at fault in arbitration as she pulled out in front of me. I have never heard of such a thing over a car accident. The folder was sent to my lawyer and then sent to us, they sent the same to the other person. Do I HAVE to comply with this? Confused.

I was invovled in a car accident July 13th and This elderly lady hit me, she t-boned me. So of course i got to calling her insurance place and they were "investigating" so they called me back; by the way, its going to cost me 1500 to fix my car. so they only want to offer me 1200, but i hurt my back in the accident and i have medical records to prove it. The cops also put her at fault, but she didnt get ticketed AND her insurance is pretty much saying its 20% my fault??? HELP…-Confused

Me and my family were on a car accident last September it was on a car rental BTW thru hertz, my 5 yr old daughter got injured and I hired a lawyer for the settlement case. Last May, my lawyer said that he agreed on this settlement amount and he shall further wait for the final paperworks of the settlement. I want to know if this really takes a year or 2 like what i have readin some internet page…thanks

I was in an auto accident with 3 passengers in November 2009 and the insurance company of the car at fault keeps calling me. It was a 5-car accident and we were the last ones to get hit. I’m going to get a lawyer to deal with them but just curious on how long I have to file any claims. Is there an expiration period for this type of stuff? I live in California by the way.

I was involved in a 3 car accident. The car behind me hit me twice (once on the back right and once on the side as he swerved and lost control) causing me to hit the car in front of me. I was driving my dad’s car for the summer because I’m doing an internship away from home. Since my dad’s car is useless now, I needed to get a rental car. I would also like to get some medical expenses covered because I am experiencing back and neck pain. My questions are: Will the other person’s insurance cover the cost of the rental car although the car is not mine but I am the one using it for the summer? And should I get a lawyer to handle this situation? (Also, my dad is 8 hours away from here and the car is still in the tow lot since I am staying at an extended stay hotel and have no where to keep the car.)

Accident details:
- My husband and I live in Illinois and we were in a car accident at 45mph
- The car and insurance were under my name
- He was the driver and caused the accident (I was in the passanger seat)
- the car was totalled
- my husband had minor injuries

My injuries
- lots of bruising (immediately apparent)
- i suffered a concussion (determined several days later at a follow up appointment)
- i have a broken foot (a 4mm break) (determined 2.5 months after the accident)

Broken Foot Details
- in the ER xrays were taken of my foot, but they did not see that my foot was broken.
- i walked on a broken foot for 2.5 months but being in so much pain (felt nausous from just sitting down) that i went in again.
- after that doctor’s visit (including more xrays), a poditrist visit and a CT scan, it was determined that my cuboid bone was broken (4mm).
- i had surgery to have a screw put into my foot.

Fall out from foot injury
- i have been unable to work on fixing up my investment property since the accident
- we have been unable to finish it to put it on the market.
- we are really behind mainly due to this accident and that they didnt see that my foot was broken for 2.5 months

Uninsured Motorist Insurance Details
- i had 5,000 in medical payment (which I thought were very low to what I thought I was paying for) which has been maxed out
- we were told that since i was the passenger I would be covered under the uninsured motorist coverage.
-> Can someone explain this to me?

Injury Claim details
- my insurance person said that since i did not cause the accident, i could make an injury claim
- i was told that i would get compensated for any time off relating to the accident covered along with pain and suffering
-> 1st…. does an injury claim mean i am suing my own car insurance?
-> 2nd….approximately what would my pain and suffering be based on all of this?

I was in a car accident where the other driver made a left turn on a red arrow;I had a green light. I couldnt see to my left because the other cars saw this car & stopped but at da same time da car on my left blocked my view. mind this–the intersection, or street on both sides is a 4 lane street each. This driver was trying to make it on a yellow arrow I guess, since the distance is wide, by da time he got to me I didnt see him so I proceeded since it was a greenlight for me-he & I collided-he ripped off the whole front end of my car. I have an ’08 nissan pathfinder-Now my car is sitting in a shop,as 4 the accident i didnt get cited HE DID; there was witnesses bt da cops dealt with them-my car had to be towed away as it was not drivable-now that his insurance contacted me after i called them & took my recorded statement, i am getting a lawyer as he is arguing it was green 4him-is da recorded stmt going to affect my lawyer taking on the case?should i have kept quiet? PLEASE HELP!
ok about my insurance-i contacted them-they told me if he was at fault that i had to contact them-they are not being helpful and saying oh we will take care of you*** i have to be the one calling-and i got a lawyer or trying to because its his word against mine- i mean i dont have the witnesses names or anything-the cop dealt with them. that is why-but i will know for sure on monday if the lawyer will sign on my case or not-and his insurance says i have to wait for them to speak to the witnesses etc..and then they will start a claim process-since the guy is not admitting guilt!!!

so i dont know why ppl are telling me that the insurances will deal with eachother, when my ins is telling me to keep calling the at fault’s insurance. maybe its just an arizona state thing?

I WENT TO MY INSURANCE AND THEY TOLD ME WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO IT WITH US? YOU NEED TO PAY YOUR 750 DEDUCTIBLE. SO THEY WILL NOT TAKE IT INTO THEIR OWN HANDS!! THAT IS WHY IM GOING FOR A FREE CONSULTATION WITH THE LAWYER.

I’m a writer and I need to know this information for a story I’m writing. Two of the characters are in a car accident, and one of them is left in a wheelchair. I was just wondering if there are any other options that I could put into the story instead of ‘paralyzed from the waist down’ or something. So, could nerve damage leave my character in a wheelchair? I don’t want it to be temporary, btw. Any other suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!
