Finding An Attorney In New York For Herniated Disc And Spinal Cord Injuries
My fiance had his 4th lumbar surgery (this time laminectomy) and now there is a rock solid lump on his spine right above the incision. Does this indicate spinal weakness or is it normal? The docs said they would have to watch for spinal slippage.
My fiance’s brother plays soccer in college. He can’t move his his pinky toe and the toe next to it and the doctor thinks it may be a bulging disc. He as to have test done this week. Is it very serious and can it be fixed?
my fiance has only driving while intoxicated on his record for the past 15 years, bet does have an assault sharge from about 20 years ago. We’re trying to figure out where we can honeymoon. I found that we should be able to get him a passport but the visiting country determines whether he can visit.
My fiance’ & I were rear-ended Monday by someone exceeding the speed limit by 80mph. We were going about 15 mph (just pulled out and got straight in the road) The other person was doing 125 mph when we were hit. It of course totaled my car and unfortunetly the other driver did not survive. I still owe about 00 on it so I am sure I will get that much for it. Their insurance company took fault of course & got me a rental car for 70 days. I went to ER that night & all x-rays were ok. I was released w/a cervical strain & a thoracic strain & a knee strain. I have only slept maybe 8 hours total in 4 days, everytime I close my eyes I see the accident, I am working b/c I can’t afford to stay out but my production is going down hill b/c I can’t focus. My neck pain is getting worse & my back as well. I went to doctor yesterday & he basically said I had strains & muscle spasm that should go away. He gave me anti-inflamtory meds & something to help me sleep but that hasn’t worked yet,
last night I still didn’t sleep, and when I do I have nightmares of the accident. My fiancé’ didn’t get hurt but he has images as well so he is going to doctor to help him rest to. We both saw the person be ejected out of the vehicle and fly in front of our car. It’s horrible. People are telling me that I can get their insurance company to give us the value of the car and still be able to settle with the medical later. One is that true? Next question, everyone is telling us to get a lawyer b/c this “post traumatic stress syndrome” that the doc told me I had could last forever and I may always have problems with my neck and back. I need help; I have never been through this before. Please tell me ups and downs and what’s the best way to handle this? At first I didn’t want anything except to get another car. But as times goes on I am so mad that this person was traveling this fast in a 45 mph zone. Our car that was totaled was my fiancé’s late aunts. He wanted to always keep it
because of sentimental value & also so that when we got it paid off we could also use the title for collateral…which we can’t do now. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Me and my fiance were involved in an auto accident where the other driver was completely at fault. This accident happened over 2 1/2 years ago. I was pregnant at the time and my fiance had to have surgery and 6 months of therapy to rebuild his shoulder. We lost all of our income for 7 months. His medical bills and lost wages exceeded 100 thousand $. Now we are trying to settle and the insurance company offered to pay the medical bills,lost wages plus 5,000 dollars "pain and suffering" We are not trying to be greedy here but it seems like nothing compared to what was messed up by the accident. Our lawyer seems so non chalant about it. My fiance asked about the 3x the medical bills for pain and suffering and our lawyer told him it was a myth and not to expect more than what the ins. com. offered the 1st time. Does this seem fair…I’m seriously considering getting a 2nd opinion from a different lawyer…anybody been through the same kind of thing…what was the end result? Thanks!
We are not trying to make a "profit" off of it…but I had to basically be a caregiver to a grown man for 3 months while I was 7 -9 months pregnant…His doctors say he has permanent disability in his right arm/shoulder that could definitly cause probs later in life (we were only 23 when it happened) Not to mention we were financially set until this happened and when my daughter was born we had to borrow money just to buy the nessicitiys needed for her.
Our attorney isn’t offering any advice and the policy limit is 0,000 per person so ,000 did seem silly to me
No…it doesn’t include lost earning potential
Unfortunately my fiance made a stupid decision to drive himself home from a party the other night and was pulled over by the franklin county sheriff and arrested and charged with a DUI. We posted bail but was wondering if anyone knew a good lawyer and what the consequence would be for a first time offender with no record at all??? PLEASE help I am going nuts here!
My fiance has a four year old Maltese. One morning, out of the blue, she can’t walk. The vet diagnosed her with a slipped disc (just by feeling around. No X-Rays). Is this a serious problem or is it common with these dogs? Is she going to be ok? Should she get X-Rays? Thanks everyone.
