I got in an auto accident where a person was cited with failure to yield. The car I was driving was totaled. I have and will continue to have medical expenses. No major injuries, sore neck, back and headaches. How much is standard to receive in a claim such as this… beyond the replacement of a totaled vehicle?

I was involved in an accident on July 1, 2009. I was coming through an intersection (with a green light) and a vehicle coming in the opposite direction decided to pull out in front of me and make a left hand turn. I ended up hitting them. They were found at fault. I settled with my insurance company to cover the cost of my vehicle. Damages came to about , 500 and with that amount my car was totaled. My insurance company (Nationwide) gave me about ,500, the other drivers insurance company offered me almost a thousand less. I was still financing, so the entire ,500 paid for what I owed on my car. I then hired an attorney. I sustained a concussion (which I still encounter headaches from and it could continue for years), neck and back pain, lots of bruising, bumps and burns (from the air bags deploying), not to mention the emotional trauma I am STILL going through, I dove into a deep depression from it all. I have about ,000 in medical expenses (physical therapy, doctors visits etc.) My claim has just now been passed over to the insurance company! What should I expect? What should I base my settlement amount off of? How do you determine how much you should be awarded for pain and suffering? I lost my job from the accident (because I had no car). It’s been almost a year and I still have no car. Can’t afford to buy one without a job and can’t really get a job without a car (goes hand in hand). This wreck has put me through a lot. I hope and pray it’s my last. Any advice? Anything I should go by when the insurance company comes to my lawyer with an offer? Any advice or suggestions is much, much appreciated! Thank you!

I had a spinal tap done about 2 weeks ago (most painful thing I have ever experienced) and while doing the procedure he hit the nerve that went to my leg and also to my private man-part

Anyhow after about 7 days of spinal headaches that were making me vomit everyday I now have what feels like a pinched nerve in my right leg, the same one that hurt during the spinal tap. So is this just part of the healing process or should I go back into the doc?

I was in an auto accident where the other driver ran a stop sign. She was issued the ticket and declared at fault, I have a witness who has given a recorded statement to the insurance company to that fact and also on the report for the police. My two small children were in the car but the main impact was on my side and door. I went to the hospital as soon as I could after (when husband came home because my car was towed) Damages on car are 6,000.00 and so far it looks like med bills will be over 3000 easy. I have an MRI next week but we think it is a bulging or herniated disc in my back. I also had whiplash and head problems from head hitting window (nothing serious, but blurred vision and headaches). I have been out of work 3 wks already and can’t do much at home ( I am a homemaker by day and hair stylist by night and weekend) I can’t stand for long or even sit up for long. Anyone know what we can expect?
I am not looking to get rich but I am looking for what is fair. This was completely the other drivers fault and I have proof in the form of a witness and her ticket. My father is a lawyer but he doesn’t do this sort of case much anymore so he said he would refer me to someone if he thought we would be better off than with just the insurance company.

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.

Like in the muscles, joints, nerves, ligaments, tendons, and all up and down the back, upper back, neck, flank, and meat, under the skin of the shoulder blades, and headaches?

I had a neck injury from martial arts, have gotten headaches ever since. Saw a neurologist, they didn’t find anythinig, but don’t believe I got an MRI.

Now I have shoulder blade pain and headaches whenever I lean back on a heart surface.

Ive had lower back pain for quite a few years now. Its slowly gotten worse and worse(I know, its my fault for ignoring it). Now its to the point where it may be causing bad headaches. My back almost constantly hurts. When I lay down at night, I have to arch my back until the pain settles or i adjust to it. What could be the cause of it?

After many sinus surgeries my husband now has Trochlear Nerve damage which causes severe and constant (24/7) headaches. He has tried EVERY medication the E.N.T. & Neurologist could come up with but none have helped. Has anyone ever had this problem or know of anyone else who has? He has used every migraine headache Rx and even antidepresants, but none have helped.
To answer the last responders question: My husband had 4 or 5 sinus surgeries that all went well until this last one. Two days after the surgery was done he began to have severe pain above his eye where the nerve is. He was tested for allergies and found to have none (although for over 10 yrs his doctors said he had seasonal allergies and have been treating him for them!). He has had this headache since November 2005. We have tried to keep tack of the headaches to see if weather has any effect on them; changes in season; foods, etc., but it seems that none of those things makes the headaches less or worse than normal. Where exactly is the pain you are having? I would like to discuss this with you as you seem to have almost the same problem. You can email me at Wzardoz1939@yahoo.com if you like.
