Has used his state farm policy and is now going after mine. he walked away 70 days ago just fine. i even drove by his residence a few times and he l ooked just fine also. this is a moral point for me. you have to stand for something or youll;; fall for anything. i cant stand the thought if my insurance also state farm ends up paying out. not because my rates would go up; obviously wouldn’t like that. but here in south florida , people from other nearby countries are always pullin this. should i try to round up possibly neighbors of his, co workers if i can figure out where he works, and any local businesses he go to to prove he is not and was not hurt.
However he did use his liability/bodily injury first. does that mean he just paid his deductible. never understood auto ins.
it eats at me that visitors, whether they become permanent U.S. citizens come here to use our country. serious inquiries only. sorry if offended anyone but i do have my American right to opinion.

I was seriously injured in an auto accident and have no personal ins. The dr.’s will not do 3rd. party billing & bill the auto ins. directly. They want me to pay for all care up front. The specialists want 0.00-0.00 just for a consultation. I am in constant severe pain & need to get med. care fast but no one will help & the dr.’s won’t let me make payments! Go figure. If anyone knows anything that can help or a good lawyer that can help please let me know.

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.

after countless docs pills chiros and breakdowns, i felt better about a year ago and retrned to waiting tables. my mri showed that the hernaition had beome a sligt bulge.

i was movin a few wks ago and felt like i may have reinjured the disc, had some low back pain and a little leg pain.
over the past few days the pain has become almost intolerable. im miserable at work, when standing, sittin… its keeping me up at nite

the pain i have now is worse than its ever been and its constant no matter what i do. i recently started a new job and dont have health ins. and even if i did, i know theyd tell me to get off my feet for atleast a few weeks and thats just not an option

i have a few back strengtening exercises i do, but what else can i do for myself?

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

Fell out of golf cart while nephew was making a left turn. Pavement of road to rough was quite steep.I am a new golfer, and recieved no safety warnings from course director or on golf cart. I recieved 2 cracked ribs and a torn rotor cuff as I am 55 years of age. The rotor cuff needed surgery. The ins. co. for the golf course told me they would pay 5,000. of my medical. Truly unfair to me.New golfers should be made aware of the dangers involved with golf carts and going from pavement to terribly uneven roughs,either before with a handout or posted on the golf cart.If the sides were higher or seat belts were installed, this never would have happened. Other states have seat belts or warnings why does’nt MO. I only want all my medical paid, as for all the suffering I have gone through and will continue what price do you put on that, as for as punitive damages, give warnings to new golfers or improve uneven paved roads to the roughs.This is the course and mgt. fault as well as cart mfg.’s.

Should i contact an personal-injury lawyer?




This morning i was rear ended up by another person. Called the police and they did a report. The other driver was found at fault and given a ticket. I was asked by the police officer if i was hurt. I said i was not. About noon my neck became stiff and my back is aching pretty bad. I was advised to call an Personal injury lawyer. Let me get one thing straight. I am not in this for money. I do not want to sure for tons of money. Just the medical bills. so what should i do? contact a lawyer first and than deal with the ins company. thank you.

I was involved in an auto accident where the other party was at fault, and the other parties ins co already admitted fault. I only had liability (never again) and my totalled car had a value of 000. However, the insured was only covered for up to k, shorting me k. I have minor scrapes and visible scarring on my head from the airbag hitting my glasses. I really only want the value of my car, but if I have to go through lawyer to get property and bodily injury claims of over k, after lawyer fees, what am I left with? I want to settle with the Ins Co directly.
Thank all of you for your help. I want to refrain from getting a lawyer at all costs, but I do only want whats fair to me - my life, which is in tact - and the value for my car. My liability insurance, which I had for less than a year, and full coverage for my whole driving history before that, won’t cover the balance. I don’t want to fake anything with a lawyer or get some phone doctor to write my arm that supposedly fell off recently. I want my car back!! Is small claims my way? Won’t that take forever? Can I plead with the adjuster?
