I’ll try to make it short. I got into a really bad accident about two months ago — I was driving through a green light, car comes from the opposite facing lane and makes a left turn right in front of me and didn’t yield, we crashed, my airbags came out, injured my left hand and I went to the hospital.
I’m 20, I have a car, have car insurance, a license, go to school, and almost done with a major.

Turns out..he has NO license, didn’t own the car, underage, no insurance, and STOLE the car from a family family. The kid got arrested, and a ticket.The car he was in had insurance but they said since the car was not driven by the insurance holder/person, they are not liable and are not paying for anything at all. basically..screwing me over.
Is this right???? I spent 18 days in therapy for my hand getting burned, my car was totaled, my family has been under so much stress lately, MY insurance had to cover everything and now it looks so bad on my family’s insurance. I never wanted this to go that far, or screw the other person over, but come on… this is just wrong…

My brother got me a lawyer and they are planning to sue the other person’s insurance.
I’m so afraid . what’s going to happen? will I go in court? is it a bad idea that my lawyer wants to sue them? it wasn’t my choice. I just want this to be over..but I’m afraid.

I got in a car accident(Driver side tbone with windows down) and I’m beinging to think I got one of those two because occasionaly I lose all feeling in my left hand anything below where the said fracture/crack would be. I have a pretty high pain treshold so I don’t know what one would feel like. I only get discomfort when ever I move my hand in awkward positons.

Had someone make a left hand turn on a yellow and hit them dead on. My car was totaled and three people left with injury’s. Other car was damaged bad and they walk away with no injury’s. So this was not my fault. I currently did not have insurance but the other driver did. What can I do ? Can i make a claim to there insurance company.

An uninsured, unlicensed driver rear-ended me on the freeway. I had under-insured and uninsured coverage. I broke my little finger and injured the adjacent ring finger on my left hand. These two fingers had previously had surgery to release from a contracture. The accident destroyed the surgical results and my two fingers are now collapsed into my palm giving me
a three finger grip. The hand can never be repaired since the
previous two surgeries resulted in enough vascular compromise that any more surgery would have a 20% chance of amputation. I was put into a cast. There was intense swelling and pain immediately. The swelling eventualy went down after 10 weeks. I was in a cast for six weeks. I did not lose work days. My car was totalled causing me to have to spend 26,000 for a replacement. The insurance company would like to settle — my old car was settled for 3,500; my hosp. bills totalled 5,000. My hand is permanently damaged. I am over 60 years of age.

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!

My left shoulder and arm are killing me, the left side of my neck hurts slighty and my left hand is shaky.

I went to a chiropractor years ago for neck problems on that same side, but it got very expensive and time consuming.

Does this sound like a pinched nerve to anyone that may have experienced it? Are there any other remedies besides adjustments by a chiropractor?

I remember reading somewhere most older adults were kept from writing with their left hand as kids and thought is might be more likely was a result of his injuries.

My pinky on my left hand has been numb for about a week and when I rub a spot on my elbow it tingles, so I’m guessing it’s a pinched nerve.

I can’t afford a doctors visit though or I would go.

I was in an accident two days ago. Some old idiot who was in the left hand lane turned right, right in front of me. What’s the time limit on finding a lawyer?

I have suffered from chronic back pain for three years now. I am 31, not overweight, and did not have an injury! I had disc replacement surgury on L4-5 about a year and a half ago with no success. Discography shows that the L5-S1 is not healthy and may be the cause of continued pain. In the past few months I have developed left leg pain and numbness with very bad hip pain as well. This stabbing in my left side (on the back) has just happened and is just aweful when I wake up in the morning. No position helps! Is this a muscle? I can locate it straight away with my left hand reaching back and it hurts to the touch. Any ideas?
