2 years ago, I was in a very bad car accident which my vehicle was totaled and I sustained injury to my arm and right leg. I was out of work for 2 months, and due to lost wages and no income and excalating doctor’ bills I settled my case. I continued to experience pain in right shoulder and shortly afterwards they found out that I had a rotator tear to the arm. I had to have surgery to repair the injury since then I have continued to have pain to my right shoulder. I am not able to lift anything of weight with my arm or often times unable to lift my arm over my head without pain. I am not sure if at all possible if I can have my case reopened for other medical expenses. Please help

My girlfriend and I were in an auto accident (I was driving the gf’s car). We were hit from behind, at a high rate of speed, through no fault of our own. Based on a preliminary investigation, the other driver’s insurance company claims she has no coverage. Both the gf and I were injured. I went to the ER via ambulance and was released later that day after doing some tests. I am now in the care of my doctor.
What should I do? I have medical expenses and I’m still in pain as a result of the accident. Would a lawyer be recommended or would I be better off to deal with the insurance company myself?
I’m concerned that if the lady is paying her insurance bills (probably the reason her company says she has no coverage), then it’s likely she doesn’t have many assets/income to go after in court.

i had an acccident about a year and half ago and i was a passenger. i have no health insurance and have been footing all medical bills thus far. i am writing a deman letter right now but am wondering how much should be my compensation request.
here’s a brief summary. the other driver is at complete fault. i have all soap notes from doctors,bills and reports. we were hit head on while on our way to my root canal surgery, i was having my permanent put in. i had to go in 2 weeks later wearing a cervical collar. i have choronditis, back sprains and horrible knee contusions still left on my foot. my doctor has recommended physical therapy for up to 3 months but i can’t afford to go anymore thus why i am trying to settle.
total medical bills is about 12,000 not including other misc like pills.
i just don’t want to ask too high or be taken for a fool,so please help. thanks.
also yes, they have never mad an offer at all in a year and a half. i basically want this to be over since two years will be november.
again, should i start at 3x medical expenses or what number?
should i expect to be reimbursed for all the money i have put out thus far. i have no health insurance, so it has been a huge burden.
