my wife was run off the road by a semi (he was sighted for improper lane change) there insurance company is going to offer a settlement how much should we be looking for? Her vehicle flipped 3 times (they paid us 00 for it KBB value) her hospital bill was 000 (they said they would cover it) It included an ER visit overnight stay. We are fortunate she has no broken bones no nothing physically however she had amnesia and a concussion and still has some neck pain and is freaked out to drive especially at night? we talked to a lawyer but i didnt ask (didnt know if it was proper to ask how much we should be getting) so just seeing if anyone knows? thanks

My fiancé’ & 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 unfortunately 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.

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.

I told them my 15 yr old son is having neck pain etc, they want Dr’s records etc but he didn’t go to Dr. I’m concerned to sign away anything before he feels no pain, even very minor pain.
Is there any magic words to put in my reply letter that would make them just submit an offer to settle this without any further issues?

I have neck pain and some back pain so my doctor referred me to a physical theripist, he didn’t give me any suggestions just said to go to whichever is closest to where i live. What should i be looking for in a good physical theripist? Also I’m kinda scared since i’ve never been to one before. What happens there?

I am having off and on again neck pains consistently. I also have dreadlocks and haven’t gotten a haircut in 7 years. I would estimate the weight of my hair at somewhere over a 1lb to 2lbs. Could this be responsible for continuous neck pain?

I’ve just moved to camp for the summer where I’m sleeping on crappy camp beds. I’m using two pillows because one would be like none, they aren’t very nice either. I woke up yesterday with neck pain, mostly on the left side, preventing me from turning my head to the right and being generally uncomfortable. It still hurts today, but it’s less. Help me please!

I’ve had neck pain for over a year now…a muscular ache that radiates the back of my head and often results in headache. There are two spots almost directly behind my earlobe that kill me. For temporary relief I use heat packs, icy hot, massage, etc, but it always returns, especially when I exercise and study for long hours. I’m afraid I’ll have neck pain my whole life. Anyone?
