Basically I was turning left at a 4-way stop and the girl coming towards me was going straight. There was a truck in front of her, I flashed my high beams to let the truck go (we had both arrived at the intersection at the same time), then I turned left. This girl ran the stop sign and hit the right side of my car. I KNOW she never stopped because she knocked my left rear tire off the rim and her car was considered totaled. Keep in mind this happened only about 25 ft from her stop line, in the middle of the intersection. Not enough running room to cause that amount of damage, had she been stopped (imo). Also she had 3 kids in the car under the age of 3 and NONE were in car seats, to give you an idea of what kind of person I’m dealing with.She’s claiming personal injury, physical therapy, damage to the car, blabla (she’s suing me for just under 00.) My insurance company hired me a lawyer and I’ve talked to him once for a few minutes. Should I be worried about this crazy whack-job? Am I going to have to come up with the $ or is that what insurance is for? I’m a truck driver, I haul fuel and everything under the sun, I have an absolutely flawless driving record and it pisses me off that this girl is trying to tarnish that record to make a few extra bucks. She’s basically looking for a handout. I’m losing sleep over this thing and would like to know if I shouldn’t worry about it or whatever…Thanks to anyone for any help!
Oh yeah sorry, I wasn’t found responsible….meaning my insurance didn’t go up, I didn’t have to pay any deductible, I got a free rental car, etc…

I was in a car wreck and the insurance company only offered me 1,000 dollars for my injuries and inconvenience. So I called an attorney, and he sent me to a chiropractor. Due to my injuries he wants me to attend physical therapy with him 3 days a week. I was just wondering if this is going to be covered by my claim and will I get money for my self to get my life back in order.

I was involved in a hit and run accident w/a semi truck on Friday 6/4 on the freeway during rush hour traffic going about 10-15mph. The driver rear end me hitting my car multiple times and the last time I got hit I was literally standing on my brakes and the truck was pushing my car (an Acura Integra) and I could hear my brakes screeching and smelt burning rubber. At that point I was afraid for my life not knowing why this person was continuously hitting my car. I got the truck drivers plates and the police found him later that day at his job site and he stated he didn’t know he hit me. The police informed me he would not be charged w/hit and run unless I can prove that he had knowledge of him hitting me. I went to the doctor on Monday because of lower back pain and he sent me to physical therapy. When I called the other guy’s insurance company to make a claim, they set me up with an adjuster who said she would call me back the next day. I didn’t hear anything from her for 3 days so I called back and was told I had a new adjuster, so I called him and got his voice mail which stated he wouldn’t be back in his office until the next week. I called back the next week and after leaving many messages, I finally spoke to him and he stated that based on my statement, the insurance company would pay for all my auto and medical bills, and he would call me the next day after he spoke to his insurer and let me know the plan. I sent him an estimate and photos of my car. Then about a week later he left a message on my voice mail and emailed me stating:

Thanks for sending the photos over. Essentially our issue now is that our driver refuses to drop his story about you cutting him off and I cannot disregard what he is telling me. I want to avoid any hang ups on this file and don’t want you to feel like I am disregarding your story either. I know you said that you had aggravated your back and that was a part of your claim here. In an attempt to compromise this dispute, I want to take a shot at an offer I hope you could take. If I offered a percentage of your damages that reflected the disputed facts between the two parties (as in I pay 50% of your property and 50% of your injury claim), I don’t think you’d find it agreeable. Accordingly, I’d like to suggest that I pay 100% of your repairs as well as for a rental while it is in the shop in exchange for your full release of all claims. My compromise is paying for all of your damage despite the insured being upset and feeling like I am going against them and your compromise would be to forego an injury claim. Please advise if this is an acceptable option. Also, if you have the police report, send it over.

The police report clearly states that he is 100% at fault, so I have a few questions:
1.Now that I have proof that the driver did have knowledge of hitting me, how can I get him charged w/hit and run?
2.The estimate for my cars visual damage was 0 and I have spoken to two attorneys who said that they can’t represent, but that I should take it to a small claims court, so what do I need to do if I take him to small claims?
3.Because of the pain in my lower back, I can’t stand for more than 10 minutes, and I can’t walk very far nor for long periods of time, so can I get pain and suffering?

I was not at fault. The other driver did not report it so my adjuster had to make the claim to the other insurance a week later. My car has some damage. I am now in physical therapy for my neck, shoulders, & back. My child was in the car but did not sustain injury. What kind of settlement is fair?

I know this question has been asked time and time again, but I want a ballpark of how much I’m going to get for my personal injury claim from my car accident.

I was hit in December by a madwoman, and was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital where I was treated for cervical and lumbar strain. I had physical therapy for a month and a half. I still have flare ups in my neck, quite frequently, but I haven’t seen a doctor about them because there’s nothing much he can do. They only last for a few days, and by the time I get an appointment the pain will be gone, and wouldn’t you know that they always happen to start up on a Friday.

I’ve heard the 3x the medical bills formula, but should I be compensated for the fact that I lost my job due to my inability to work (I hadn’t been working there for more than a year so FMLA didn’t apply in that case). I was out of work for a month before they fired me.

My car wasn’t badly damaged, because it’s old school and completely made of steel, so they replaced the bumper and all is well, allegedly. But it definitely makes noises that it wasn’t before the accident.

Facts from me: I’m 24 years old, had a pre-existing back injury that I was medically cleared from, never been in a car accident, the accident was the other driver’s fault, and I’m still unemployed but have been actively seeking employment since I was cleared by my doc from this accident, medical bills total up to around 4,000 dollars, I live in Maryland and the accident happened in Maryland. I have an attorney, and I know they’re going to rape me for what little I get.

I was in a vehicle accident where my truck was totaled. The other driver was 100% at fault. I recieved whiplash do to the air bag deployment/ seat belt restraint, along with a shoulder sub-luxation which resulted in physical therapy and a decrease in my physical fitness in the military. I hired a personal injury lawyer (they get 33% of settlement) my question is how much can I expect to pocket from this claim from the wreck and pain and suffering after paying lawyer and medical bills. Thank you very much for your insight!
The lady who was at fault didn’t have a drivers license and was driving her mothers vehicle

Last year my mom slipped on black ice and did a free fall on her back in a Marriott parking lot, while she was staying there for business. As a result she was taken to the emergency room. Since she was there on business her employer’s workers compensation kicked in and has covered all medical bills, physical therapy costs, etc. A year later her back is still giving her pain, 2 of her discs have been dislodged according to test results. She is still scheduled for more tests to be done. Marriott Liability insurance people have contacted my mom and want to pay for the expenses incurred due to the accident so that they can close the case. So they asked my mom how much out of pocket expenses she had incurred. My mom told them she did not have exact figures but that she had purchased some exercise equipment for about 0. They said they would pay her 0 if she wanted to close the case and have a check mailed.

What should my mom be claiming?

Should she wait to close the case?

What happens if my mom loses her job for some reason, will workers compensation continue to pay if there continuing medical expenses? If so, how long will they pay?
