    I was involved in a car accident a week ago and am still dealing with chest pain from my seatbelt. My car was totaled and I'm a single mother of 3. I'm also an EMT so my job is very physical, because of that, I've been out of work for over a week. The feelings you go though are like a roller coaster. Other driver admitted fault but I'm still waiting on things to get moving. I've never dealt with anything like this before. I'm clueless.

      @@alberteinstein3078 I ended up getting a settlement to cover hospital and some of the car cost. I think my overall check was around $20k. I fought for more on the basis that I was a mother of 3 and had no car payment prior to the accident. I also stared that after medical bills, the money left over would only cover for a cheap car that would be older then the nice Toyota I had. However, in the end, I only got $20k. I hope everything works out better for you.

      This is similiar to harassment I was receiving in 2016. It was literally at my work place in the form of trash specifically positioned or of some product relating to what they were investigating me about, and the emotional turmoil and helplessness I felt in seeing it made it hard for me to concentrate at work. I was almost fired! The owner actually called me into the office and was saying he was about to fire me because of the effect the litter harassment had on me that I had no control over.

    I got in an accident about a year and 3/4 months. Four car crash involving Fedex and police sheriff then me and I tapped someone in front of me on the highway. Went to hospital on ambulance, had 1 year plus of physical therapy, micro discesctomy, rhizotomy, and stem cell injection neck and back. All other insurance tendered their max pip benefits, policy limit etc. Fedex has been denying claim even tho he did hit me behind. My lawyer stated he just sent court documents to head into trial to Fedex. What is the process just wanna ask just to make sure? I do take prescriptions about 4-5 due to accident. What’s my potential outcome

    I only have a couple weeks left to file suit, I had a lawyer who withdrew on me as he felt my health issues caused the amount to be to low. I told him everything up front. He had me sign the agreement and then a couple months later withdrew for the reasons I told him.I suffered post concussive syndrome and whiplash/back stain. I have gotten the adjuster to accept proof of my injuries and also I have told them if they don't offer me 30 thousand I will file a bad faith complaint with the Insurance Board against them for how they treated me. Now no lawyer will touch it, it as my time is running out. hit an run, my own insurance. I am in negotiations with them now...on my own.

    What if the policy is limited and barely covers my medical expenses, does it stop there?

    • @KellyLawTeamPhoenix
      @KellyLawTeamPhoenix  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for this question! The answer is that it sometimes stops with the policy limits. Keep in mind, that you may have benefits in your own auto policy that would give you more funds when the policy limits of the 3rd party have been extinguished. For instance, you may have underinsured motorists coverage, medical payments money, or sometimes other benefits. You will want to request a copy of your declaration page from your insurance provider to review your benefits. Secondly, there are times when the party that injured you will have other insurance policies that may cover your damages. You will need to find out this information from the adverse insurance company and may also want to get a signed statement from the insured that states any other insurance policy that may apply that they have. Finally, there are times when it makes sense to pursue the party individually and get a judgement against them. This amount can be well above the amount of insurance they carry. To explore these options, you will want to consult with an attorney in your area.

    Hi if I was a passenger in car and got rear ended while driving on the highway by a driver going 80mph and we were going 55..I got diagnosed with concussion and whiplash my ER visit was $7000 I didn't hire and lawyer this was 5 months ago and couldn't find a neurologist with my insurance which is medicaid. Is it reasonable and do you think I can get $14000 to pay my ER visit and get $7000 for pain and suffering? The adjuster is now getting my records to offer me a settlement . I told her I will not settle for less than $14000. Thank you for your advice

    • @KellyLawTeamPhoenix
      @KellyLawTeamPhoenix  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      As long as liability has been accepted, you should be able to get the defendant's insurance to pay for the value of your vehicle and get your medical bills reimbursed and extra for pain and suffering. You may want to call an attorney for a more detailed evaluation.

    I got hit by a drunk driver awhile ago hired a driver they made it to where I was the only person who was able to claim his insurance "his drunk wife tried to also" because there was only a set allotment of money that can be payed out....he also found a payout my insurance policy had also that my insurance didn't want to say anything about I walked away with 90% more with a lawyer than I would have without one.....33.3 percent is a good cost for a sizable settlement

    Should I get a Lawyer if me and the person that hit me have the same insurance company.?

    • @KellyLawTeamPhoenix
      @KellyLawTeamPhoenix  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question. The answer is that you should get an attorney if you were planning on getting a lawyer based on other factors (seriousness of the accident, medical lien negotiation, demand preparation, litigation needs, settlement negotiations). The fact that you have the same insurance company will not protect you from potentially becoming adverse to your own insurance company. If you do file a lawsuit, you will be suing the other party and it would include your insurance company as a defendant. Remember, even if the other party had no insurance, you may still be adverse to your own insurance company when filing an underinsured or uninsured claim.

    I was involved in a hit and run accident in Colorado just last week. The person was caught and is in custody, but i am finding out the vehicle involved was stolen, the vehicle was insured but this insurance doesn't want to be liable for my damages, this is still an on going investigation..but i suffered a sternum fracture, bruised heart, and sprained wrist. If this insurance declines my claim and i get a lawyer, who will i go after, the owner of the vehicle, the 20 year old driver that stole the vehicle, or the insurance declining my claim? I am not able to work because of my injuries and its effected evert aspect of my life. Anything would help, thanks.

    • @KellyLawTeamPhoenix
      @KellyLawTeamPhoenix  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There are several possibilities of recovery in this situation. You will need a lawyer to review the policy that was attached to the vehicle. It is possible that you will be able to recover from that policy, however there may be a provision that precludes coverage if the vehicle is stolen. It takes an attorney to review the language. Second, the person who stole the vehicle may have a vehicle policy that could come into play. Also, you can sue the person who stole the vehicle and get a judgement against them, however this often is not productive if that person has no assets to go after. Finally, you will want to see if your own auto policy has coverage for you in the form of uninsured or underinsured coverage. I would suggest hiring a lawyer to review all possible insurance policies. You may want to get the police report for the lawyer to have all the information.

    Can you sue a government agency for pain and suffering? I am not a target of an investigation , never received a letter, but for years, talking already 6 now documented I've been harassed with online ads and bullied with trash
    starting with an occurrence where I hung out with a suspected gang member back in 2013, but statute of limitations state they can't harrass anymore, well it still continues, and I want to be compensated for it, since they caused strife in my career and personal life without warrant. If a case does materialize I'm going after the gov for years of pain and suffering caused by their abuse and neglect to follow procedures. It's unprofessional and a victim should be compensated. They definitely prevented me from advancement in life and held no regard to my ptsd from military experiences in which the sergeants were prosecuted but I wasn't awarded any kind of treatment to get over the abuse inflicted upon me by their actions.

I have a doctor saying I can no longer go back to a normal job standing or walking. after all this is said and done I will receive pennies and I'm annoyed and don't want to be screwed. my attorney had to file suit because they didn't want to offer anything. the police report and the person who hit me clearly said its was their fault, and the insurance did say they were at fault. so now I don't know whats going to happen.

    Think of it like being in a car accident, that's cause by somebody else and you getting injured but except you getting jumped or shot by a street gang and end up in the same place as a car accident victim, "the hospital".

    2800 miles from home, truck and load of tools stolen . Insurance is a crock of stink. It is only a pass to travel like everything else to make a buck off a peasant. I told wife if she don't handle the paperwork I'm done. It ain't worth the hassle three wrecks in 6 months all someone's else's fault. As a 60 year old male I was scared for weeks to go down the road. Now I have another truck stolen. It's a joke. The price of a new one is to stressful so I started putting new engine, transmission and rear end in this last one. Still doesn't pay off with idiots on the street. Sure enough it is beaters all the way or horses, or my husky pulling me. A peasant will not get ahead no matter how hard you try.
