Car Accident, more like a fender bender faking injury(HELP)?

legal editor — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:21:22 +0000

Ok here is what happend. There was an SUV stopped at a yield due to ongoing traffic which is understanding. I pulled up behind them and fended them because on the corner store an 18 wheeler was turning right to the traffic light and in other words the 18 wheeler would have hit us both. I got down asked if they were ok and called police and made report etc….The EMT asked if they needed assistance and the two ladies in the SUV declined. Fine Now they are suing my insurance & claiming injury. What I dont understand why are they claiming injury?? if they were sooo injured why did they wait till 3pm to go to to the ER when the accident occured at 9 am? The air bags didnt even come out and not even a single scratch on there vehicle. Also the two ladies have seperate attorneys is that possible when suing my insurance or should they have the same when it was the same accident?? Thanks I need some HELP

How do I go about disputing medical claim after a car accident?

legal editor — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:20:11 +0000

I was in a car accident about 2 days ago, the other person that was hit is not claiming medical claims for injuries, the accident wasn’t that bad, it was according to the officer a “fender bender”, the impact was mostly on the mid passenger door to the back tire, I’ve been on an accident before and it was even worse that this and didn’t feel anything, I know that everyone is different but she had told me that she works at a chriropractic office so I’m assuming that it has a lot to do with her pursuing the claim.

I just really need an advice on how to go about this, I have car insurance and the damage to her car is taken care off.

PLEASE HELP.
i meant to say, she’s now filing a medical claim. Hopefully your right, that she’s doing this to make sure that she’s okay, where I hope she is.

Car Accident claim…2 accidents 2 months apart..?

legal editor — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:19:00 +0000

I was in an accident in May, in which a driver reversed into my car in a shopping area. He admitted he was @ fault, and i have been to an attorney. I have suffered neck bulges and back pain due to that accident. Unfortunately i was in another accident 3 days ago where a woman in a truck was driving too fast and rear-ended me and pushed me into a parked vehicle. I was sent to the hospital right away and my car was towed. My Attorney has now stated that he wants to cancel my first claim and pursue my second one. Any ideas as to why he would do this? i now have injuries from both accidents and since this is my first time suing anyone i don’t know what to do. Suggestions please
@ guess who, first and foremost i am NOT running and insurance scam! i was injured in both accidents and i was not sitting in a parked car in either accident, so get your fact straight. I am well aware that insurance fraud is a scam, and thats not what im doing here. Its a shame that victims and those injured get treated like criminals by people like you. I have been driving for many years and was never in an accident until recently, so get your facts straight before you point the finger at others. Thank you and have a great day

In a car accident (in Massachusetts) that wasnt my fault, now being sued by other driver for reckless driving!

legal editor — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 08:19:07 +0000

I was in an accident last April (so just about a year ago now). Basically, a SUV cut accross 2 lanes of traffic and crashed into my car (saturn). I have a witness, an off duty cop saying that it was not my fault and my insurance company found me %100% NOT at fault and waived my deductable and everything.

Just the other day I recieved papers stating that I was going to be sued for $30,000 by the driver of the other car. I believe they are claiming injuries that were caused by my reckless driving?!

No one was brought to hospital from the accident and it wasnt very high impact at all so I really do not think anyone was really injured (he had a passenger). There was obviously damage to both our cars, mine was worse.

I’m pretty angry at this point. I’m wondering if I have a case against the other driver? It makes me so mad that someone would cause an accident then sue the person they hit pretty much blaming them (me) for the accident/injuries.

What does everyone think?
I actually have contacted my insurance company’s lawyer, he was actually on top of this and foresaw a possible suit coming after he had already sent a statement to the guy who hit me attorney saying that he believed I was not at fault in the accident. My lawyer said that they would have 3 years from the day of the accident to file a suit against me and pretty much 1 week after my lawyer told me that , I was served with papers from the sheriff’s office.

So are we saying there pretty much aren’t any grounds for a counter suit?

I had a car accident in Florida. My car was a total loss. I had a injury for a long time on my back.?

legal editor — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 23:22:49 +0000

I had a back injuy and visited the chiropractic doctor for 14 times. I had massages and exercises done for my back .
I was given 4500 for my car. I incurred a medical bill of 1500 for the doctor and incurred a MRI scan for around 2000. I am fine now and I didnt incurred a permanent injury. My Attorney tells me that I dont have a valid case and she is going to make a settlement with my insurance company and the guys insurance company who was at fault. My Insurance policy had a 10000 PIP and I dont know about the guy who hit me. I was unemployed from the time of my accident to this date so I think I am not eligible for compensetation for the wage loss.
Its been 15 days that my doctor have released me and the attorney had requsted a report from my doctor.
So how much claim is my attorney gonna make with the insurance companies? How much money is it likely that I am going to receive from my case?

how can i determine how much claim i need for a car accident settlement?

legal editor — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:22:50 +0000

Car accident: What is the best option for me?

legal editor — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 05:20:47 +0000

I’ve caused two accidents in parking lots, both within a year, and this is the year I started driving. Both were stupid. First one, I didn’t look around before I backed out and hit a car. Second one, I left the engine running when I got out and (The battery was drained and I was charging it) accidentally put it in to drive. The first one cost about $2500. The second one will take just $500 for the repairs and I don’t know how much that would be with the other person’s deductible. There was no one in the other cars to claim injury, and I called police right after both accidents.

It seems like I might have to do one of two things, depending on whether anyone will offer me insurance in the future.

1. If anyone will offer me insurance at all, my premium will undoubtedly be high. Keep driving with the high premium and try to keep my future driving record clean, and eventually my premium will come down.
2. If no one offers me insurance, or if the premium is too high, sell my car and stop driving. But I don’t know if my premium will come down after a while. Will it?

Thanks.

Car accident insurance claims question?

legal editor — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 02:20:20 +0000

I was in an auto accident in VA. I was the passenger of the vehicle and the person t-boned the entire side of the vehicle I was in. The person that hit us was at fault and received a ticket. They didn’t have car insurance so my girlfriend’s car insurance is paying for everything. I was rushed to the ER and injured my neck, shoulder, chest, back and wrist. I am currently going to PT and OT. The physical therapist said I have musculoskeletal injuries. I have to take 4 different meds a day and I have chest pain several times a day. The current (some) bills and lost wages are over 6k as of right now and my physician says I will be in PT for at least another month. I haven’t been able to work my pt job because of the type of work I do there but I have been able to go to my full time job. How much should I expect for pain and suffering. I can’t even lift a bag of groceries now because my wrist hurts so badly. I don’t want to get a lawyer since they take all the money.
The insurance company already told me they are going to pay for my lost wages.

Should I involve a lawyer if I was involved in a car accident that i have sustained injury from?

legal editor — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 08:20:28 +0000

I was recently involved in a car accident. Rear ended quite badly by a Maxi Taxi. In Queensland Australia. The driver was charged. Police report filed etc… I have sustained whiplash and back injuries from the accident. I am currently claiming through CTP insurance but have had been advised by a few friends to go and see a no win no fee lawyer. I am off work for a month and have alot of restrictions. Am seeing physio 2-3 times a week. The CTP insurance is covering my doctors bills etc but my main concern is if I will be able to return to work and when. But… I just don’t have a full understanding of what a lawyer can do for me and how beneficial it would be for me. At this present point in time I am focusing on getting myself well but what about my future? Will I be compensated for any further problems etc…. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I feel that the insurance company is just trying to put me through their system as fast as possible and to them I know I am just another number on their books!

how much do people get from a car accident settlement?

legal editor — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 02:19:41 +0000

I got into a car accident last august, some lady ran a a stop sign and “t-boned” me. When police came they said she didn’t have a license. I dont know if they meant she didnt have one at all or if she just didn’t have it on her at the time. Anyways, the car was considered a total wreck, i hurt my back really bad. The car had to be taken. The car i was driving was my boyfriend’s mom’s car. So she got the money for the car. I contacted a lawyer about the accident. They’ve been sending me to get treatment which has really helped a lot. I recently just finished my treatment and my lawyer told me they would send the other party’s insurance all the info and wait for them to make an offer. I just want to find out how much do people usually get from this and how the whole money thing goes. I know my lawyer gets paid first from the money from the settlement? I dont know, this is the first time something like this has ever happened to me. So exactly how much do people get from suing for the same reasons i am going through.

Can I be sued for injuries sustained during a car accident?

legal editor — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:20:02 +0000

A little less than a year ago, I was in a “Minimal impact” fender bender. It went on record to be 100% my fault and my insurance paid out $1600.00 to the person I hit for damages to her car. Claims remain open for three years. Early this week I found out that this woman is now claiming medical injury and has proof of “Soft tissue injury”. I have been in contact with my insurance claims agent – She is not supportive, and only tells me every possibility. I was told that if the damages exceed 25,000 dollars – this woman can sue me for the remain amount. What are the chances that I will be sued?

Does anyone else agree that this world is corrupt? A middle aged well-off woman is attempting to sue a 19 year old college student. She drove an obnoxiously large SUV, I drive a little ford focus. I seriously doubt she is THAT injured.

My dad was in a car accident a few days ago but doesnt have lawyer money?

legal editor — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 23:21:57 +0000

He says his neck hurts and it costs 4,000 to get the car fixed and we don’t have that money. The airbag stopped him from getting killed. A girl hit my dad real hard on his drivers side and she ran off in her car. My dad was the only one in the car, he was so shook up he didn’t get her license plate number. He has insurance and we know nothing about the girl. she drove away when he said he was calling the police. He has witnesses that saw the girl crash into him. The people don’t know what the girls name is or where she lives but they know where she hangs out at and they told the police. They did a police report and my dad hasn’t got it yet. I don’t think he knows what to do about this. We took pictures of the car and he thinks that’s all he has to have.We haven’t found the girl that hit him and he cant afford a lawyer. He doesn’t have $4000 to pay for what the girl did. He thinks he can get a lawyer for free. What is he supposed to do since hes saying his back hurts and the car is wrecked on the side and he cant get a lawyer?

Is an injury claim valid if filed six months after a car accident?

legal editor — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:19:36 +0000

I’ll admit it, I caused the accident. On Superbowl Sunday, this year. I was turning left on an intersection I normally have to go straight on, and on the green light, I started turning, not seeing a pair of headlights coming right at me until it was too late.
With that said and done, both parties, both of us duos, left our cars. I was hysterical, but still had the right of mind to ask if they were both ok, and who was driving, they both said they were fine, and that the boyfriend was driving.
When we got the police reports, they filed the girlfriend as the driver. Odd, hm?
Now, six months later, exactly six months, mind you, we’re hearing that the guy is having back surgery and is blaming it on the accident and so suing us. We haven’t heard boo since this thing happened, and now we’re hearing something.
So is the case valid, or no?

thanks, but should i contact my insurance and talk with them about the matter. or just wait?

Car accident help? My car is a total loss, getting a lawyer involved?

legal editor — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:33:38 +0000

So heres the situation: I was in a car accident over two weeks ago. I was going to turn left when a car smashed into me, running a red light. They were totally at fault, I have witnesses. My car is drivable, but I havent been driving it to work since the bumper is off, the headlight is busted, and just basically smashed up. Anyways, I contacted their insurance company (American Access Casualty Company) which from what I’ve read is one of the worst insurance companies who will drag their feet and take forever getting back to you. They finally sent an adjuster out last week, said they’d contact me in 48 hours, and never did. I finally had to call them and leave harrasing voicemails, and they finally returned my call, saying my car is considered totalled, and the reason they havent pursued it further is because they’re waiting on a police report and they cant get ahold of the people who hit me. Im pretty sure this is just bs, as many people have told me insurance companies will say and do anything to prolong paying you. This is my first wreck, so Im not sure what to do here. I already called and made an appointment with a car accident lawyer. Im just wondering how long it should take with the help of a lawyer to get my money for my car, pain and suffering, and time without a car. Im starting school in less than 2 weeks, and have to have a way to get around. Thanks!
i had a big bruise under my chin from where the airbag deployed, but no medical bills, since i didnt go to a doctor. but i had to miss work the day after it happened because of headaches and sore bruise, so that should count for something, plus all this time ive been without a car, in my state (arkansas) they have to pay you for the time you didnt have your car. it was 100% not my fault, i did stop before going to turn, they literally came out of nowhere. i have 2 witnesses, so if anyone tries to say i am at fault at all, i have 2 peoples names and numbers who will say different.

Preexisting Medical Conditions and Injuries in a St. Louis Car Accident

legal editor — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 11:18:53 +0000

St. Louis personal injury lawyer Stephen Schultz discusses preexisting medical conditions in a car accident claim for settlement. Insurance claims adjusters commonly deny or delay payment for a car accident injury claim when the person making the claim has preexisting medical treatment to the same body parts injured in the current accident. This is a tactic used quite frequently by claims adjusters and without a lawyer it is likely that you will be the victim of a serious of games and letdowns as you seek a fair settlement.

Car accident .what happenes to me now?

legal editor — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 02:26:37 +0000

Got into a car accident in March of 2010.I was changing lanes and another person came outta nowhere bumped my bumper then as I was turning a corner spun my car around it.The other driver and 2 passengers got out of the car and started yelling at me not in english.The cops were called to scene and issued the other driver citations for No License and No Registration.My license was valid and the car I was driving(Hubbys)has Full Coverage.The cop said we were all set and just to go get a copy of the assident report in 7days to give to our Ins company which we did.Mind you no injuries from any car were reported at the time of the accident.Fast foward to August my mother was driving us home from work in my car and we got pulled over.I didnt realize my registration ran out on my vehicle 3months prior when the cop ran my name it came back as my license being suspend 2 weeks prior! I asked him why and he had no idea and said it had something to do with the accident.I re-registred my car the following day and the guy at the DMV said nothing to me about my license being suspended.Hubbys car went into the shop for the estimate for the damages,they were right under $900! We couldnt get the car fixed due to us having to pay for the rental car so he could go to work so it hasnt ben fixed yet.Since August I’ve been calling all over to find out why my license got suspended in the first place.I had to call the cops in the city the accident happened and the officer told me it was a clergical error on their part and they would fix it.It is now March 2011 and it hasnt been fixed and the DMV cant help me! A few days ago Hubby gets the mail and there are 2 envelopes addressed to each of us from the same Attorney.I read the entire letter and long story short he’s representing us and our Ins Company cause the driver of the other car claimed injuries and wont settle for what they offered him! Now mind you my INS called me Weeks after the accident and asked if anyone got hurt or if the rescue was called to scene.I told them no and they said the other party got a lawyer and was clamining unjuries.Now what does this mean for me?? Can I get anything for the pain n suffering of loosing my license for an accident soo minor?? Thanks!
