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

Jan 29

Posted by legal editor in Car Accident Claims | 2 Comments

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.

I borrowed my friend’s car with his permission. After I wrecked it, he is claiming I stole it. What can I do?

I am not really involved in this occurance. I am asking on my roommate’s behalf.

My roommate was at his house (back in his MISSOURI hometown) and had several of his friends over. When one of his friends became intoxicated (underage) and wanted something to eat, he gave my roommate permission to drive his car to go to the store. My roommate then wrecked the car about 100 yards away from the house (it was mid-January, and there was black ice on the road). After he wrecked, he decided to walk back to the house because he did not have a cell phone on him. When he told his friend (still intoxicated), his friend said he would take care of everything the next morning. Unfortunately, local police found the abandoned, wrecked car first.

Come to find out, months later, my roommate was arrested for 3 charges. Apparently, his friend is accusing him of driving the car without permission.

His charges:
1. TAMPERING (1st degree).
2. RECKLESS DRIVING.
3. LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT.

How easy would it be for my roommate to get prove these accusations false? He cannot afford a private lawyer, but is worried that a public defender will not be able to help him as much.

My roommate’s case:
1. My roommate’s younger brother was witness to the car owner’s verbal permission to allow my roommate to drive. He also witnessed the car owner giving my roommate the keys.

2. It wasn’t reckless driving, it was on a very dangerous road in the middle of winter.

3. He left the scene to go back to the house to let his friend know because he did not have the cell phone. Foolishly, instead of calling the police right away, both he and his friend decided to wait until morning to take care of it.

Which charges do you think could be proven false?
Public defender vs. private attorney (remember, he can’t afford an attorney)?
Possible prison time, probation time, fines?

Any information or advice you can give me would help out immensely.

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

Nov 1

Posted by legal editor in Car Accident Claims | 3 Comments

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?

I was in a car accident this weekend and I was the passanger. It was the other cars fault as it came into our lane. There were 6 cars involved total. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. I went to the ER on my own right after the wreck and had xrays etc done. Nothing is wrong just a contusion and muscle spasms. Is the lady that hit us responsible for my medical? Should i get a lawyer since I wasnt hurt?

Fake Injuries claim by other party after car accident.. HELP!?

Sep 24

Posted by legal editor in Car Accident Claims | 7 Comments

Yesterday I received a letter from my auto insurance company about an accident I had more than 15 months ago. What happen during the accident was that I was making a left turn as the light has turned red for a split second, but the other person from the opposite direction sped up trying to run through the light and our cars crashed heavily. My car was pushed back for about 15ft while his car stayed at the same place. However, after the collision, we got out of the car and nobody was injured from either sides. He has another passenger with him while I was driving alone. The police and paramedic came and asked if anybody was injured, but there was no injuries so the paramedic left right away.

In the letter they said that the other party is demanding a huge amount of money for medical bills and injuries claims. Here is what they are demanding: “Anthony XXXX demands $15,500 based on medical bills of $5738.30 and injuries include: Chest wall contusion, cervical/thoracic/lumbar sprain/strain, muscle spasm and Cervicalgia. The demand for Roxanna XXXX is $100,000 based on bills of $33,830.80 and injuries include: Lordosis, cervical/thoracic/lumbar sprain/strain, right hip and thigh sprain/strain, chest wall/rib contusion.”

As you can see, the list of the injuries are very suspicious since each and every injury cannot be seen physically. So what am I supposed to do with this claim? My insurance policy only has a limit of $30K. Will I be sued for the remaining amount? I’m a poor college student with no income or properties so what is going to happen if I get sued? I’ve been having a headache since yesterday worrying about this matter and couldn’t concentrate on anything else or even stay focus during class. Please give me some advice on this matter as this was the first accident I ever had and don’t have much experience on how it will be settled. Thanks for your time.
In the police report, no injuries were listed.
