Thank you for this invaluable info. I was injured at work and my employer and the insurance tried to close the claim immediately… until they found out I had hired a lawyer. He got the claim reopened the next day. I went 5 weeks without TTD benefits and my employer wouldn’t give me a light duty assignment. I was nearly evicted with a new baby. My lawyer had to have a judge court order my employer and their insurance to pay me, get me a new work assignment and proceed with my treatment. I was injured in May with a serious neck and spinal injury. My surgery was finally approved today. DO NOT WAIT TO HIRE A LAWYER, DO IT IMMEDIATELY. Your employer and their insurance don’t care about you, your health or your family. Their only aim is to save as much money as possible and if that means scooting your mess under the rug, so be it. They tried everything they could to make it look like I was at fault or had done something wrong, when they were totally at fault (and who’s at fault doesn’t matter with workers comp, all that matters is you were injured while on the job) But anyway, thank you. This short video will help a lot of people who face what I’ve been thru this year.

How come even though i can prove this no attorney wants to help, not even with filing my complaint. I just had my alj hearing and it went well. I haven't got a ruling yet but my attorney is very confident in my case being approved given the evidence in the case. I was told that when i was at my hearing to make sure the judge makes the connection of the medical negligence to my disabilities so that when i file a malpractice claim i have solid evidence of becoming disabled from what should've been a routine procedure. Please help😢 i have my whole case already made there just doesn't seem to be an attorney near me willing to hear me out. I would like to eventually stop having to repeat my trauma

Im a convicted felon because i set up a sting operation to take down a crack cocaine organization. Coos arrested me instead... Released me. I went back to get my gun, badge and property? I then was held for 6 months and would have been locked up for over a year if i hadnt plead guilty to 'criminal possession of a firearm'. I made Staff Sergeant at 26, stopped a 3 armed individual attempted robbery without firing a shot. I stopped a mass shooting in 2023 saving 73+ Americans without firing a shot while licensed for years with the police board commissioners. Now im a felon because they said i had a protection order against me... But in the paperwork it stated i was still able to carry firearms as Porvate Security was my career. No red flags and nothing but extreme professionalism and love for my community. Now Im being persecuted by the government. They took away my second amendment right. "Yeah, lets take away the guys gun that has actually stopped a mass shooting and has been protecting Americans and their homes, assets and properties, commnnities. Ive had intense and intricate training through various private agencies and law enforcement. This is absolutely ridiculous and I now hate this Country, I have no faith in our government. Trump? He's a convicted felon. Im proud to be one... But its time for a fucking change. I have a felony for doing something I was more than trained and more than capable of doing. I had a meeting with the DEA the day after I got arrested to take down a man that was funneling fentanyl pills into Kansas City. A convicted felon with hundreds of illegal firearms, over 250k in cash, duffle bags of fentanyl. What did they do? Lock me up instead and take away my fucking rights. Time for a rucking revolution. Any attorneys or anyone that would like to help me with my case... Americans need to stand together. Im technically a hero, the guy that protects and bleeds for Americans everyday... as a passion, as an honor. Now I'm labeled the worse of the worse and I cannot find a job for shit.

@@LenaSouzaM Happy we could help. A work comp claim should cover your medical bills as well as any time missed from work and a rate for any temporary or permanent disability. Often the workers' comp insurance will cover what is needed but sometimes their doctors want to say you are fully recovered when you aren't, and other issues may apply that allow you to make an additional negligence claim for further recovery. It's very possible that you can resolve this without a lawyer, but it's a good idea to consult one anyway just in case there are other underlying legal issues.

@@mosieliza817 if you didn't get medical treatment or have injuries, then your damages are usually minimal (and it's a good thing if you didn't have to suffer any serious permanent injuries) BUT it's always a good idea to get checked out by a doctor just in case since some injuries are not obvious right away. Look at how much work you missed or any other losses you experienced and compare it to the 1500. It may be adequate compensation in your case, I don't know. But on the other hand, since the insurance company made an offer on its own, you may have a chance to negotiate for something more - with or without an attorney. Without high damages, you may be better off handling it on your own, but I always recommend getting a free consultation with a lawyer located in the area where the incident happened. They may have some insight into what to expect and how to get the best outcome. Or they may tell you that $1500 is way too low and that it would be wise to hire a lawyer

They dont do much, only because car accidebts are so rare they never get to deal with them. Over 99% of car crashes in America are deliberately caused. Hit and run is a terrorist attack. Don't sugar oat it. The act of running away is a statement that it was done deliberately. A bank robber doesn't wait around after they rob the bank for the police to show up. Over 99% of all car crashes in America are deliberately caused. Accidents are very rare in America from government and police corruption refusing to stop terrorism against their own country. No wonder they were sitting ducks on 9/11. America loves terrorism. They protect it. Crime, Anarchy and terrorism using motor vehicles as weapons to deliberaty cause crashes to take innocent lives indescriminantly is the number one threat to America now. Speeding at Ludacris speeds, high speed suicide missions on the wrong side of the road for no reason, into red lights and stop signs like planes flying into the WTC, tailgating 3 feet behind a vehicle st 40 miles per hour to cause a crash and/ or to create a phoney excuse to terrorize an innocent mitorist because they were obeying the law, and when the victim slows down to turn off, the tailgating terrorist attacks them because the sf terrorist didn't have enough reaction time because of their own tailgating. If the crash is the result of intentionally doing something to cause a crash, it is NOT accidental. It is NOT an accident any more than 9/11 was an accident

@BurgerLaw 3 ай бұрын
Hmm...you'll have to talk to your attorney and ask what they mean. It is your case and ultimately YOU have the right to decide whether or not to accept an offer. Maybe check for clarification that the letter you received is indeed an offer and they are offering you the policy limit. It may get more complicated if there are other parties involved or other sources of compensation to consider. As for what your attorney will take, you should have agreed to a fee when you hired them. Usually it's a percentage of the settlement, usually somewhere between 25-40%. Sometimes they will reduce their fees at the end or there may be expenses from the case depending on the work involved (service processing, mediation, expert witnesses, etc) that can come from the settlement and if you received any care on a line basis (such as seeing a doctor), those will have to be negotiated down or paid from your settlement. Be sure you're clear on all of that and get it in writing.

@BurgerLaw 3 ай бұрын
I'm sorry that happened to you. I don't fully understand your comment and do not have enough knowledge of your case to offer specific legal advice. If you mean that your lawyer valued your case at 30k or informed you of a $30k offer from the responsible party, your past and future demonstrable medical expenses like your surgery should be accounted for in your settlement (and 30 does sound low for injuries requiring surgery, but again, I can't advise on specifics). If this is from a car accident, the total you can recover may be limited by the other party's insurance policy limits, but if that is the case you may be able to make recoveries from other sources such as your own underinsured motorist coverage (UIM) if the limits fail to cover your damages. I hope this helps!

@BurgerLaw 3 ай бұрын
That is frustrating. It sounds like the driver was identified if you know they have insurance, so that's a plus. Your best bet is to report the incident to your own insurance and they are sure to work hard to hold the at-fault driver's insurance company accountable (assuming you live in an at-fault state, which I'm assuming you do since you mention their insurance). You should be compensated for your property damage and you may even be able to get help with a rental car or otherwise fill in the gaps in the meantime, especially if your vehicle was damaged to the point of not functioning and requiring a month to be fixed. As a personal injury attorney, I don't typically deal with property damage-only claims. Knowing only what you have shared, trying to sue the driver personally for additional compensation is unlikely to be fruitful. But you are always free to consult some lawyers in your area or even pursue the case on your own. If you are going after a recovery for pain and suffering without physical injury, you still need to demonstrate the cost mental anguish has had on your life. Count yourself lucky that you weren't in the car when this happened! It's great that you weren't injured.

That depends on your insurance policy. You may want to read over the terms of your plan first. Is this your personal liability insurance? I don't know enough about your circumstances to directly answer your questions, but there are policy limits, and if your medical bills eats up the majority of that, then it's possible that you may not be able to recover as much for your other damages from that policy. But there may be other forms of coverage that could apply as well. Seems like a situation you should run by a lawyer in a free consultation before you agree to anything from the insurance company. If the accident was in Missouri or Illinois, we'll happily discuss the details at 314-500-HURT (4878), [email protected] or burgerlaw.com

Way too many variables at play for me to give you a number, but it sounds like a high damages case. I'm so sorry you had that experience and dealing with such pain and limitations. That is so hard and I hope the best for you and your recovery. It depends on where the accident took place (what state), how much insurance the liable party (or parties) has, the amount of your damages and how effectively you can demonstrate them, whether or not you have a lawyer, whether the other party accepts liability and negotiates in good faith or not, and so on. The amount of time it takes (a few months up to a few years) depends on a lot as well. Namely, if the other side is cooperative and communicative, it could be resolved more quickly. If I were in this situation, I would start with where the accident took place. That will tell you a lot based on the laws and limits in that state. I suggest at least speaking to a couple of lawyers in your area. I may practice or know someone who practices in your area if you let me know where.

@BurgerLaw 5 ай бұрын
It depends on the arrangement. If you're handing this outside of the courts and insurance companies completely and the at-fault driver's is offering you a sum out of their own pocket, then once they hand you the check, it should be yours to do with what you wish, and their involvement ends there. You're being compensated for your property damage losses, and how you use that money is up to you. Cautionary note: I don't know the details of your collision, but before you accept or sign anything, it would be wise to get a medical evaluation even if you don't believe you have any injuries. If it was only a light tap and you feel that the amount they are offering you is fair, it is your decision to accept it, but taking the check now will prevent you from being able to recover more compensation in the future if you discover that the repairs are more extensive than originally estimated or you suffer from new physical symptoms like neck pain or a brain injury.

@BurgerLaw 5 ай бұрын
It depends. On things like state laws, insurance policies, and being able to show negligence. In many states, the insurance follows the vehicle, and it sounds like they are already going after your insurance carrier. IF they exhaust your insurance coverage by receiving the policy limit, there may be additional avenues of compensation available for them to pursue, such as your daughter's insurance policy as secondary coverage, the claimant's own underinsured motorist coverage if they have it, etc. If they are going to go after private individuals to collect the rest of their recovery, that also depends. Generally, the driver would be liable, and the injured party would demonstrate how the driver's negligence led to their injuries. However, they could also try to build a case against the person who lent their vehicle to the driver (if the owner should have known that the driver would likely be unsafe on the road, such as if the driver was drinking or had a history of multiple at-fault collisions). Talking to your insurance company might help too. Depending on where you are in the process, new developments can arise and the course of the case can change. And if $145k is their first demand, you and your insurance company may be able to work with them to come to a fair outcome.

I don't usually practice in New York but we are happy to take your call at 314-542-2222 and answer your questions. I don't know that I will be able to give you a straightforward answer for what kind of settlement you can expect, but I can get you marching in the right direction. The settlement depends on the total medical costs and future medical treatment (such as if your doctor recommended you for an additional future surgery or ongoing physical therapy) and other damages, the insurance coverage the fire department is carrying (which should be considerably higher than a typical passenger vehicle), whether any other parties share liability, and how hard the defendants fight you. If you have an experienced attorney, you probably have a chance of receiving a great settlement but I don't know enough to give you a specific number.

I was a Lyft passenger and the driver crashed into another car she was distracted on her phone .. I was diagnosed with a brain injury (concussion) whip lash , and full body injuries the driver admitted her fault and the insurance company offered me money the next day but I declined

Sorry to hear about your accident. Lyft insurance may also apply here since it sounds like it happened during the ride. With the injuries you say you have, I strongly recommend talking to a lawyer. Depending on what her insurance company first offered, an attorney could add value to your claim and get you a much higher settlement. It all depends on the details and evidence, as well as where the accident occurred. I'd be happy to review your case (for free) if you give my office a call at 314-542-2222.

So sorry to hear you are in a difficult situation. Insurance companies can be cunning and vicious. I would advise you to get a free consultation with a lawyer who deals with your kind of claim in your state. They could let you know what they think about what you are entitled to and what you need to do to get it, possibly get a lawyer. Then you won't have to speak to the insurance company anymore!
