Great information I just had a demand letter sent out on my case ! But was not advise of the amount I had a slip and fall pretty bad and the company had a million dollar policy . I was treated for 3 months and had a few injection in my neck and back still in pain as I awake each morning . Some times I feel like my neck is just no good but pray it gets better.

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]

We hope the pain gets better too! Fingers crossed that you get a fair settlement.

Guy rand a red light and hit my RF then I slid into the front of suv. Three bulging discs in my neck and one in my back. So far for the neck we are doing injections the back is getting a fusion. Focusing on the back first then working on the neck.

What,my case Worth on the city bus a big commercial truck hit the back of the bus

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]

Its impossible to answer this question without knowing how badly you were hurt.

[@outta-sight3040]

Hey great video Keep them coming I like them I have a question If it depends on your treatment And insurance of the other driver And if it's the other drivers fault Ok if it's a tractor trailer 18 wheeler With it being the 18 wheelers fault What could you say value could be although I heard you say it could or I think you said it should be in the six figures If the person was treated at pain management for 6 months For herniated discs because of the wreck 3 epidurals in lower back And 3 in upper neck Leading to microdiscectomy surgery Because injections Were temporary Which then lead to c3-4/c4-5 Cervical anthroplasty surgery having two discs removed And then after surgery 6 more wks of pain management What value do you estimate on a particular case as such ?

[@WILLIAMSELLEBY]

Great question. If the wreck was 100% the 18 wheeler's fault, there is a good chance that there is at least $750k-$1M of liability insurance available (possibly more if umbrella or excess policies are involved). With two surgeries, 6 epidurals, and extended PT/pain management, a reasonable settlement value should be well into the six figures. Of course, you have to consider things like (1) whether you had any pre-existing conditions (e.g. arthritis, degeneration, etc.), (2) the amount of property damage to the vehicles (does it look like a wreck that would hurt someone), (3) the location where your case may be tried (i.e. would the jury likely be conservative, progressive, or somewhere in between), (4) did the 18 wheeler driver and or his/her company violate any Federal Motor Carrier Administration regulations that could give you additional bargaining power, and (5) will your medical providers testify that the injury is permanent. We have handled neck and back surgery cases that resulted in million dollar+ settlements and verdicts but in most of those cases there were one or more doctors that testified that our client's injuries were permanent (at least to some degree).
