Someone rear-ended me yesterday. I am having headaches, back, neck, and shoulder pain. Also, I'm having pain with my siatic nerve and in my upper legs. I went to a chiropractor ( they are billing his insurance) and I am going to speak to an attorney tomorrow about a settlement. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any advice? Any ideas of how much money I will receive? thanks..

Get a lawyer, especialy one specializing in personal injury. It doesn't really sound that bad so I woudln't be expecting too much. Probably a few thousand. Their insurance is goign to put up a fight and you need a professional to deal with them.

10K in invoice for a again sprain is WAY an excessive amount of. and relying in your state, you can also have got to pay again this cash with the payment you acquire from the opposite individual's ins co. Therapy for smooth tissue accidents is ususally three months max and if there's no advantage, you'll have noticeable a orthopedic health practitioner for checks. Honestly, you're going to be fortunate to reduce even, and your charges would = or be not up to the coverage limits the opposite driving force had. Best guess= speak to the adjuster, see what they desire to present you, it would be greater than you anticipated, or it would be that they think that you simply overtreated and can supply you a component to your charges. IF you get an atty, his cash comes off the highest 1st, then the charges, you then get the crumbs left over if there are any.

If your atty is worth a hoot, you should be able to recoup all legitimate expenses you have incurred, plus some amount for "pain and suffering", etc. Again, it all depends on how good your attorney is, and how strong your case is. If the insurance company involved thinks you have a bogus claim, you could end up with zilch (as in Zero), for a worst-case scenario.

You are definetely on the right track. Always get an attorney. Insurance companies are a lot more likely to pay more if you have an attorney handling your case. Also, attorneys are more knowlegeable of the law and insurance companies and you won't have as much of a hassle as you would trying to do it on your own!!!

There's no way for us to know. You probably should see a medical doctor to have it officially on paper, or you can't prove your injuries.

Listen to what your lawyer says... that's the only opinion you should care to hear... certainly more authorative than what you will get on here.

The more non soft tissue injury you can prove, the more you will get.
