Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio

Re: confussed

You are entitled to get money to compensate you for any damages or injuries that are caused by the accident. You can sustain a serious injury even if there is no visible damage to your car! Make sure that your doctor is aware of all problems that you are having since the accident-problems sleeping, waking up at night, dizzines, headaches, stiffness, etc. You want all of these things documented in the medical records. The people who caused the accident are responsible and it is your doctor who should be making the decisions as to whether or not your problems were caused by the accident and how much treatment you need. I am sure that the adjustor was telling you how they would like to handle the claim. Little damage to the car=little money to you. Don't let them bully you. You should talk to an attorney directly before you make any committments. I have been helping people get the money that they are entitled to when they are injured for over 30 years! you can call or email me your contact information and I will be happy to discuss this with you further. No cost or obligation! Good Luck. DHD

Re: confussed

Several things need to be answered, first when did the accident occur. Second, what was the damage to your vehicle and what were the injuries that you sustained in the accident. The amount of damages to the the car is not an indicator of how much medical they will pay, that will depend on if the injuries were caused by the accident. I would advise you to seek an attorney to discuss this matter. If you would like, you can contact me.

Re: confused

Of course, there is no correlation between medical payments and damage payments for your car. Sounds like the agent is looking out for his/her company, which is his/her job, not taking care of you btw. You should be delivering estimates to that agent, and you shouldnt otherwise be dealing with them without a lawyer. Make sure that you are following each and every directive by your doctor if you were treated. Once you know the extent of your medical expenses, and you are certain that all of your injuries are healed, then you can start thinking about settlement, but remember that you only have a year to sue from the date of the accident for claims that you may have. Feel free to contact me directly. Doing this yourself may lose you a lot of money and since most lawyers work on a contingency basis, and do not charge up front, why would you try to do this on your own.
