| car accident = PAIN I don't want to go into much detail so here's the gist of it... I was involved in a car accident that was not my fault a few weeks ago. AUUUUGH! Has ANYONE out there ever been involved in a nasty accident that has just made everything so complicated? What do I get to expect over the next few months? I've never had to do this before

| I am so very sorry you are going thought this. I have not personally gone though this but I would think it wise to get a Good attorney(not the ones hounding you) ask around to friends and see if they know of one. they would be able to help. Also maybe run a add in the paper to find people who may have saw what happened. You may be able to post a sign in the area that it happened too Some one had to have saw something. Good luck. |

| thanks to whomever edited my post If you are nosey and want the juicy details then just PM me ...I had a longer post written dealing with my injuries and the ambulance and what the cop decided and all that stuff and then decided that if legal action were ever needed then it would probably not be a good idea to post it in as much detail as I had done I was hurt pretty good, have a HUGE sum in damages to my car and not to mention probably well over 2000 in medical bills (because you know ambulances are so cheap ) and this person who is at fault is not making this any easier for me i don't know what i have to look forward to the next few months blah BUT coming back from the hospital and seeing my babies (the dogs and cats lol) made me feel a lil better

| I'm sorry this happened to you - it IS a pain (pun intended!) to have to deal with all of this when you don't feel so good. It is very stressful. Good luck with everything

| My suggestion. Given that the other individual is giving you a hard time. Get a lawyer. Have your lawyer correspond w/ your insurance company and their insurance company. Keep going to physical therapy. And you'll be taken care of. I learned this after being in 3 accidents, all of which were not my fault. |

| I'm not sure of the circumstances so I don't know if it's just a matter of your insurance companies settling the matter or if it's serious enough for an attorney, either way I'd suggest not talking to the other person, let your insurance. In my line of work, I'd suggest consulting with an attorney, it wouldn't hurt anything even if you decide to not go that route, but at least you would know your options. Most PI attorneys work on a contingent basis, meaning you usually don't pay anything and they take a % of the settlement. Probably around 30%. Do not deal directly with the person who hit you, let your insurance company and/or attorney do it. If you are injured be sure all your treatment is documented and keep up with the treatment. Best of luck and I hope you feel better soon.

| So sorry this has happened to you.... sending get well wishes. I just wanted to say.... document everything! Do not talk to the other party at all. Let your insurance company deal with that and if anyone gives you the run around, get an attorney. My husband had a really nasty motorcycle accident about 7 years ago (the truck owner that hit him was at fault) and when we started getting the run around from that guy's insurance company, all it took was a letter from our attorney (which was just my husband's cousin - an attorney in Houston) to get them to sing a totally different song. You know, years later my husband had to deal with that guy's wife in relation to his job (insurance adjuster) and when she realized who he was, she told him that it nearly killed them to stay away from the hospital and avoid all contact with us because they wanted so badly to personally apologize but their insurance co. said not to talk to us. It is always for the best to not get personally involved (in a good way or bad way) with the other party but it's hard - whether you want to apologize like they did or whether you want to beat the tar out of them like we did. Good luck and I hope it all works out for you without too much trouble.
