Involved in a two truck MVA..have some questions.

She did. She managed to negotiate a lower amount with the insurance company. All I wanted was the money I lost in wages. I was off for over a year. I managed to get most of it. So it all worked out.

 

you might be able to sue him in a civil court. did he get a ticket?

that's most times guilt.

check with another attorney, there are chasers all over the place. of course, they get paid about a third of any settlement

 

and it should not be hard to go after the guy, AND his company.

workers comp does not pay you, your full paycheck. as a result, this puts you behind in any bills you got to get paid. sueing both him and his employer will compensate that lack of funds you need NOW.

do not feel bad, sorry or guilty for initiating a lawsuit. he was guilty. had it been (what i call) an "innocent accident", like say maybe only scraping the paint and you were ok, and required NO medical attention, then that's no reason to go and sue.

but you got hurt, you lost a lot of your weekly pay, and you got bills to pay as well.

let us know how things turn out for you.

 

I suffered a TBI, which caused me to lose partial vision in my left eye. I broke my left leg. And two disks in my back herniated, one of which went into my spinal cord causing major nerve damage to my right leg.

I had surgery to repair my back. I have had three MRI's on my head. Two MRI's on my back, and multible x-rays on my shoulder and leg. I spent a total of 13 days in the hospital. And close to 10 months in PT to regain control of both of my legs. Oh and a ton of testing on my left optic nerve to see how bad the damage was. So now not only do I have a really cool limp I also have really cool nerdy thick glasses. And I still have no feeling in one side of my right foot.

So in your words not to be a jerk but it sounds like you got off lucky in a way.

All together my medicl bills totaled up to over 100,000. Because of the way the laws are set up you can not profit off an accident. Which means if you get anything workers comp gets paid back first. I was lucky that I got what I did. And I am ok with that because even though it really sucked. I am still here.

 

It was against his company.
