Was in a car accident , I was driving my friends car with her permission. I was the only one in the car. A man came out and hit. (T-boned as they call it) I suffered a concussion to the head, and was diagnosed with a neck & back sprain after they put me through the CT scan in the ER. I followed up with my PCP and she gave me physical theory for 8 weeks for my neck and back. During this time my head, back & neck continued to hurt so my PCP made me an appointment with Neurologist and back and neck specialist for me. The Neurologist sent me to a concussion doctor and the concussion doctor said I had a bad concussion and signed me up for physical therapy for my head because I am having bad headaches & migraines. The back and neck specialist thought I had a herniated disc in my neck when he did the X-ray. He sent me to get a MRI, and it showed nothing was wrong. But my neck hurt still every day. I have no car or no insurance. Neither does anyone in my household. So they told me I would be considered as full tort for this accident. From the police report & the witness it was his fault. His insurance found him 100% at fault for the accident. From the police report he had valid car insurance because he was cover under his mom and dad policy. But he had a suspended driver’s license. His insurance company told me they would pay me because he was at fault. And it was there fault for not checking for this to update their information about his license was suspended. From my own investigation he only has 15,000 per person liability. I field a claim against him & I also filed a UIM claim because my friend had a 25,000 per policy liability and has the UIM option on her policy. The crazy thing is my friends and the person who hit me both has State Farm. What do you think they will offer me in a settlement? And the driver was clearly at fault

Why do you have to go through that situation alone? Being in the middle of a personal injury case will always be difficult, so the best thing you have to do is to have a lawyer from theledgerlawfirm.com who would represent you and get you the right compensation you deserve. Given what you have been through, all the medical bills and other expenses, you surely deserve more than what you had. Seek help from someone who knows what to do in cases like this.
As far as I know even when an injured victim without an insurance, driving another car and not his still has the right to be compensated for the injuries and damages he has incurred from a personal injury accident. And for that, you can always file for a settlement claim. You should be able to be rewarded with the compensation. So long as you keep your documents with you proving the accident was caused by the other person and not you. Another thing, do not deal with insurance companies. Although it may not be true to all, they do what they can only provide the least amount of claim and not the right one. This is what I learned from californiaattorneyhelp.com. They handled my personal injury case by the way and let it win.
At this point, you may have taken care of your health after you realized you have been injured from the accident, it’s time to take these steps.
Take note what happened in the incident. You may keep medical bills, documents to prove that you have lost wages from work, and even hospital visits. You and your partner personal injury lawyer like from accidentattorneyhelp.com will need this as you go through the process of filing for a settlement claim.
Being injured can be inevitable, do not forget to get the names of the involved parties. Their complete detailed information can lead you to the right path and achieve the fair settlement you have been looking for.
