I have been a passenger in 3 different rear end accidents in 6 years. It is such a weird feeling to be stopped, feeling safe, and all of a sudden being hit from behind.
I am going through this. Bro.. i am partially blind in my left eye now. I was rear ended, massively. My wife and I have permanent scarring...lost wages, surgeries ,and a long recovery ahead. My attourney is probably geekin' right now at how easy he's got it....i imagine.
i was just in a rear end accident today, my bf and i were stopped and a jeep rammed into us going about 40 mph which led to us hitting the car in front of us which caused the airbags to go off and now we’re in severe pain but nothing broken. So traumatized
@@aziswrld I’m alright currently seeing an chiropractor for my injuries and got a case going on as well just was wondering how long it will take bc they told me to take time off work
@@Big-xc3pk from what i heard 3-6 months off from work helps your case a lot but i’m not sure i went back to work after 90 days but took time off again from pain! maybe it’ll be different for your case though
I caused a rear-end collision 5 years ago, and it took three years to settle the case out of court. For my auto insurance, I had $100K for each category: liability, collision, and comprehensive. If you take out more insurance, say $200K instead of $100K, would it be more likely the case would actually go to trial (since there's more money to be had)?
That's a really good question it is kind of a catch-22. If there's more money certainly there's more at stake in the likelihood of going to trial is greater depending on the severity of injuries.
I witnessed two rear end accidents lately, both in the next lane and both happened in the business traffic, both drivers were looking down at the phone. Yes I could see them from the next lane, with my mouth open.
I was just in a rear end accident today. A taxi in front of me stopped for no reason, and I stopped way ahead of time. Then a car behind me who wasn't paying attention hit me from behind. This is my first accident where I was the driver. It's very stressful. My mom is telling me to see about filing with an attorney. I'm not physically injured, but mentally it is straining and stressful (i'm sure for anyone as well). I will probably ask an attorney just to see what they say, not sure.
Morning - sorry for the delay responding. Sure, consult with an attorney. However, if there were no injuries, it's unlikely an attorney would get involved. Still, can't hurt to get a local attorney's thoughts on the case....
I live in Chicago and was involved in a rear end collision. A semi truck and myself were going down a two lane road he was ahead of me but traveling in the same direction, the semi truck was making a right handed turn on to a private road from the left lane but had no turning signal on (he claimed to the police that he did have it on), once I realized the semi rruck was making a right turn from the left lane I slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting the semi truck, but when I did the vehicle behind me collided with me. Police showed up took a report but did not issue any tickets to any driver, there were no injuries to anyone. The semi truck was not hit at all and the only two vehicles involved in the crash were myself and the person who rear ended me. I filed a claim with the insurance of the person who rear ended me, but they are denying the claim on grounds that their insured driver was not the proximate cause. What are my options?
This doesn't make any sense to me. If you were rear ended generally speaking the other driver is going to be at fault. File a claim with your own insurance to get the repairs made and they will subrogate or seek reimbursement from the other driver's insurance. You'll have to pay your deductible but you should get it back if your insurance company wins. Odd situation.
@@LawFull I only have liability so my insurance (state farm) won't cover the cost of repairs for my vehicle, but they did advise me to file a claim with his insurance company (Safeway), with them rejecting the claim I dont know what my next step should be.
I was rear ended 12 weeks ago. I'm not sure if I qualify for loss wages. The trucking company has a policy that states that I have to drive 1200 miles a week to be considered a full time driver. Is this going to hurt my case for loss wages. I also would like to know if I have to return to the same company to recover loss wages ?
Question: the other day I was making a right hand turn into a shopping outlet. I used my turn signal as well to turn, I slowed down and turned into the parking lot. The lot is in a diagonal setting so I had to slow down. One more thing- there is no turning lane prior to pulling in, it’s straight from the street. As I parked in my parking spot, a man approached me and said I just caused an accident because when I turned, the woman behind me had to stop immediately, he was in back of the woman so he rear ended her. Well of course I denied guilt! I did not take responsibility. He approached me twice trying to say it was my fault because I made an abrupt turn! I used my turn signal at the appropriate time and slowed down to turn. I did nothing wrong, I didn’t cut in front of the woman behind me and suddenly turned. I was driving in the right lane to turn. One more thing, the woman behind me didn’t hit me. The collision occurred after I pulled into the parking lot.The man was driving a truck with a trailer hitched. I told him I will not apologize for him tailgating the woman behind me. I didn’t feel comfortable just leaving the scene in case he took my tag down and reported that I left the scene. In fact I told him I was going to wait for the Sheriff and explain to the Sheriff what I did! After I said that he said I wasn’t involved nothing happened to me I should at least say I was sorry. That erupted into an argument over him tailgating!! Because he was so insistent that my turning caused the accident, I waited one hour to speak to law enforcement when they arrived on the scene. I explained everything I did and that I didn’t break any laws. And that the man approached me twice insisting I caused it - and I didn’t!! He thanked me and didn’t even take my information down. Am I correct in saying I’m not responsible?? I live in Florida
@@LawFull thank you!! Sorry my post was so long but I was stressing over the fact that he could have taken down my tag number and tried making me take responsibility.
I was rear ended by a school bus going 40mph while yielding to turn. Car totaled. 2 months PT for neck and back sprain. Fully recovered now. Generally speaking, how much more is a case worth when it’s a large commercial vehicle at fault? x2, x3? Also does that make the case take longer or faster to settle?
Hi, I've found it can make a difference in terms of value of the case because there is a larger insurance policy. I can't comment however on time it takes slower or faster. I've had both long and short cases with commercial carriers.... Does that answer your questions?
just got rear ended 2 days ago and this is the second time got rear ended. The first guy came out from no where while I was waiting for the red light and he hit us hard. He was not insured. I lost my car. Lucky no injuries, Second same thing was waiting on the red light I saw this crazy driver on the rear mirror was driving crazy and I tried to move left to avoid him and bam he hit me.
Hey Lee. Sorry to hear this. Injuries can be caused even in minor accidents - though insurance companies try and deny it. Did they get medical treatment yet? If not, that's super important. Let me know. Thanks, Barry
Hello Mr Barry, I was hit in my rear a week or so ago while stopped. It hurt me real bad and have experienced much internal injury. I have difficulty walking and my stomach hurts badly. How much is my situation worth? Could you imagine what this is like? Smh
It's impossible to know at this point or really for a very long time actually. I strongly recommend getting a lawyer. If you want help finding one, let me know.
@@LawFull I need help finding one. I recently got into a car accident. I got rear ended in traffic. I was fully stopped but she slammed into my car and totaled it. This was 3 days ago, and me and my bf had to be taken to the hospital. He has a deep gash in his foot and is on crutches. Im not sure what to do or where to go. I have the accident report number but still waiting for it to be uploaded. She got ticketed and the coo said she was insured. Can I get any money out of this? I’m a college student in for nursing and I just want to replace my car and my boyfriend can’t work now cause of the accident. Please help
@@foreversimmer3905 Hi, please email me your contact info at info@legalvlogger.com and I can try and refer you to someone. Please tell me what major city/state you are near. Thank you, Barry
We live in Houston county texas. In Tyler Texas a driver rear ended my son’s car after he had stopped at a stop sign. His girlfriend was driving. This happened on State Highway155 where the traffic lights had stopped working and the highway department had put up Stop signs for a temporary traffic control. This spot had a person there flagging down traffic so people would know that they now needed to stop. While my son’s car was stopped another car didn’t stop and ran into him from the rear. DPS came and made out a report and filed it. The other driver had insurance. THE DPS officer said the report would be available in approximately 10 days. Ambulances came and put a neck brace on my son and offered to take him to a hospital. My son refused to let them saying he was concerned it would cost him too much money. He called me at home and I went to the scene of the accident and picked him up. He seemed like he was not at himself. He was very quiet and could not complete clear thoughts. He was in the front passenger seat and said that he had a hurt neck and some abdominal pain. No cuts. His girlfriend also had injuries. We carried him to the ER in Palestine Texas. His girlfriend also came to the ER with her sister. They both were seen by the ER Doctor and sent home. He was given a prescription. No X-rays were taken. The next day my son didn’t go to work and was still experiencing some sort of side effects. Sore neck, sore abdomen and still not fully normal in his demeanor. We wondered if maybe he had a concussion. His car was totaled by his insurance company. What should be our next course of action? If attorney is needed who would you recommend in this area? Thanks. This happened July 5, 2021 at around 10:45 pm.
Hi Rickey, so this happened nearer to Dallas not Houston is that right? I'm in IL so not that familiar with TX. I know a couple lawyers in DAL and HOU so either way.....
I was rear ended last weekend 11/27/22 in Richmond, Va while stopped behind another car. The college kid (on the phone going about 35mph} that hit me owned upto it 100% to me and the officer. When he hit me that pushed me into the driver in front of me causing minimal damage. This was all recorded on my front and rear facing dash cam. My truck a 2010 Ford 250 Super has 300k plus miles on it had damage to the front grill/ bumper rear bumper tail gate I went to the emergency room for back pain headache and was prescribed 2 prescriptions for spasms/strains and told to follow up with chiropractor/primary care dr in 2 weeks....they saw no need for xrays and it was nothing severe. I myself got a estimate for just short of 6k from Maaco for repairs, my question is should I at least expect to get the 6k in damages that Maaco from Progressive that my claim is with? i haven't gotten any other estimates because i have yet to have a adjuster come do a appraisal on my truck for damages' I also haven't heard from the personal injury person from Progressive either. I was told by someone with Progressive that they ( I hope I heard this right) only honor Progressive estimates on damages. With that being said around what should I (a dollar figure) expect to receive for my damages (even though its a older truck with high mileage) and pain from a accident like this? Is it worth getting a lawyer with me not having severe injuries? Personally I don't think Progressive wants to go to court with the video footage showing that their insured was totally at fault, but i will if they come to me and want to settle for an absurd amount. If they do I will have a lawyer handle it. Thanks! for your reply, I'm just looking for some guidance and advice on what I should do. Thanks!
Hey good morning. I really couldn't estimate how much you're going to get at this point. It's way too early. Also, your injuries could actually turn into something. My strong recommendation...is that you consult with a local attorney on this matter. They will have a much better idea of the laws in your state and also how property damage works and how much cases are worth in your jurisdiction. I don't want to give you bad info. If you want, you can email me at info@legalvlogger.com and I can make a referral to a local attorney (if I know one in your area). Thanks, Barry
A CTA 🚎 was behind me and tried to go around and hit the side of my driver’s side rear end. I went to urgent care a few days later with neck back and shoulder pain. I end up going to personal therapy for over a year smh. During that time I received an mri and learned I had a multi level buldging disc,torn rotator cuff,and partially torn rotator cuff. I received 1 set of 4 injections in my back. Multiple cortisone shots in both shoulders before electing to have surgery on my partially torn rotator cuff on my dominant arm because that arm was in the most pain. It’s been a long drawn out process. The driver claimed they was distracted on the police report. This was 2 years ago. I’m wondering how long this process will take and what’s the value. This happened in Cook County. Seems like life hasn’t been the same since after the incident especially being active in my children’s live like I use too. Thanks
Morning. Very sorry you're going through this. If you can tie all these injuries to the accident, your case has significant value. How much, I can't say. It depends on so many different factors especially since a public entity is involved. As far as time, do you have a trial date set yet? I assume with these types of injuries that you have an attorney already. Have you asked her or him these questions? That would be your best source of info for you. Sorry I can't be more help but there's a lot at play here and I just can't be precise on anything I would try and tell you. Barry
@@LawFull My lawyer just said this will be quite the back log. He was hoping to hear from CTA this year. That was July of 2021. I haven’t been informed of any updates since then. No trial date as of now. I’m just being patient I know it takes time.
@@t-body4196 So there is a huge backlog here in Chi. And dealing with a public entity is always a pain. But I would press the issue if you figured you'd hear back in July. That's too long to be sitting on your hands. I know I personally would get too impatient for that.
was a passenger in a car that was rear ended. Had really bad headaches for amount a month. Got a referral for physical therapy but decided not to do it because o was too busy with college. The adjuster offered 1000, I countered with 1600 and she accepted immediately. I let her know that it was not my final "offer" and I'd talk to my lawyer first to see what he says and she agreed. What kind of money should I ask for? Thank you.
LawFull this is what is weird with some "victims", they claim this and that, refuse an offer and then some, but when it comes to medical treatment and further check up they refuse. is there really pain? or are they just making statements to get more money? people need to be honest so they can worry less. you were correct about your response to another one of your videos. some people just want to take advantage of the situation.
was rear-ended yesterday in georgia. called the cops and he said the other driver was 100% at fault. went to the ER and had xray and showed muscle spasms. still gotta get mri/ct since my head is still hurting and we already filed a claim with the insurance and everything is set. is it still worth getting an attorney or let insurance do its thing?
Hi, well, I generally recommend at least consulting with an attorney. If you're near ATL I know someone I can refer you to. If you want an introduction, email me your contact info at info@legalvlogger.com. No pressure.....
I'm currently being sued for over 7k damages and 1k in medical damages. My sedan against a ram truck at 25 mph left a dent in their rear bumper but totaled my car. This is not a reasonable charge is it? I don't have photos of their damage so how can I proceed to prove the damage was minimal?
Hi, so you were uninsured? Is that why you didn't just turn it over to your ins co? It's impossible for me to say whether its a reasonable charge. But certainly, if you're considering paying for this yourself, if it were me at least, I would ask for evidence like estimates/receipts/photos etc before I considered paying anything....
My wife and 2 year old son and 9 year old lil sister was rear ended today by our old lady at a stop sign she was stopped and the lady smashed the back of the car now the truck won’t stay shut and some damage from the impact affected the back passenger seat door she has pain in her neck back head and hips

@@stone.stoner.fishing6335 Morning, let me know if you're going to reach out to that attorney. No pressure of course. But I'd appreciate the heads up. Thanks much. Barry
Hi, so I was just in an accident yesterday, I rear ended another vehicle. There was no injury, his car barely took any damage, but my car is pretty banged up. I got a ticket for careless driving, should I hire TicketClinic to fight it so I won’t get the points for insurance? Or is the probability of winning not in my favor?
Hey Zachary, I'm not familiar with that firm. To be honest, traffic tickets and traffic law etc. is really outside of my domain so to speak. I don't know the likelihood of success so I'm a bit hesitant to comment on this. Sorry I can't be more help on this one.
I was at a light while doing a food delivery. I got rear ended by a drunk driver. He pushed me into the truck in front of me. My front passenger headlight hit their driver rear end light but the back of my car was smashed in. The drunk drivers front end was totaled. He ended up leaving the scene since ths cops took forever to show up. But he tried getting sober by getting food and drinking an energy drink. He owned up to it being his fault but then left. There was even an open beer can behind his seat. It was pretty obvious he was drunk when I got out of the car and other people could tell as well. I ended up going to the hospital and got diagnosed with a spinal sprain. It was also my moms car but im covered under her insurance as a driver. We both use it for work. Shes a cleaner and its her transportation for work and supplies. I use it for delivering food through uber eats.
@LawFull we unfortunately had to use ours and then theirs are splitting the 20000 they have for insurance amongst that two cars. They are also taking care of my medical and offered me 2500.
I would strongly suggest you consult with a local attorney. His conduct was egregious and they always start with a lowball offer.... If you don't know anyone, you can email me at info@legalvlogger.com and tell me what city and state you're in and I'll check if I know anyone. Barry@@sarawr5949
Hello , This is amazing what you do. I have learn so much. My daughter was at fault hitting someone from behind and we thought we had full coverage but we didn’t have bodily injury. We live in Florida. We have Geico ins. they took care everything else. It’s been 2 years and we just got a letter from a collection office claiming she needs to pay 50,000 to I guess her ins company. Please help us with any information. Thank you for your time .
Hi, thank you. YOu should first figure out who is trying to collect from you. Also, just because a collection company sends you a letter does not mean that they have filed a lawsuit and won and are now collecting a judgement against you. You need to get more clarification about what the basis of what they are trying to do before you act.
yesterday on my way home from work I was stopped at a red light 1.5 car lengths away from the SUV ahead of me. I saw something flash in my rear view mirror, i saw a mans head looking down. I felt a bang, then heard a crunch. I remember trying to open my door but the door was jammed and i couldnt see out my window as the front was crushed in. A witness saw and stopped thank god. He said the man behind me appeared to be texting never looked up or slowed down. He said he must of been going around 40 to 60 kmh and quote 'smoked' me launching my car into the suv ahead of me There was absolutely no time to react . The SUV owner helped me, the man who caused the accident didnt even bother to ask if i was ok and just seemed annoyed by the entire thing. He literally said he must of been day dreaming.
I was in a car accident on July 5 2018 it was a read end accident and was taking to the hospital by ambulance in Chicago and i have already did all of my therapy and i have a laywer that handle my case my injury was a lower back injury i have a lot of back pain so is that normal for me
Hey Milton, I think you need to talk to your attorney about that. If you're still dealing with pain 18 months later you may have a more serious injury. Definitely let your lawyer know
I was involved in a 3 vehicle accident yesterday, in the accident I was the last vehicle to collide with the vehicle in the center of the collision while the first vehicle in front of the vehicle I rear ended fled the scene all together. The vehicle in the center rear ended the vehicle in front of him while the first fled the scene and the middle vehicle and I exchanged information and we were both ok, but the damage on his vehicle and my vehicle are evident. On the scene we did not call the police, but I get a call at work saying the middle driver rear ended called stating he was confused with everything. But now I'm confused because before I left the scene he was responsive, alert, and mentioned he was ok just light neck pain. Never been through anything like this before at all. Any advice would be super helpful.
Hey Mike, if it were me I'd turn it over to my insurance company and remove yourself from speaking with the other party altogether. This is the reason you have insurance in the first place.
Sooo I just got hit by a hospital transport van while I was at a stop sign and my back is hurting so bad I went to the Er I have a lawyer I go see Monday but I’ll definitely be suing . How much do you think I can get plus I can’t drive because I’m so freaking scared
@@aloraaveryaa I simply give a #. It depends on what your injury is - if it's a back sprain, not much. If you have a herniated disc, then a lot. If your medical bills are a couple thousand dollars, then not much, if you have surgery and have 40k in meds, then a lot more. It's totally up in the air right now....
Hello I got rear-ended last Friday I was headed to work and at a pedestrian crosswalk I started to slow down because the cars in front of me were slowing down I made a complete stop but the pickup truck that was behind me was most likely distracted and crash into me let know what u think do I have a good case should I proceed with it
Hey Christopher, well, whether you have a case or not depends on if you suffered any injuries and then got medical treatment for them. If yes, then you have a case. If not then you have a property damage case only and that's not something you (should) need a lawyer for. Barry

Hi, i was just rear ended today. I was with 1 passenger, the driver gave us her ID and insurance and she was drunk, i didn’t call the police the damage was minimal , but we had neck pain and back pain since. I have no insurance. We live in the state of Missouri. How should i pursue this case ?
Good morning, well, you an either call her insurance and file a claim on your own or you can hire an attorney who can do it for you. I'm a little concerned that you did not call the police in this situation. Do you know if she gave you real info? Barry
@@LawFull Yes i have pictures of her ID and insurance and they totally match plus make of car matches insurance as well. I didn’t call police because i have no insurance didn’t want to be cited for have no insurance. I did want the drunk driver off the road though, hope she didn’t hit anyone else.
@@rahmanmohamed7364 Hi, you mean you were injured in the accident? If yes, then you should probably get an attorney. If you tell me what major city you are near in MO I can see if I know someone.
I was rear ended 2 days ago, I was nearly stopped, going through a turn... he hit me, going 45 (10 over the limit). Initial diagnosis is just a concussion and strained neck. I was working, delivering pizza. Other driver was uninsured, had no license, and didn't own the car. I have full coverage but no rental coverage so im out of work until this is settled and I get a car. The first officer on site actually caught the accident on his dash cam from about 3 blocks away, driving opposite direction as me. He said night of the accident before he filed the report that he's writing a lot of citations, at least 5 off top of his head. Is it worth suing? My full coverage is only $30k, and equal trade in value for my car gets me a car that's far less valuable than the car I had due to inflation and used car prices. I'm concerned I won't get a fair value from my insurance... if I don't, I'd like to know what options there are for me to get fair financial compensation.
Hi, first, you're dealing with your own insurance so you won't be 'suing' per se. If you don't get adequate value for your vehicle in your eyes, you would need to appeal that decision - check the terms of your policy asap as they will dictate how you do that. But don't delay. As far as needing an attorney, depends how severe your concussion is. If you still have side effects and need more treatment, then to get full value from your case I would talk to an attorney.....
Hi I was rear ended at a red light the at fault drivers insurance company offered me only $835.00 for my loss wages and minor whiplash and they would fix my vehicle and get me a rental I declined, so they offered $1,135 I told her I deserve at least $4000 they said absolutely not of course so I told them I would seek legal consultation . Is my case worth getting a lawyer? I really dont want to drag it out and I don't have the time or energy I just want a fair personal Injury settlement before Christmas. Your response is greatly appreciated
Its a tough spot. Im not sure you can get much more without a lawyer but how much more is it really worth? And, if you get a lawyer you will pay attorneys fees....
I was in a hit and run on Halloween in 2020, I was rear ended and pushed into the car in front of me, and after a visit to ER I was told I had a mild compression fracture, whiplash, and shoulder bruising. The downside is both parties left the scene. I’ve secured a lawyer, but after a year I haven’t gotten many updates outside of them filing suit against my own insurance company. The car I bought in September the year prior was technically totaled, but my insurance company wouldn’t total it because they valued it for more than I paid, and as a result of those injuries I lost my job because of trips to PT and being unable to perform necessary functions on the job. At this point I don’t know what to expect. Is there any advice you can offer to someone in my position?
I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. Sounds like you should go back to your attorney for more info. Since you're represented by an attorney I'm a bit hesitant to say more than that. Just don't let them off the hook. Explain that you're feeling very uneasy and you really need them to provide you some answers...
Hello! I am active duty military and got ear ended last night. I only have liability insurance and my car is pretty much totaled. The guy who hit me is an undocumented immigrant. How do I go about this because obviously he doesn’t have insurance? I went to the ER last night and the entire left side of my body hurts.
Hi Justinne. I don't have good news for you. If he has no insurance and you have liab only, you're going to pay for your damages out of pocket. Your meds will be taken care of through the military I would assume. But there's no good answer. Normally I'd say sue the guy in small claims court but he doesnt have insurance or any assets most likely. Sorry you're dealing with this.
I was recently in a car accident I was rearended by a drunk driver my car was totaled I was diagnosed with sprain of cervical spine, sprain of the thoracic , and sprain of Lumbar would that be considered 3 injuries or just 1 back injury?
Every injury has it's own ICD Code. If you look at your medical records they will be there. Each is its own injury. However, that's not to say that just because you have "three" ICD codes and three injuries you can triple the amount you expect to recover. However, it is important to point out all your injuries for sure.
Yes I have a question please, If rear ended and pushed violently into another vehicle. How do One obtain highway footage for the state of Virginia if representing their self and the police report shows at fault and the car in the back barely moving? I know it’s a tough question. Please let me know your thoughts
Hi, not sure how to get a VA traffic camera. I would research the Virginia Department of Transportation. I'm in Chicago and don't know anything about VA law. As far as fault, I would focus on if you have any damage in the rear of your vehicle as evidence you were pushed into the car in front of you.
Hi Barry. I live in California and was recently rear ended. My car was totaled in the accident. Thankfully, I was not injured. I suspect the driver was texting. No lost wages. Do I have a case? My 13 year old car was in very good condition, maintained properly, had low miles - 65,000, the engine was rebuilt at 51,000 so the car had a lot of life left in it.
Good morning, if you were not injured and didnt require medical treatment then there is no case for pain and suffering etc. All there is is a property damage. Is that what you meant?
@@LawFull Yes. My 13 year old car, that had a lot of life left to it, was taken away from me by a negligent driver who I believe was texting at the time of collision.
@@aviduser1961 That's awful but fortunately there were no injuries. Not much that can be done but file a claim with the insurance company and recover what you can for the damage to the vehicle.
I was rear ended on highway and then few minutes later when EMT arrived another car smashed into me while they were unbuckling my belt. And i suffered a concussion. Woke up next day out of hospital in my bed dont even remember anything. Its been 6 years and same settlement offer of $30k after disbursements i would have around $17k in hand. This is same offer they said 6 years before i got a lawyer! So fed up. What was the point of me getting a lawyer if they couldn’t get me anything more. Any opinions?
Hi, its really difficult to say anything in a situation like this. There are so many factors like size of the insurance policy, amount of meds, laws in your state. I couldnt say one way or the other. Sorry I cant be more help.
Hi 1st of all I really value your blog on this. I have a very simple case because at the time of my rear end accident. I did not have any personal injury at all but I’m curious how long does it take for the lost wages verification until the settlement check comes in my mail? Thank you boss

I'm in North Carolina, rear end collision while sitting still...Geico is offering to pay medical $5K, damages $1K and myself directly $1K as the second offer...I think that is low, please advise if it's a reasonable offer or should I get a lawyer.
Straight out of the insurance company template. Total b.s. Call attorney Sean Cole 919-999-7213 - tell him Barry from Chicago referred you. So frustrating this is exactly what insurance companies do. Pay your meds and $500 or 1k to the victim. B.S. Thanks for your comment.
I got rear ended pretty bad the other day with my family all being in the car ( wife, our two kids and my kid brother) the guy who hit us didn’t have insurance and my insurance told me they won’t cover medical payments and I have full coverage. Should I lawyer up?
@@LawFull that’s the tricky part, I have a history of back issues and just recently got epidural injections 2 weeks ago and now days after the crash I’m feeling pain again
@@carlos23cuellar That does complicate things. I think you should speak to a lawyer asap.... If you want a referral, you can email me your contact info and city and state and the facts to info@legalvlogger.com. I will see if I know anyone near where your accident occurred.
Hello I have a question I seen your videos and see that your are great help and respect what you are doing by helping the community! But my question is me and my 3 kid’s got rear ended last week. My daughter (1) passed out. But we got her to wake up finally after 1 minute. Me and my older son is having body/back pain and my is hurting as well. What do I do?
Hi Louise, you would normally start by filing claims with the ins co for the person who hit you and your own ins as well if you want. You could also consult with a local attorney as they might be a better resource for you. What city/state did this occur in? Barry
Hi, I was hit from the rear by a speeding ambulance on the freeway, and suffer from head concussion, back pain and neck pain. But I want to know if I’ve a case since it was an ambulance. I was in the right lane on the freeway of a 3-4 lanes highway. Was slowing down to pull over when I got hit from behind.
Hi, you may still have a case even though its an ambulance. I would have to know a lot more about the facts of the accident. What city/state did this take place in? I may know someone who can help you. Barry
@@LawFull it happen in Aurora, CO around 6pm so it was dark. The ambulance that hit me took me to the near by hospital so I wasn’t on the scene of the accident when the police arrive and I believe the ambulance probably return to the scene after they drop me off to the hospital.
@@nadia4now Hi, ok. Well, if you would like an introduction to a Denver attorney, I would need your contact information. Best way to get that to me is to email me at info@legalvlogger.com .
I rear ended a car at a stop sign 🛑 going like 5mph the road was snowy and slick so the suv just drifted but it was just a fender bender. It was a rental car and I wasn’t the one that rented it my relative did so his insurance is trying to go after my insurance is that okay?
Hi. I was rear ended recently. Do I file a claim for with the at fault drivers insurance directly? I called my own insurance and that's what they told me to do. Or does my own insurance file the claim against their own insurance? I am still waiting for a police report. I didn't get the drivers insurance information yet.
Hi! I was rear ended yesterday and I have no idea how I will recover for all the damages (yes I have insurance) but .. like do I really have to Pay a deductible and stuff even when it wasn’t my fault?!? How can I recover that money
How does one know how much insurance is available and how much my case is worth? I’ve hired an attorney since I began going to PT and I was told I have a double herniation in my lower back and one of my left shoulder. I was hit twice, on the driver side and the rear
Hi since you have an attorney I would ask them what the law is about that in your state. But you obviously have serious injuries. In my state of IL if we do a couple of things we can obtain the insurance amount....
Thank you for the info. Today my car was totaled by a tow truck. Traffic was stopped on a on 55 mph road. My insurance is overlapped and I don't know what the next step is.
I was rear ended $5000 worth damage. I was hoping the damage cost was higher, since I didn't want to keep a vehicle with accident report in it's history. Is there anything I can do with insurance company to meet in the middle maybe?
Hey boss man I have a question about it bc the guy the hit me it was a companys car and they have full coverage insurance worth 2M. So the story goes like this i was driving down normally going 45 to 50 mhp right so I had a 2003 Yukon XL so he hit me on my side causing me to go to the right my tuck turned off and the wheel got locked when i tried turning the truck back on I tried to turned the truck the opposite side facing back to normal but it was to fast and it caused me to flip on the side of the palm tree 🌴 smashed my hole roof to my tuck and smashed my rear end and it's been 5-30-2020 since that day
Hey I just got hit at a red light but i didn't call the police but i have her name license and know where her house is but she's not answering my calls now. What should I do?
Should I get a attorney for this we have really bad whip lash I got a cut on my head and a concussion he was at fault all the way we were on the second lane two the exit and at the end of the collision we ended up I. The carpool lane facing opposite way of the freeway. Me and my girlfriend are only 20 and 21 I just got this truck 3 days ago and he totaled it as well as put us in the hospital! Should I get a attorney for this?
I'm biased as an attorney - I think you should in fact get a lawyer. If you want to tell me what city and state you're in I'll see if I know anyone I can refer you to. Your odds of recovering more than a nominal amount are greater if you have an attorney in general. But again, I'm biased.... Barry
Definitely hire a lawyer, and see a neurologist who specializes in sports injuries to help you with your concussion. That is an injury that could be permanent.
Today---Weather conditions GREAT. Since the light at the intersection JUST TURNED GREEN for approaching traffic, the approaching lead car is approaching the intersection with the JUST TURNED GREEN light, going about 15 miles an hour. This is a well traveled intersection. Not rush hour, its only 3:15 pm in the afternoon. I am about 3 car lengths behind the lead car. At the pedestrian crosswalk/the delimiting line, the lead car ABRUPTLY slams on his brakes and stops. I take evasive action by slamming on my brakes. Unfortunately, my car taps the bumper of the lead car and now there is a fender bender. I'm mad!!!!, but remain calm. We both pull over. I asked him what was he thinking? the light was just green???? He admitted that he did not want to go through the green light and possibly get caught in the intersection. He admitted stopping abruptly at a GREEN LIGHT!! I live in CALIFORNIA. I am not at fault, as I had the proper following length AND the light had just turned green. There was no reason for the driver of the lead car to make a decision to cause a hazard, as he stopped for no cause other than he did not want to go into the intersection on a green light and possibly get caught in the intersection.... Oh brother!
Hi, sorry you're going through this. Sounds like you have a pretty good argument that you're not entirely at fault at least for the accident. Make the case to his or her insurance company and to your own company as well and see what happens.....
What about a passenger receiving a rotator cuff and impingement because of the seatbelt doing its job from a rearend collision. Now the doctor did recomend surgery I refused surgery because of a bad experience from a surgery from the 90's were I almost died.
Hello, if you're asking how much its worth, that would be very hard to determine. First, I'd hire an attorney. But if you're going to do it on your own, it depends on the amount of your medical bills, the severity of your injury and the impact etc like I say in the video. However, if you were advised to get surgery by a physician and you chose not to, it will be very difficult to obtain what the case theoretically could be worth.
Me and my son was rear ended yesterday the guy was texting he left changed cars came back provided false information I need help I just found out everything was
I was rear ended four months ago felt back pain immediately went to the hospital they said I had some strain muscle I just completed 8 weeks of physical therapy then I dropped out of treatment due to having to work to pay bills I now awaiting medical bills being collected I did a mri in Kat screen the other person was responsible smashed my trunk in do you know the reange my settlement could be I need answers
Good morning, it's very hard to say based on these facts. If you're representing yourself, prepare to be low balled by the insurance company. But from a 10k foot perspective, back sprains and strains are not worth that much just in general.
@@bartyparty7187 Ok, sounds like you've done the right things. Your attorney would be much better suited to giving you an estimated value than I would.
LawFull my medical bill came up to a little over 25k my lawyer didn’t wanna throw out numbers he also stated he doesn’t like when the medical bills to high
Hey I am from Texas. I went to visit my aunt in Florida and someone hit me from the side and my rear door is all damaged. I called police and he said other party is at fault, he should have stop on stop sign. I claim his insurance and insurance adjuster is saying I am at 30% fault and other person at 70%. They were saying I should have stopped or honk. So, in this case how can I get 100 %?
Hi, that's a typical insurance company b.s. move to try and save some money. You can either draw the line - do it in writing and give them till etc etc to accept 100% or you will file suit. You can probably file suit in small claims court on your own depending on what the laws are there. Or you can use your own insurance to get the property damage fixed and let them go after the other insurance company for reimbursement.
I am currently living in the United Kingdom and on the 21st of may 2019, I was driving a company van on the M25 Motorway, heading towards Junction 4 and 5 headlining towards North Watford. what can I claim for on my personal claims form sent to me from my claims solicitors PS - I have noticed that the driver who caused the accident is refusing to give his last name on his insurance company documents.
Apparently in Tennessee the way the law is set up is as long as you don't break anything they don't consider you to be in severe pain and suffering! I was here last Monday by truck doing 50 miles an hour and didn't even hit the brakes when it collided into the back of my car stopped at a light, I didn't break anything but I'm in so much pain now I'm about to commit myself to a mental institution due to the fact I wasn't given anything for pain! Suffering so bad right now I'm in tears that I can't get a doctor to even talk to me about anything for pain. This is all on top of the depression I'm suffering from losing my favorite car and being in so much pain I can't enjoy even the simplest pleasures of life! My life was hell before I got hit now it's hell + 2!
I just got a car 3 days ago, 18 years old, rear ended by a guy in his 40s with no insurance or license going 40mph, thank god my car is fine tho, minor paint damage and 3-4 minor cracks in the bumper, i just got some money from the guy and decided to get it fixed.
I had a question on what I should do I got rear ended 2 days ago and the guy didn’t have insurance and the car also wasn’t his I didn’t have my phone on me or anything I could use to get any type of information the guy ended up leaving
Hi, then hopefully you have uninsured motorist coverage. If not, the only thing left to do is file a lawsuit. If the property damage is relatively small, you may be able to file in small claims court - depending on what the max amount is in your state.
Hi I have got in a car accident two days ago i was lane changing and I was half way in the lane already and somebody speed up and hit my car and my car when to the other side of the street this is my first car accident maybe I wasn’t moving fast enough I’m not sure if this was my fault or the other person
@@queenjaydarealest5482 I see. It's really difficult for me to know who was at fault without a lot more information. Did the police come and file a report? What did the police report say regarding fault? That is the first place I would look. Then, your insurance company is going to interview all the parties involved and inspect the physical evidence. They will also make a determination of fault. So start there I would say. Barry
@@queenjaydarealest5482 I see. So you're trying to figure out if you should accept partial fault for an accident. Listen, the best thing to do is to consult with a local attorney. Just Google 'personal injury attorney near me.' I'm sure there are a lot of local attorneys who might be able to help out with your situation.
I was involved in a rear-end collision as I was waiting at an intersection at a red light. I was not injured, but my vehicle was just declared a total loss. The driver's insurance is paying for near the remainder of what I owe to the bank on my car and repairs I had already done. Is there any other legal action I am entitled to pursue?
My question is My mom and i was rear ended at a stop light , the police came said the lady that rear ended you was ticketed for carless driving , it was her fault. My mom was hurt So the police called an abulance and took her to the hosoital The hospital charged over $70,000 ! The ladys insuance paid for the damage on my car , my moms madicare paid the hospital $77,000 my question is are we gonna get paid for my mom suffeting ?

Every state has their own rule. Here in IL all we have to do is demand it in writing and provide some med bills and records. For your state you'd have to consult with a local attorney. Sorry I can't give you a better answer on this one....
Dr. LawFull, Today I was waiting at the drive thru at KFC and then I was always looking car behind while waiting then I see the car coming crash my rear bumper scratches across bottom bumper and he said welling to pay repair for even though I still don’t trust so I call my insurance right always. Also nobody injured include me. Does good idea he said willing to pay for repair for me?
Hi, Well generally speaking there isn't anything to do then. But I would watch the video if you didn't already. But again I would say if there's no injuries in there is no damages there really isn't anything to do.
Theoretically what you would actually look at is what is called severity of impact. But yes essentially you're looking at the amount of property damage there is. However, it is been proven that there can be serious injuries even with minor property damage.
Hi I agree 100% at least go to the doctor and get checked out. Right after an accident your adrenaline is rushing and you have no idea what could be wrong with you. Thank you for the comment.
Hi, get some medical treatment - focus on your health not your case. File a claim with the guy who hit you his insurance. First go to your primary care physician and let them refer you where you should go....
So I was in a rear end accident today. Not my fault came to a stop an elderly couple hit me he comes out says he’s in the wrong I say we’ll should I call the cops because I had no idea what to do I’ve never been in an accident I figured I had to call the cops but wasn’t sure he tells me no it’s fine I take pictures of his insurance card and license my mom calls and files a claim to my insurance (State Farm) since I didn’t call the cops am I going to be fine or? I don’t know very confused about the situation anyways if you could get back to me that would be great. Thank you.
How much money would a person end up with out of a 40,000 settlement? This is just a example . 25,000 insurance and 15, 000 for uninsured motorist which brings it to 40,000 dollars. Let’s say for example the lawyer fee is 33 percent this is just a example. How much does a person walk away with after being hit from the rear sitting at a red light . Let say the person did four months of physical therapy also . Again this is just a example. I would really appreciate it if you would be so kind and nice to take the time and answer this example. Thank you .
Hi, you would take the $40,000 subtract 15 or 12k or whatever for attorneys fees subtract the medical expenses that you have to reimburse to either your Physicians or your health insurance company subtract expenses to order the medical bills and records and whatever is left is what the victim would get
I got pictures and I still have the vehicle took videos and pictures barely any damage to him totaled my whole rear end and I just paid for it $33.00 paid saved a lot of checks so I feel like I couldn't do anything please help I don't want to be in debt for something I didn't do
Hello I had an accident July 4th 2017 I hit another vehicle that cut me off then suddenly stopped in my lane the accident happened on the expressway I had insurance at the time full coverage insurance I provided the information to the driver and the damages were not extreme. Both vehicles were drivable and thankfully the driver and passenger were physically fine & had no injurys. Myself and the other driver waited for two hours till a state trooper arrived to write up an report. I was the one who contacted the police the driver asked that I call the police and I was not sure why he asked but I did anyways. the following day I reported the accident to my insurance company I provided them with photos, a statement and report # I was given by the officer . I then went to get an estimate for my car damages I went to the specific location they provided The cost was too expensive for me so I did not get my car repaired . My insurance company never contacted me nor did the other drivers insurance company. so I assumed they handled it as they should have. A few months after the accident I had issues with my vehicle and was no longer driving it. I stopped paying my car insurance since I was no longer driving nor did I own a vehicle . Fast forward today I was served by a police officer with a summons and I am being sued for 50,000 + I still have all the photos of the damages and i even have a photo of the passenger who is a minor. my question is can a person chose not to file a claim thru my insurance and then sue me instead . The driver filed the law suit on April 24 2019 took them a year to serve me due to my address changes . Another question , because the complaint waited almost two years to file a lawsuit against me does that help my.case at all ?
Hi, as long as they file suit within the statute of limitations its fine and the amount of time they wait or failure to file with your insurance is irrelevant.

Hey i rear ended someone but there was no damage on his car at all. police was involved and all he said is you guys can just exchange information and thats all. The guy was a douche and wanted to file a report but my question is if the cop says there is no damage can he still get involved with insurance and make this a big deal. If u respond that would be great
Sure. Whether your insurance company will compensate them or not is a different question. But they can still file a claim and try and seek compensation.

@@raymondhernandez7777 Hi, well if you don't have coverage for that, and their insurance is denying coverage for whatever reason, the only way to get reimbursed is to go after the other guy - probably in small claims court.

@@LawFullI got it all tooken care as for getting my car fixed and rental so hopefully arbitration finds him liable and I can get reimbursed, it’s just frustrating that this guy with his prior DUI’s, being in a SR22 and getting into a hit and run still hasn’t learned or had charges filed on him and to make matters worse his insurance sides with him know he’s clearly at fault
I've had 2 of them... And both of them ran.. No help. 1 was in 2000. And 1 in 2019. And let me tell you, 3 months to 6 months after, I am in serious pain. I can't afford hospital. So I am Miserable. Neck & back. Constant pain now.
Hi just because you're pregnant won't change the fundamentals (unless something happened to the baby). Severity of impact, injuries, permanency, medical bills - all the same things apply.
Hi JJ, did you get medical attention for it? For me, I always tell people to focus on their health not their case. If you're in pain and you have insurance, get some treatment for it.
@@LawFull yes, few hours after accident I went to see a doctor and they listed as sprain of ligaments of cervical spine , Initial encounter. They gave me pain killers which I have been taking. I was hoping the discomfort goes away but it isn't happening
@@fh3486 I'm not a doctor of course but if you're still in pain sounds like you may need more treatment JJ. Perhaps PT or visit a chiro. Again, not a doctor, just seems to me if you're still in pain you ought to see someone.
Hi, I was rear ended by at fault driver carrying 300k usaa liability limit. I suffered cervical strain (MRI found 3 C’s injuries), memory loss, headaches and after 8 months of PT I was feeling really good. 2 months After ending therapy I began suffering from numbness in right hand, tingling in feet and neck pain. I’m currently paying for my own therapy. The at fault driver insurance company sent me to their independent doctor. It’s been over a year and my private doctor says I’ll likely have neck pain permanently. Btw driver took full responsibility it was her 3rd rear end in 10 years. What should I expect?
Hi, it's really difficult for me to say Have you consulted with a local attorney about this? I would strongly recommend you do so. I know - I'm biased. But I honestly believe you'll do better if you find someone who knows the system to rep you.... Just my 2 cents.
I do have an attorney. The problem I’m having is they advise me if what the insurance company doing not what I should expect. I’m paying out of pocket medical cost for therapy because they say medical bills exhausted file already submitted. Whatever that means. I want to be realistic and I’m not receiving honest and realistic answers from the firm.
@@toughitout31 Impossible for me to know. Depends on severity of injury, permanency of injury, amount of medical bills and many other factors. That's really a question better suited for your own attorney. If you don't like the info the attorney is providing you, got to talk to her or him and get them to get you better info. And as a last resort, if you really are angry at the attorney, you could consider getting a new one.
Hi, unfortunately it's impossible for me to know that. Depends on severity of injuries, amount of medical bills and a bunch of other factors. Do you have an attorney?
Yea so what happened is he was in a moving box truck company vehicle named Rhyder and it was stop and go traffic and he kept riding my ass and swerving different lanes then we passed a freeway merge and we went to a complete stop he had a bunch of space between me and him and he started to hall ass we got hit from the back I couldn’t go anywhere we just had to take the hit he would of killed us if we were in a car bro no questions about it

Depends on the state. In my state of IL if we provide certain docs the insurance company is obligated to tell us. Ask your attorney about the law in your state.
I have been a passenger in 3 different rear end accidents in 6 years. It is such a weird feeling to be stopped, feeling safe, and all of a sudden being hit from behind.
I've been rear ended myself in a similar situation. It is weird I agree.

I caused a rear-end collision 5 years ago, and it took three years to settle the case out of court. For my auto insurance, I had $100K for each category: liability, collision, and comprehensive. If you take out more insurance, say $200K instead of $100K, would it be more likely the case would actually go to trial (since there's more money to be had)?
That's a really good question it is kind of a catch-22. If there's more money certainly there's more at stake in the likelihood of going to trial is greater depending on the severity of injuries.
@@LawFull Thanks.
I witnessed two rear end accidents lately, both in the next lane and both happened in the business traffic, both drivers were looking down at the phone. Yes I could see them from the next lane, with my mouth open.
Yep. Happens all the time unfortunately. Cell phones are a blessing and a curse.
This is the issue here!
I was just rear ended by a man in a truck. He admitted to being on his cell phone
I was just in a rear end accident today. A taxi in front of me stopped for no reason, and I stopped way ahead of time. Then a car behind me who wasn't paying attention hit me from behind. This is my first accident where I was the driver. It's very stressful. My mom is telling me to see about filing with an attorney. I'm not physically injured, but mentally it is straining and stressful (i'm sure for anyone as well). I will probably ask an attorney just to see what they say, not sure.
Morning - sorry for the delay responding. Sure, consult with an attorney. However, if there were no injuries, it's unlikely an attorney would get involved. Still, can't hurt to get a local attorney's thoughts on the case....
I live in Chicago and was involved in a rear end collision. A semi truck and myself were going down a two lane road he was ahead of me but traveling in the same direction, the semi truck was making a right handed turn on to a private road from the left lane but had no turning signal on (he claimed to the police that he did have it on), once I realized the semi rruck was making a right turn from the left lane I slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting the semi truck, but when I did the vehicle behind me collided with me. Police showed up took a report but did not issue any tickets to any driver, there were no injuries to anyone. The semi truck was not hit at all and the only two vehicles involved in the crash were myself and the person who rear ended me. I filed a claim with the insurance of the person who rear ended me, but they are denying the claim on grounds that their insured driver was not the proximate cause. What are my options?
This doesn't make any sense to me. If you were rear ended generally speaking the other driver is going to be at fault. File a claim with your own insurance to get the repairs made and they will subrogate or seek reimbursement from the other driver's insurance. You'll have to pay your deductible but you should get it back if your insurance company wins. Odd situation.
@@LawFull I only have liability so my insurance (state farm) won't cover the cost of repairs for my vehicle, but they did advise me to file a claim with his insurance company (Safeway), with them rejecting the claim I dont know what my next step should be.
You will have to file a lawsuit. If the damage is less than $10k, you can file on your own in small claims court
@@LawFull Thank you so much, I will begin to file a lawsuit, and hopefully they pay out
I was rear ended 12 weeks ago. I'm not sure if I qualify for loss wages. The trucking company has a policy that states that I have to drive 1200 miles a week to be considered a full time driver. Is this going to hurt my case for loss wages.
I also would like to know if I have to return to the same company to recover loss wages ?
How did it go
Question: the other day I was making a right hand turn into a shopping outlet. I used my turn signal as well to turn, I slowed down and turned into the parking lot. The lot is in a diagonal setting so I had to slow down. One more thing- there is no turning lane prior to pulling in, it’s straight from the street. As I parked in my parking spot, a man approached me and said I just caused an accident because when I turned, the woman behind me had to stop immediately, he was in back of the woman so he rear ended her. Well of course I denied guilt! I did not take responsibility. He approached me twice trying to say it was my fault because I made an abrupt turn! I used my turn signal at the appropriate time and slowed down to turn. I did nothing wrong, I didn’t cut in front of the woman behind me and suddenly turned. I was driving in the right lane to turn. One more thing, the woman behind me didn’t hit me. The collision occurred after I pulled into the parking lot.The man was driving a truck with a trailer hitched. I told him I will not apologize for him tailgating the woman behind me. I didn’t feel comfortable just leaving the scene in case he took my tag down and reported that I left the scene. In fact I told him I was going to wait for the Sheriff and explain to the Sheriff what I did! After I said that he said I wasn’t involved nothing happened to me I should at least say I was sorry. That erupted into an argument over him tailgating!! Because he was so insistent that my turning caused the accident, I waited one hour to speak to law enforcement when they arrived on the scene. I explained everything I did and that I didn’t break any laws. And that the man approached me twice insisting I caused it - and I didn’t!! He thanked me and didn’t even take my information down. Am I correct in saying I’m not responsible?? I live in Florida
Sounds like it to me.....
@@LawFull thank you!! Sorry my post was so long but I was stressing over the fact that he could have taken down my tag number and tried making me take responsibility.
@@loriwelch9015 That is always a possibility unfortunately. But it sounds to me like you've done the right things.
I was rear ended by a school bus going 40mph while yielding to turn. Car totaled. 2 months PT for neck and back sprain. Fully recovered now. Generally speaking, how much more is a case worth when it’s a large commercial vehicle at fault? x2, x3?
Also does that make the case take longer or faster to settle?
Hi, I've found it can make a difference in terms of value of the case because there is a larger insurance policy. I can't comment however on time it takes slower or faster. I've had both long and short cases with commercial carriers.... Does that answer your questions?
Hi,
Have you got a settlement offer?
just got rear ended 2 days ago and this is the second time got rear ended. The first guy came out from no where while I was waiting for the red light and he hit us hard. He was not insured. I lost my car. Lucky no injuries, Second same thing was waiting on the red light I saw this crazy driver on the rear mirror was driving crazy and I tried to move left to avoid him and bam he hit me.
My wife and her friend just got rear-ended, Charleston SC. Not much damage to Honda Pilot, but both feel back pain.
Hey Lee. Sorry to hear this. Injuries can be caused even in minor accidents - though insurance companies try and deny it. Did they get medical treatment yet? If not, that's super important. Let me know. Thanks, Barry
@@LawFull , not yet, happened 3 hrs ago. Passenger is in pain. (Back). 55 yr old females
Ok, well get treatment asap. After they do, feel free to reach back out.
Can u help me please I got rear ended yesterday I don't want to get screwed from other person's insurance on my settlement
Sure. Email me the situation at info@legalvlogger.com
I was rear ended the other day. Not a lot of damage to my car and didn't go to the hospital but now I'm way more achy than normal.
Hi - did you end up getting medical treatment?
Hello Mr Barry, I was hit in my rear a week or so ago while stopped. It hurt me real bad and have experienced much internal injury. I have difficulty walking and my stomach hurts badly. How much is my situation worth? Could you imagine what this is like? Smh
It's impossible to know at this point or really for a very long time actually. I strongly recommend getting a lawyer. If you want help finding one, let me know.
@@LawFull I need help finding one. I recently got into a car accident. I got rear ended in traffic. I was fully stopped but she slammed into my car and totaled it. This was 3 days ago, and me and my bf had to be taken to the hospital. He has a deep gash in his foot and is on crutches. Im not sure what to do or where to go. I have the accident report number but still waiting for it to be uploaded. She got ticketed and the coo said she was insured. Can I get any money out of this?

We live in Houston county texas. In Tyler Texas a driver rear ended my son’s car after he had stopped at a stop sign. His girlfriend was driving. This happened on State Highway155 where the traffic lights had stopped working and the highway department had put up Stop signs for a temporary traffic control. This spot had a person there flagging down traffic so people would know that they now needed to stop. While my son’s car was stopped another car didn’t stop and ran into him from the rear. DPS came and made out a report and filed it. The other driver had insurance. THE DPS officer said the report would be available in approximately 10 days. Ambulances came and put a neck brace on my son and offered to take him to a hospital. My son refused to let them saying he was concerned it would cost him too much money. He called me at home and I went to the scene of the accident and picked him up. He seemed like he was not at himself. He was very quiet and could not complete clear thoughts. He was in the front passenger seat and said that he had a hurt neck and some abdominal pain. No cuts. His girlfriend also had injuries. We carried him to the ER in Palestine Texas. His girlfriend also came to the ER with her sister. They both were seen by the ER Doctor and sent home. He was given a prescription. No X-rays were taken. The next day my son didn’t go to work and was still experiencing some sort of side effects. Sore neck, sore abdomen and still not fully normal in his demeanor. We wondered if maybe he had a concussion. His car was totaled by his insurance company. What should be our next course of action? If attorney is needed who would you recommend in this area? Thanks. This happened July 5, 2021 at around 10:45 pm.
Hi Rickey, so this happened nearer to Dallas not Houston is that right? I'm in IL so not that familiar with TX. I know a couple lawyers in DAL and HOU so either way.....
I was rear ended last weekend 11/27/22 in Richmond, Va while stopped behind another car. The college kid (on the phone going about 35mph} that hit me owned upto it 100% to me and the officer. When he hit me that pushed me into the driver in front of me causing minimal damage. This was all recorded on my front and rear facing dash cam.
My truck a 2010 Ford 250 Super has 300k plus miles on it had damage to the front grill/ bumper rear bumper tail gate I went to the emergency room for back pain headache and was prescribed 2 prescriptions for spasms/strains and told to follow up with chiropractor/primary care dr in 2 weeks....they saw no need for xrays and it was nothing severe.
I myself got a estimate for just short of 6k from Maaco for repairs, my question is should I at least expect to get the 6k in damages that Maaco from Progressive that my claim is with? i haven't gotten any other estimates because i have yet to have a adjuster come do a appraisal on my truck for damages' I also haven't heard from the personal injury person from Progressive either.
I was told by someone with Progressive that they ( I hope I heard this right) only honor Progressive estimates on damages. With that being said around what should I (a dollar figure) expect to receive for my damages (even though its a older truck with high mileage) and pain from a accident like this? Is it worth getting a lawyer with me not having severe injuries? Personally I don't think Progressive wants to go to court with the video footage showing that their insured was totally at fault, but i will if they come to me and want to settle for an absurd amount. If they do I will have a lawyer handle it. Thanks! for your reply, I'm just looking for some guidance and advice on what I should do. Thanks!
Hey good morning. I really couldn't estimate how much you're going to get at this point. It's way too early. Also, your injuries could actually turn into something. My strong recommendation...is that you consult with a local attorney on this matter. They will have a much better idea of the laws in your state and also how property damage works and how much cases are worth in your jurisdiction. I don't want to give you bad info. If you want, you can email me at info@legalvlogger.com and I can make a referral to a local attorney (if I know one in your area). Thanks, Barry
A CTA 🚎 was behind me and tried to go around and hit the side of my driver’s side rear end. I went to urgent care a few days later with neck back and shoulder pain. I end up going to personal therapy for over a year smh. During that time I received an mri and learned I had a multi level buldging disc,torn rotator cuff,and partially torn rotator cuff. I received 1 set of 4 injections in my back. Multiple cortisone shots in both shoulders before electing to have surgery on my partially torn rotator cuff on my dominant arm because that arm was in the most pain. It’s been a long drawn out process. The driver claimed they was distracted on the police report. This was 2 years ago. I’m wondering how long this process will take and what’s the value. This happened in Cook County. Seems like life hasn’t been the same since after the incident especially being active in my children’s live like I use too. Thanks
Morning. Very sorry you're going through this. If you can tie all these injuries to the accident, your case has significant value. How much, I can't say. It depends on so many different factors especially since a public entity is involved. As far as time, do you have a trial date set yet? I assume with these types of injuries that you have an attorney already. Have you asked her or him these questions? That would be your best source of info for you. Sorry I can't be more help but there's a lot at play here and I just can't be precise on anything I would try and tell you. Barry
@@LawFull My lawyer just said this will be quite the back log. He was hoping to hear from CTA this year. That was July of 2021. I haven’t been informed of any updates since then. No trial date as of now. I’m just being patient I know it takes time.
@@t-body4196 So there is a huge backlog here in Chi. And dealing with a public entity is always a pain. But I would press the issue if you figured you'd hear back in July. That's too long to be sitting on your hands. I know I personally would get too impatient for that.
was a passenger in a car that was rear ended. Had really bad headaches for amount a month. Got a referral for physical therapy but decided not to do it because o was too busy with college. The adjuster offered 1000, I countered with 1600 and she accepted immediately. I let her know that it was not my final "offer" and I'd talk to my lawyer first to see what he says and she agreed. What kind of money should I ask for? Thank you.
Really hard to know from this. So you got no medical treatment at all?
LawFull this is what is weird with some "victims", they claim this and that, refuse an offer and then some, but when it comes to medical treatment and further check up they refuse. is there really pain? or are they just making statements to get more money? people need to be honest so they can worry less.
you were correct about your response to another one of your videos. some people just want to take advantage of the situation.
was rear-ended yesterday in georgia. called the cops and he said the other driver was 100% at fault. went to the ER and had xray and showed muscle spasms. still gotta get mri/ct since my head is still hurting and we already filed a claim with the insurance and everything is set. is it still worth getting an attorney or let insurance do its thing?
Hi, well, I generally recommend at least consulting with an attorney. If you're near ATL I know someone I can refer you to. If you want an introduction, email me your contact info at info@legalvlogger.com. No pressure.....
Ur Asian and asians love to milk the system so I would say yes.

My sedan against a ram truck at 25 mph left a dent in their rear bumper but totaled my car. This is not a reasonable charge is it? I don't have photos of their damage so how can I proceed to prove the damage was minimal?
Hi, so you were uninsured? Is that why you didn't just turn it over to your ins co? It's impossible for me to say whether its a reasonable charge. But certainly, if you're considering paying for this yourself, if it were me at least, I would ask for evidence like estimates/receipts/photos etc before I considered paying anything....

Hi, so I was just in an accident yesterday, I rear ended another vehicle. There was no injury, his car barely took any damage, but my car is pretty banged up. I got a ticket for careless driving, should I hire TicketClinic to fight it so I won’t get the points for insurance? Or is the probability of winning not in my favor?
Hey Zachary, I'm not familiar with that firm. To be honest, traffic tickets and traffic law etc. is really outside of my domain so to speak. I don't know the likelihood of success so I'm a bit hesitant to comment on this. Sorry I can't be more help on this one.
I was rear end by tow truck and my case still not settle yet, it's been 3 year already.
Yep, cases can take forever.....
I was at a light while doing a food delivery. I got rear ended by a drunk driver. He pushed me into the truck in front of me. My front passenger headlight hit their driver rear end light but the back of my car was smashed in. The drunk drivers front end was totaled.
He ended up leaving the scene since ths cops took forever to show up. But he tried getting sober by getting food and drinking an energy drink. He owned up to it being his fault but then left. There was even an open beer can behind his seat. It was pretty obvious he was drunk when I got out of the car and other people could tell as well.
I ended up going to the hospital and got diagnosed with a spinal sprain. It was also my moms car but im covered under her insurance as a driver. We both use it for work. Shes a cleaner and its her transportation for work and supplies. I use it for delivering food through uber eats.
Very sorry you're going through this - what is the ins co saying??
@LawFull we unfortunately had to use ours and then theirs are splitting the 20000 they have for insurance amongst that two cars. They are also taking care of my medical and offered me 2500.
I would strongly suggest you consult with a local attorney. His conduct was egregious and they always start with a lowball offer.... If you don't know anyone, you can email me at info@legalvlogger.com and tell me what city and state you're in and I'll check if I know anyone. Barry@@sarawr5949
Hello , This is amazing what you do. I have learn so much. My daughter was at fault hitting someone from behind and we thought we had full coverage but we didn’t have bodily injury. We live in Florida. We have Geico ins. they took care everything else. It’s been 2 years and we just got a letter from a collection office claiming she needs to pay 50,000 to I guess her ins company. Please help us with any information. Thank you for your time .
Hi, thank you. YOu should first figure out who is trying to collect from you. Also, just because a collection company sends you a letter does not mean that they have filed a lawsuit and won and are now collecting a judgement against you. You need to get more clarification about what the basis of what they are trying to do before you act.
I had same problem they lawsuit against me , i dont know what to do . Did slovenly your problems yet?
yesterday on my way home from work I was stopped at a red light 1.5 car lengths away from the SUV ahead of me. I saw something flash in my rear view mirror, i saw a mans head looking down. I felt a bang, then heard a crunch. I remember trying to open my door but the door was jammed and i couldnt see out my window as the front was crushed in. A witness saw and stopped thank god. He said the man behind me appeared to be texting never looked up or slowed down. He said he must of been going around 40 to 60 kmh and quote 'smoked' me launching my car into the suv ahead of me There was absolutely no time to react . The SUV owner helped me, the man who caused the accident didnt even bother to ask if i was ok and just seemed annoyed by the entire thing. He literally said he must of been day dreaming.
Sorry to hear about this Stacey. Hopefully you weren't hurt. Barry
I was in a car accident on July 5 2018 it was a read end accident and was taking to the hospital by ambulance in Chicago and i have already did all of my therapy and i have a laywer that handle my case my injury was a lower back injury i have a lot of back pain so is that normal for me
Hey Milton, I think you need to talk to your attorney about that. If you're still dealing with pain 18 months later you may have a more serious injury. Definitely let your lawyer know
I was involved in a 3 vehicle accident yesterday, in the accident I was the last vehicle to collide with the vehicle in the center of the collision while the first vehicle in front of the vehicle I rear ended fled the scene all together. The vehicle in the center rear ended the vehicle in front of him while the first fled the scene and the middle vehicle and I exchanged information and we were both ok, but the damage on his vehicle and my vehicle are evident. On the scene we did not call the police, but I get a call at work saying the middle driver rear ended called stating he was confused with everything. But now I'm confused because before I left the scene he was responsive, alert, and mentioned he was ok just light neck pain.
Never been through anything like this before at all. Any advice would be super helpful.
Hey Mike, if it were me I'd turn it over to my insurance company and remove yourself from speaking with the other party altogether. This is the reason you have insurance in the first place.
Sooo I just got hit by a hospital transport van while I was at a stop sign and my back is hurting so bad I went to the Er I have a lawyer I go see Monday but I’ll definitely be suing . How much do you think I can get plus I can’t drive because I’m so freaking scared
Good morning, there is no way to know at this point. It depends on so many factors....
Most importantly is the severity of of injury.
LawFull I got to the doctor tomorrow my back hurts soooo bad
LawFull but how much have you seen before ? Someone get rear ended by commercial vehicle
@@aloraaveryaa I simply give a #. It depends on what your injury is - if it's a back sprain, not much. If you have a herniated disc, then a lot. If your medical bills are a couple thousand dollars, then not much, if you have surgery and have 40k in meds, then a lot more. It's totally up in the air right now....

Hey Christopher, well, whether you have a case or not depends on if you suffered any injuries and then got medical treatment for them. If yes, then you have a case. If not then you have a property damage case only and that's not something you (should) need a lawyer for. Barry

Hi, i was just rear ended today. I was with 1 passenger, the driver gave us her ID and insurance and she was drunk, i didn’t call the police the damage was minimal , but we had neck pain and back pain since. I have no insurance. We live in the state of Missouri. How should i pursue this case ?
Good morning, well, you an either call her insurance and file a claim on your own or you can hire an attorney who can do it for you. I'm a little concerned that you did not call the police in this situation. Do you know if she gave you real info? Barry
@@LawFull Yes i have pictures of her ID and insurance and they totally match plus make of car matches insurance as well. I didn’t call police because i have no insurance didn’t want to be cited for have no insurance. I did want the drunk driver off the road though, hope she didn’t hit anyone else.
Okay, then you can go ahead and call her insurance and file a claim for the damage to your vehicle.
@@LawFull What about bodily damage ?
@@rahmanmohamed7364 Hi, you mean you were injured in the accident? If yes, then you should probably get an attorney. If you tell me what major city you are near in MO I can see if I know someone.
I was rear ended 2 days ago, I was nearly stopped, going through a turn... he hit me, going 45 (10 over the limit). Initial diagnosis is just a concussion and strained neck. I was working, delivering pizza.
Other driver was uninsured, had no license, and didn't own the car.
I have full coverage but no rental coverage so im out of work until this is settled and I get a car.
The first officer on site actually caught the accident on his dash cam from about 3 blocks away, driving opposite direction as me. He said night of the accident before he filed the report that he's writing a lot of citations, at least 5 off top of his head.
Is it worth suing? My full coverage is only $30k, and equal trade in value for my car gets me a car that's far less valuable than the car I had due to inflation and used car prices. I'm concerned I won't get a fair value from my insurance... if I don't, I'd like to know what options there are for me to get fair financial compensation.
Hi, first, you're dealing with your own insurance so you won't be 'suing' per se. If you don't get adequate value for your vehicle in your eyes, you would need to appeal that decision - check the terms of your policy asap as they will dictate how you do that. But don't delay. As far as needing an attorney, depends how severe your concussion is. If you still have side effects and need more treatment, then to get full value from your case I would talk to an attorney.....
Hi I was rear ended at a red light the at fault drivers insurance company offered me only $835.00 for my loss wages and minor whiplash and they would fix my vehicle and get me a rental I declined, so they offered $1,135 I told her I deserve at least $4000 they said absolutely not of course so I told them I would seek legal consultation . Is my case worth getting a lawyer? I really dont want to drag it out and I don't have the time or energy I just want a fair personal Injury settlement before Christmas. Your response is greatly appreciated
Its a tough spot. Im not sure you can get much more without a lawyer but how much more is it really worth? And, if you get a lawyer you will pay attorneys fees....

I was in a hit and run on Halloween in 2020, I was rear ended and pushed into the car in front of me, and after a visit to ER I was told I had a mild compression fracture, whiplash, and shoulder bruising. The downside is both parties left the scene. I’ve secured a lawyer, but after a year I haven’t gotten many updates outside of them filing suit against my own insurance company. The car I bought in September the year prior was technically totaled, but my insurance company wouldn’t total it because they valued it for more than I paid, and as a result of those injuries I lost my job because of trips to PT and being unable to perform necessary functions on the job. At this point I don’t know what to expect. Is there any advice you can offer to someone in my position?
I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. Sounds like you should go back to your attorney for more info. Since you're represented by an attorney I'm a bit hesitant to say more than that. Just don't let them off the hook. Explain that you're feeling very uneasy and you really need them to provide you some answers...
Hello! I am active duty military and got ear ended last night. I only have liability insurance and my car is pretty much totaled. The guy who hit me is an undocumented immigrant. How do I go about this because obviously he doesn’t have insurance? I went to the ER last night and the entire left side of my body hurts.
Hi Justinne. I don't have good news for you. If he has no insurance and you have liab only, you're going to pay for your damages out of pocket. Your meds will be taken care of through the military I would assume. But there's no good answer. Normally I'd say sue the guy in small claims court but he doesnt have insurance or any assets most likely. Sorry you're dealing with this.
I was recently in a car accident I was rearended by a drunk driver my car was totaled I was diagnosed with sprain of cervical spine, sprain of the thoracic , and sprain of Lumbar would that be considered 3 injuries or just 1 back injury?
Every injury has it's own ICD Code. If you look at your medical records they will be there. Each is its own injury. However, that's not to say that just because you have "three" ICD codes and three injuries you can triple the amount you expect to recover. However, it is important to point out all your injuries for sure.
@@LawFull they gave me 4 codes S13.4xxA, S23.3xxA,S39.012A,S14.109A

If rear ended and pushed violently into another vehicle. How do One obtain highway footage for the state of Virginia if representing their self and the police report shows at fault and the car in the back barely moving? I know it’s a tough question.

Hi, not sure how to get a VA traffic camera. I would research the Virginia Department of Transportation. I'm in Chicago and don't know anything about VA law. As far as fault, I would focus on if you have any damage in the rear of your vehicle as evidence you were pushed into the car in front of you.

Hi Barry. I live in California and was recently rear ended. My car was totaled in the accident. Thankfully, I was not injured. I suspect the driver was texting. No lost wages. Do I have a case? My 13 year old car was in very good condition, maintained properly, had low miles - 65,000, the engine was rebuilt at 51,000 so the car had a lot of life left in it.
Good morning, if you were not injured and didnt require medical treatment then there is no case for pain and suffering etc. All there is is a property damage. Is that what you meant?
@@LawFull Yes. My 13 year old car, that had a lot of life left to it, was taken away from me by a negligent driver who I believe was texting at the time of collision.

I got rear ended pretty bad the other day with my family all being in the car ( wife, our two kids and my kid brother) the guy who hit us didn’t have insurance and my insurance told me they won’t cover medical payments and I have full coverage. Should I lawyer up?
Did you guys suffer injuries? If so, then I would at least talk to a local attorney about what you can do.....
@@LawFull that’s the tricky part, I have a history of back issues and just recently got epidural injections 2 weeks ago and now days after the crash I’m feeling pain again

Hello I have a question I seen your videos and see that your are great help and respect what you are doing by helping the community! But my question is me and my 3 kid’s got rear ended last week. My daughter (1) passed out. But we got her to wake up finally after 1 minute. Me and my older son is having body/back pain and my is hurting as well. What do I do?
Hi Louise, you would normally start by filing claims with the ins co for the person who hit you and your own ins as well if you want. You could also consult with a local attorney as they might be a better resource for you. What city/state did this occur in? Barry
Hi, I was hit from the rear by a speeding ambulance on the freeway, and suffer from head concussion, back pain and neck pain. But I want to know if I’ve a case since it was an ambulance. I was in the right lane on the freeway of a 3-4 lanes highway. Was slowing down to pull over when I got hit from behind.
Hi, you may still have a case even though its an ambulance. I would have to know a lot more about the facts of the accident. What city/state did this take place in? I may know someone who can help you. Barry
@@LawFull it happen in Aurora, CO around 6pm so it was dark. The ambulance that hit me took me to the near by hospital so I wasn’t on the scene of the accident when the police arrive and I believe the ambulance probably return to the scene after they drop me off to the hospital.

I rear ended a car at a stop sign 🛑 going like 5mph the road was snowy and slick so the suv just drifted but it was just a fender bender. It was a rental car and I wasn’t the one that rented it my relative did so his insurance is trying to go after my insurance is that okay?
Hi, it just all depends on what the insurance policies say. They'll say what coverage is provided and who is responsible......
Hi. I was rear ended recently. Do I file a claim for with the at fault drivers insurance directly? I called my own insurance and that's what they told me to do. Or does my own insurance file the claim against their own insurance? I am still waiting for a police report. I didn't get the drivers insurance information yet.
File with both companies.
Hi! I was rear ended yesterday and I have no idea how I will recover for all the damages (yes I have insurance) but .. like do I really have to Pay a deductible and stuff even when it wasn’t my fault?!? How can I recover that money
Good morning, you can file a claim with the ins co for the person who hit you if you don't want to go through your own ins.
How does one know how much insurance is available and how much my case is worth? I’ve hired an attorney since I began going to PT and I was told I have a double herniation in my lower back and one of my left shoulder. I was hit twice, on the driver side and the rear
Hi since you have an attorney I would ask them what the law is about that in your state. But you obviously have serious injuries. In my state of IL if we do a couple of things we can obtain the insurance amount....
@@LawFull wow that was a fast response! Thank you so much! You have my Sub!

Thank you for the info. Today my car was totaled by a tow truck. Traffic was stopped on a on 55 mph road. My insurance is overlapped and I don't know what the next step is.
Morning. What do you mean the ins is overlapped?
I was rear ended $5000 worth damage. I was hoping the damage cost was higher, since I didn't want to keep a vehicle with accident report in it's history. Is there anything I can do with insurance company to meet in the middle maybe?
Not much you can do that I can think of. The damage is what the damage is. If they didn't total the car, they're going to repair it....
@@LawFull I didn't think so either but wanted to make sure

Hey boss man I have a question about it bc the guy the hit me it was a companys car and they have full coverage insurance worth 2M. So the story goes like this i was driving down normally going 45 to 50 mhp right so I had a 2003 Yukon XL so he hit me on my side causing me to go to the right my tuck turned off and the wheel got locked when i tried turning the truck back on I tried to turned the truck the opposite side facing back to normal but it was to fast and it caused me to flip on the side of the palm tree 🌴 smashed my hole roof to my tuck and smashed my rear end and it's been 5-30-2020 since that day
Hi Gabrielle, what's your question?

Hi, whats going on?
Hey I just got hit at a red light but i didn't call the police but i have her name license and know where her house is but she's not answering my calls now. What should I do?
Should I get a attorney for this we have really bad whip lash I got a cut on my head and a concussion he was at fault all the way we were on the second lane two the exit and at the end of the collision we ended up I. The carpool lane facing opposite way of the freeway. Me and my girlfriend are only 20 and 21 I just got this truck 3 days ago and he totaled it as well as put us in the hospital! Should I get a attorney for this?
I'm biased as an attorney - I think you should in fact get a lawyer. If you want to tell me what city and state you're in I'll see if I know anyone I can refer you to. Your odds of recovering more than a nominal amount are greater if you have an attorney in general. But again, I'm biased.... Barry
Definitely hire a lawyer, and see a neurologist who specializes in sports injuries to help you with your concussion. That is an injury that could be permanent.
Today---Weather conditions GREAT. Since the light at the intersection JUST TURNED GREEN for approaching traffic, the approaching lead car is approaching the intersection with the JUST TURNED GREEN light, going about 15 miles an hour. This is a well traveled intersection. Not rush hour, its only 3:15 pm in the afternoon. I am about 3 car lengths behind the lead car. At the pedestrian crosswalk/the delimiting line, the lead car ABRUPTLY slams on his brakes and stops. I take evasive action by slamming on my brakes. Unfortunately, my car taps the bumper of the lead car and now there is a fender bender. I'm mad!!!!, but remain calm. We both pull over. I asked him what was he thinking? the light was just green???? He admitted that he did not want to go through the green light and possibly get caught in the intersection. He admitted stopping abruptly at a GREEN LIGHT!! I live in CALIFORNIA. I am not at fault, as I had the proper following length AND the light had just turned green. There was no reason for the driver of the lead car to make a decision to cause a hazard, as he stopped for no cause other than he did not want to go into the intersection on a green light and possibly get caught in the intersection.... Oh brother!
Hi, sorry you're going through this. Sounds like you have a pretty good argument that you're not entirely at fault at least for the accident. Make the case to his or her insurance company and to your own company as well and see what happens.....
What about a passenger receiving a rotator cuff and impingement because of the seatbelt doing its job from a rearend collision. Now the doctor did recomend surgery I refused surgery because of a bad experience from a surgery from the 90's were I almost died.
Hello, if you're asking how much its worth, that would be very hard to determine. First, I'd hire an attorney. But if you're going to do it on your own, it depends on the amount of your medical bills, the severity of your injury and the impact etc like I say in the video. However, if you were advised to get surgery by a physician and you chose not to, it will be very difficult to obtain what the case theoretically could be worth.
Me and my son was rear ended yesterday the guy was texting he left changed cars came back provided false information I need help I just found out everything was

I was rear ended four months ago felt back pain immediately went to the hospital they said I had some strain muscle I just completed 8 weeks of physical therapy then I dropped out of treatment due to having to work to pay bills I now awaiting medical bills being collected I did a mri in Kat screen the other person was responsible smashed my trunk in do you know the reange my settlement could be I need answers
Good morning, it's very hard to say based on these facts. If you're representing yourself, prepare to be low balled by the insurance company. But from a 10k foot perspective, back sprains and strains are not worth that much just in general.

Hey
I am from Texas. I went to visit my aunt in Florida and someone hit me from the side and my rear door is all damaged. I called police and he said other party is at fault, he should have stop on stop sign. I claim his insurance and insurance adjuster is saying I am at 30% fault and other person at 70%. They were saying I should have stopped or honk. So, in this case how can I get 100 %?
Hi, that's a typical insurance company b.s. move to try and save some money. You can either draw the line - do it in writing and give them till etc etc to accept 100% or you will file suit. You can probably file suit in small claims court on your own depending on what the laws are there. Or you can use your own insurance to get the property damage fixed and let them go after the other insurance company for reimbursement.
I am currently living in the United Kingdom and on the 21st of may 2019, I was driving a company van on the M25 Motorway, heading towards Junction 4 and 5 headlining towards North Watford.

PS - I have noticed that the driver who caused the accident is refusing to give his last name on his insurance company documents.
That's weird. But to be honest, I don't know the first thing about UK law....
Apparently in Tennessee the way the law is set up is as long as you don't break anything they don't consider you to be in severe pain and suffering! I was here last Monday by truck doing 50 miles an hour and didn't even hit the brakes when it collided into the back of my car stopped at a light, I didn't break anything but I'm in so much pain now I'm about to commit myself to a mental institution due to the fact I wasn't given anything for pain! Suffering so bad right now I'm in tears that I can't get a doctor to even talk to me about anything for pain. This is all on top of the depression I'm suffering from losing my favorite car and being in so much pain I can't enjoy even the simplest pleasures of life! My life was hell before I got hit now it's hell + 2!
I just got a car 3 days ago, 18 years old, rear ended by a guy in his 40s with no insurance or license going 40mph, thank god my car is fine tho, minor paint damage and 3-4 minor cracks in the bumper, i just got some money from the guy and decided to get it fixed.
Sounds like this is going to work out for you. For so many people it doesn't when they get hit by an uninsured motorist....
Thanks for your help
I had a question on what I should do I got rear ended 2 days ago and the guy didn’t have insurance and the car also wasn’t his I didn’t have my phone on me or anything I could use to get any type of information the guy ended up leaving
Hi, well, sounds like your only option is going to be to file a claim with your own insurance - do you know if you have collision coverage?
what happen if i hit someone's back of the car and his car does not have any scratch or damaged?
Hi sorry for the delay responding. What has happened since you posted this? Did they file a claim with your insurance?
What if i was rear ended and person at fault had no insurance
Hi, then hopefully you have uninsured motorist coverage. If not, the only thing left to do is file a lawsuit. If the property damage is relatively small, you may be able to file in small claims court - depending on what the max amount is in your state.
Your screwed
Hi I have got in a car accident two days ago i was lane changing and I was half way in the lane already and somebody speed up and hit my car and my car when to the other side of the street this is my first car accident maybe I wasn’t moving fast enough I’m not sure if this was my fault or the other person
I'm sorry you are going through this... Did you have a specific question?
@@LawFull yes I was trying to see if this was my fault cause I seen somebody have the same accident as mine
@@queenjaydarealest5482 I see. It's really difficult for me to know who was at fault without a lot more information. Did the police come and file a report? What did the police report say regarding fault? That is the first place I would look. Then, your insurance company is going to interview all the parties involved and inspect the physical evidence. They will also make a determination of fault. So start there I would say. Barry
I seen it on when you should take partially Credit for the crash the last person you answer I have that’s same problem
@@queenjaydarealest5482 I see. So you're trying to figure out if you should accept partial fault for an accident. Listen, the best thing to do is to consult with a local attorney. Just Google 'personal injury attorney near me.' I'm sure there are a lot of local attorneys who might be able to help out with your situation.
I was involved in a rear-end collision as I was waiting at an intersection at a red light. I was not injured, but my vehicle was just declared a total loss. The driver's insurance is paying for near the remainder of what I owe to the bank on my car and repairs I had already done. Is there any other legal action I am entitled to pursue?
Not much. Possibly the loss of use of your vehicle depending on the insurance policy
My question is
My mom and i was rear ended at a stop light , the police came said the lady that rear ended you was ticketed for carless driving , it was her fault.
My mom was hurt
So the police called an abulance and took her to the hosoital
The hospital charged over $70,000 !

Dr. LawFull, Today I was waiting at the drive thru at KFC and then I was always looking car behind while waiting then I see the car coming crash my rear bumper scratches across bottom bumper and he said welling to pay repair for even though I still don’t trust so I call my insurance right always. Also nobody injured include me. Does good idea he said willing to pay for repair for me?
Morning, I personally wouldn't trust him/her to pay for the damages personally. I always would suggest asking for auto insurance info.
What happens if you’re involved in a tear end accident and there’s no damage or injury?? Thanks!
Hi, Well generally speaking there isn't anything to do then. But I would watch the video if you didn't already. But again I would say if there's no injuries in there is no damages there really isn't anything to do.
Theoretically what you would actually look at is what is called severity of impact. But yes essentially you're looking at the amount of property damage there is. However, it is been proven that there can be serious injuries even with minor property damage.
At least go to doctor and get checked out. My pain came days later.
Hi I agree 100% at least go to the doctor and get checked out. Right after an accident your adrenaline is rushing and you have no idea what could be wrong with you. Thank you for the comment.
Some hit the person behind me and they hit me in the rear.went home and now my lower back is killing me.what do I do now

How much money would a person end up with out of a 40,000 settlement? This is just a example . 25,000 insurance and 15, 000 for uninsured motorist which brings it to 40,000 dollars. Let’s say for example the lawyer fee is 33 percent this is just a example. How much does a person walk away with after being hit from the rear sitting at a red light . Let say the person did four months of physical therapy also . Again this is just a example. I would really appreciate it if you would be so kind and nice to take the time and answer this example. Thank you .
Hi, you would take the $40,000 subtract 15 or 12k or whatever for attorneys fees subtract the medical expenses that you have to reimburse to either your Physicians or your health insurance company subtract expenses to order the medical bills and records and whatever is left is what the victim would get
I got pictures and I still have the vehicle took videos and pictures barely any damage to him totaled my whole rear end and I just paid for it $33.00 paid saved a lot of checks so I feel like I couldn't do anything please help I don't want to be in debt for something I didn't do
Got rear-ended and the lady agreed to pay for the damages and is now not wanting to pay she had no insurance no driver's license what do I do
Did you file a claim with your own ins to see if you had coverage to cover the damage?
Hello I had an accident July 4th 2017 I hit another vehicle that cut me off then suddenly stopped in my lane
the accident happened on the expressway
I had insurance at the time full coverage insurance I provided the information to the driver and the damages were not extreme. Both vehicles were drivable and thankfully the driver and passenger were physically fine & had no injurys. Myself and the other driver waited for two hours till a state trooper arrived to write up an report. I was the one who contacted the police the driver asked that I call the police and I was not sure why he asked but I did anyways. the following day I reported the accident to my insurance company I provided them with photos, a statement and report # I was given by the officer . I then went to get an estimate for my car damages I went to the specific location they provided The cost was too expensive for me so I did not get my car repaired . My insurance company never contacted me nor did the other drivers insurance company.
so I assumed they handled it as they should have. A few months after the accident I had issues with my vehicle and was no longer driving it. I stopped paying my car insurance since I was no longer driving nor did I own a vehicle . Fast forward today I was served by a police officer with a summons and I am being sued for 50,000 + I still have all the photos of the damages and i even have a photo of the passenger who is a minor.
my question is can a person chose not to file a claim thru my insurance and then sue me instead . The driver filed the law suit on
April 24 2019 took them a year to serve me due to my address changes . Another question , because the complaint waited almost two years to file a lawsuit against me does that help my.case at all ?
Hi, as long as they file suit within the statute of limitations its fine and the amount of time they wait or failure to file with your insurance is irrelevant.

Hey i rear ended someone but there was no damage on his car at all. police was involved and all he said is you guys can just exchange information and thats all.
