If the insurance co. gives you too much crap, just find a hungry attorney and ask them to write them a letter... They live for this shit.

Keith,
Make sure you get thoroughly checked out by a qualified back specialist...not a chiropractor!! I highly suggest you get a MRI and X-rays also. Most back and neck problems show up weeks and sometimes months later after an incident occurs. If you don't have documentation the insurance attornys will try to say the injury happened at a latter date. Trust me on this...I have been thru the process before, always remember that the insurance company (both his and [i]yours[/i]) are out to screw you!! They are [b]not[/b] your friend! Sgtar15 |

Heh, you wouldn't be dealing with Allstate would you?
I got rear ended in my new Toyota truck this fall and while it didn't total it, they did not want to let go of their money. I had to pester them for weeks before I finally got a check to pay the body shop. |

Sgtar15 I was taken to the hospital as the impact knocked me out. From there until now I have been through 3 sets of radiological exams by both ortho's and neuros and am under the care of an ortho with physical therapy. Yes, there is a growing list of bills but I have insurance and pre-approvals for all but the ER/ambulance. I got a real she-wolf of an attorney on my side. She's yet to ask for money and acted on my best interest before the accident report was available. I haven't met her but she sounds potent! All I had to do is drop her name ojnce to the other party agent to get things moving. Fortunately the insurance companies are not Allstate. I've yet to claim anything on my policy. |

Getting the attorney is the best thing you could have done. I've had a hell of a time with an insurance company (Allstate) after a wreck and it took a quick call from my attorney to get a rental and it was already proven it was the other guys fault. Good thing my attorney is my sister [:)]
Remember, if you're in the Dallas area, our good friend Eric The Hun is a lawyer [:)] |

It would be a lonley drive down I45 for Eric the Hun. Amazing what the mention of this does to the adjuster. |

Keith,
I cannot stress enough how important it is that you continue the steps you are taking now. I was hit from the rear 5/10/01, this impact made my trunk disappear, and blew out the rear window, the drivers seat broke and I ended up in a reclined position. I now have a buldged disc C6/7 and was experiencing random numbness in my arm and hand. It appears that the aggressive physical therapy is working though, hopefully no surgery in the future. Enough of that, sign nothing, and agree to nothing that doesn't go through your lawyer. Be realistic but FIRM when settling for your car, and take your time on settling for your injury, oonce you settle you cannot go back for more. And good luck with your injuries, hopefully you are still able to work. Take care of yourself, Dave |
