Comment from : @LoraBaker-n4n

Hello My wife got in a minor car accident 8 months ago (small scratches in car); she was at fault Our insurance company (infinity aka kemper) called us saying the lady claimed she got injured of some pre-existing injures which got worse, now infinity/kemper wants us to sign a declaration as they settled 15K Is this normal process for us to sign a declaration ? please reply Thanks

I went back to work after a labrium tear on WC and got rear ended in company vehicle two days after I got cortisone shot I ended up going back out on WC again because I aggravated the existence injury Do I have a right to get settlement of 3rd party insurance company of the driver for lost time and pay? The driver was ticketed and I have photos
Comment from : @edward3342

So I got a letter from the person who hit my cars insurance stating that they accepted my demand for single person bodily injury liability the limit of 15k but my attorney called and said I have to wait now to see how much they are going to give me Any good advice I don’t understand why can’t I just take the 15k I hope my law firm doesn’t try taking most of it !

How does the 1 rule effect the settlement??? I got rear-ended by a tractor trailer in March, i suffered multiple injuries that I'm still trying to recover from broken vertebrae in back, 5 broken ribs, lacerated liver & spleen, severe whiplash concussion torn ligaments in both sides of my neck after effects numbness in feet & leg along with constant migraine headaches brLong story short my lawyer said they was all set to try and settle the claim but got dash cam video that claim I am 1 at fault & now have denied the claim My lawyer said they will not turn over the video footage on the dash cam and sent screenshots of accident My question is if they say i am 1 at fault how exactly does that effect the settlement? Thanks in advance

What if the at-fault person does not have money to pay for settlement or if they are sued and don't have the founds and money
Comment from :

I’m requiring surgery And the lop exceeded the limit so I’m pay out of pocket for my insurance does surgery increase the settlement
Comment from : @NobleMasterCheeks

What if it’s a truck accident not a car accident❤

I permanently lost smell and taste from a crime i was victim of and won the max insurance benefit of 250k I was on my ebike, he was in a car and went thru a stop sign leading to brain damage and fractured skull and bleeding of the brain I got the max but feel losing these senses is not worth it This is for Michigan
Comment from : @MarcusFryTheQualityGuy

My attorney & I settled for $35,000 and I think my lawyer is getting $11,000 My medical bill is gone to so did the attorney-fault insurance company pay for my medical bill and I don’t have to cover it? Or do did it come out my check before I get it? Is pain and suffering check different from the medical bill stuff?
Comment from : @lematation102

So I settled and signed for an amount already My attorney told me one medical bill was x amount of dollars well I talked to the provider and found out that my insurance is covering that and there is no bills regarding it how does that work now? Does that $ amount go back into my total payout?

Comment from : @Tainoboricuapuertoricansavage

Do i need to go to the hospital for my injuries, for me to be able to get compensation for a car accident that wasnt my fault?
Comment from : @warmongersCantBeTrusted

Comment from : @nickkig1063

What if my injury expenses are more than my policy limit?
Comment from : @ryanbarrett5359

Hey thanks for the vid first and foremost My question is though, do you ever have clients that have been fighting a claim for lets say over a year abd they start to get worried about how long itll take to get their life back do you ever tell them that youre close to settling the case even if you have no idea when itlll end? Cause thats what my case is rn and i just feel like my lawyers are giving me hope of settling my case this month but i dont think they have a clue Its been long year of back and shoulder surgery and im just tired of being stuck at my moms house not able to get a car work like i need to be able afford rent in LA My car was totaled over a year ago by a box truck and his insurance was unfortunately Geico and i just want your opinion on what "tendering 100k" means and how long you think a case like this would actually take to settle or if they'd just wanna take it to trial?
Comment from : @princedripion6472

I missed 3 months of work The car insurance adjuster is asking for health insurance information and short term disability information They say with out this they'll only offer the minimal amount Do i need to give them this?

Who do I sue if a driver that swerved into my lane and hit me, but won't claim fault because they blame the driver next to them veered into their lane first and nearly hit her(she claimed she WAS hit by the car but no evidence of damage) Those 2 drivers have the same insurance provider
Comment from : @salonnsavat2890

Can you ever get more than the policy limit? If so, how so?
Comment from : @GodAlwaysWins

If medical bills are more than the insurer's insurance policy limit, how does one recuperate that money? Also, how is pain and suffering or punitive damages claimed? If the driver at fault has 25/50/25 but my bills are more than 50k, how would you get more than 50k and get pain and suffering?
Comment from : @GodAlwaysWins

Very informative I've been denied 3 times (from lawyers) for a previous claim from 2020 I missed a zoom appointment the day after I had surgery (sedated under Oxycodone and other meds) and another zoom scheduled so I thought it was @ 1pm and it turns out it was at 10am Is it fair for the insurance company to deny my claim
Comment from : @TimothyHarris-dr2mh

also i just wanted to inquire, how long after signing settlement documents should the checks arrive?

Comment from : @ATG171

Hi there, thanks so much for this video! brbrI have a question I was T-boned by a distracted driver on 11/23/2022 and my car that is worth around $1,00000 based on KBB values contained over $4,50000 worth of damages based on picture estimates Based on the police report, I was not at fault Although I have done this before in previous accidents but now realized that it may not have been the best decision, I went straight to the other insurance myself and reported the accident rather than going through my insurance The other insurance has been cooperative but stated that they cannot get in contact with the person that hit me and notified me that they have to send 3 notices to them and wait 5 business days in between the notices before making a final "liability decision" They informed me that a final liability decision will be made on 12/21 and as of 12/16, they still have not been able to get in contact with the driver As far as next steps goes, should I wait for their stated "liability decision" on 12/21 or should I be prepared not to receive money and fight this another way? Also, is there a good way of knowing how much I may get since my car isn't worth much but damages were significant? brbrThanks so much for your advice and help!

Comment from : @traxx1023

Awesome information Very useful for the general public
Comment from : @personalinjuryshow

This might sound like a really dumb question but … the payouts for bodily injury is a separate check from the payout for car damages as well ? brbrMy car is totaled so the insurance would pay for that ??? Separate from my bodily injury ?

I got in a car accident back on 12-30-21 and I went to the chiropractor i I sent all my bills to the attorney in may but he won’t speak to me or pick up on my calls he just keeps saying I haven’t done all your records yet and this is not a sprint it’s a Marathon I don’t know if I should get a different attorney because he’s not communicated with me or I have to wait until he sends the demand and how much longer is that going to take? What should I do
Comment from : @ImVirgoBaby91

I have a question My 17 yo nephew was hit by a drunk driver oct 30 last month My nephew was in a coma for maybe 7 days before he opened his eyes Pretty bad traumatic brain injury Has been seizing, doesn’t follow eye commands Icu for 11 days Broken jaw broken clavicle He had his seat belt on The 39 yo drunk driver was arrested for intoxication 3 degree felony Never had to see a dr So my question is… What if he only had $50k on his insurance coverage? Can we try to get more from other assets if he has any?
Comment from : @cin3gon

What if the at fault party did not have insurance, but the driver of the vehicle had “uninsured motorist” can you still have a claim?

How much is coverage for uber passenger if the driver was at fault, my lawyer only got me 4k🙄after 6 weeks of therapy
Comment from : @blessingadepoju5174

Pip is unlimited, other driver cited at scene for running red light We are in michigan, another no fault state What coverage of mine as well as the other driver is what we are "suing"? I do have under/uninsured Does the money come from the other drivers liability only? I'm almost certain she doesn't have coverage Thanks

Comment from : @Doomer-hg2fi

How much wiggle room do we have in regard to a total loss for a vehicle Are they only obligated to pay for the current market value of the vehicle? They offered my a very low average
