I was in an automobile accident in November 2006 which I was not at fault.I was hit head on by a driver running a stop sign.The next day I went to the Emergency room for shoulder pain.It was believed that I had whiplash and the pain would go away.The pain did not go away and about 2 weeks later I went back to the ER for a followup and I had Xrays done.After the Xrays an MRI was scheduled and the radiologist found that I had swollen bone marrow in my shoulder from the accident and osteoarthritis had quickly set in.Besides pain and pressure of my shoulder feeling like it was going to fall off, everytime I moved it grinded and was popping.I was sent to a bone/joint specialist and they recommended to excercise it by lifting weights to ease the pain. I went back 6 weeks later (today) for a followup and the pain has stopped but the popping/grinding has not.I will have the arthritis for the rest of my life.The insurance company wants to settle and I dont know a monetary $ value to tell them.
First of all the osteoarthritis WAS from the accident and I have proof from the radiologist that it was caused from “tramatic injury” aka the accident. I am only 22 I had no previous injuries or problems out of my shoulder. I even asked if it could have set in that fast after an accident and the radiologist and the specialist both agreed that it could even at my age. I just wanted an idea of a fair amount to ask for given my condition. I am not out looking for a get rich quick scam or anything.

Can I force insurance company for a settlement in a car accident?
I was involved in a car accident 2 yrs ago. Both cars involved had minimum damage. I accepted liability. However, my insurance company and the other party couldn’t reach a settlement. The other party sues me for small claim court. The other claims $1500 medical bill and $1500 for missing work. The insurance company feels too much from the minimum damages of both cars. (It is well within my insurance coverage) Can I force a settlement between them instead of going to court? I am worried about showing up on my credit report. What right I have with my insurance company about the settlement?

Do I have to pay money from a settlement to my insurance company?
I had needed a piece of medical equipment implanted and have had it replaced several times due to defective equipment. I finally received a settlement from the company through a class action lawsuit. Now the lawyer is coming back and saying that the insurance company is wanting a significant amount of that settlement. Can or should i fight this? It isn’t like I didn’t need the care, shouldn’t the insurance company be going after the medical equipment manufacturer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated I don’t have much time to make a decision.

When a company loses a case, is that amount pre-tax or post-tax?
I was reading about HP’s $14.5 million settlement today and it got me curious.
When a company loses a case or settles, is this money coming from pre-tax revenue (and hence, would be a tax deductible cost)? Or is it coming from post-tax profit?
Do any of the following factors affect the answer?
- It’s a settlement vs loss/guilty?
- Paid to the government (as a fine) vs paid to another company/individual?
- Punitive damages vs compensatory damages.
A related question I have is, for example, whether a traffic ticket given to a driver working for a company at the time of the ticket is a “cost” that can be written off by the company?
If I was in an auto accident and hurt my knee, will the insurance company find out it was pre-existing?
I injured my knee 4 years ago in a skiing incident and although it was mostly recovered, I had pain from time to time. Surgery was recommened at the time of the skiing incident but I declined since it seemed to be doing o.k. Now, I’ve been in an auto accident last month and have been told that my knee will only get better with surgery. I haven’t told my personal injury lawyer or the doctor performing the surgery of the previous knee injury. Will the insurance company paying the settlement be able to find out about it? If so, how will they find out? I’ve never authorized the third party insurance company to get my medical records.
