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.

How much is my Personal injury settlement worth?
I got rear-ended at a light.I had a PI attorney since day 1. I went to the chiropractor 3 times a week for 4 months. (also went to MRI, Orthopedist etc..) On the final report it says I have 5-6 % permanent damages. Also says i got bulged disks in the neck.
Just myy medical bills total about $12000.00 and the insurance made an offer of $8000.00
Should i take it or got to court?
Anyone had similar experience or any lawyer??
Oh and i Forgot. Im in Florida which is a no-fault state, so my own insurance company is paying for 80% of all Medical bills UP to $10.000 so there is about $3200-3500 that remains unpaid. So i have to deduct that from $8000.00 plus attorney’s fees which are 33.3%
So there is about $1850.00 left

How much settlement money for car accident?
I was involved in a car accident approximately one year ago. The other driver was found to be at fault. I had approximately $10,000 worth of medical bills. What is a reasonable settlement amount I should ask of her insurance company?
Addendum: It was a low back injury and neck sprain. I had physical therapy for one year (as much as my insurance would pay). I am 27. My back is doing better, but still hurts after certian activities, but I am told that I could have exacerbations for quite awhile. I am a self-employed medical transcriptionist so it is hard to prove my missed work.
How much should I set aside for taxes on my legal settlement?
I recently was awarded a legal settlement of $55,000. The party paying the money is planning to pay it out on a 1099, labeled as “emotional distress” damages. I don’t know much about this, except that it will ultimately reduce the amount of taxes that are taken out. The problem is that because they are handing me a lump sum check with the 1099, they are not taking the taxes out in advance. Does anyone know how much of this I should set aside for my taxes next year?
How much money will be taxable from a divorce settlement?
Last year, my ex-wife and I agreed on the settlement of our house after our divorce, which is 50/50. She and I agreed not to sell the house (unless she buys me out right before then) until my last child turns eighteen, which will be in 11 years. I was given $25,000 last year upfront from my ex-wife as part of the settlement agreement from the house. I am currently on SSDI too. Don’t know if that will be affected too.
What I am really trying to say is how much (approximately) do I have to pay in taxes for the $25,000 I received from my ex? Being on disablility, how will that affect me too.
