Man, sorry to hear about your accident. Last year I was hit head on by a drunk driver who thought he could make a left turn in front of me. I was bruised from my collar bone to my sternum and all the way across my lap. My sternum still bothers me when I do bench presses or dips and my left arm is still scarred from where the steering wheel trim dug into it when the airbag deployed.

you're shit out of luck in that sense, im surprised the towing company didnt steal everything you had already. hopefully everything works out with that one.

What I learned from my accident is that if I am ever involved in another one, they are towing the mangled body back to MY house!

I got so pissed when the towing company wouldn't let me pull my sub and amp after the adjuster came, even though the sub and amp were ruined. I came real close to breaking into my own car but my attorney advised against doing it because of the trespassing aspect. Because of that, my insurance company cut me a check for $500 after I told them that they were the proud owners of a Memphis PR 10" sub and PR amp! I came out ahead in that aspect because I only paid $300 for the sub and amp on prior year closeout from the local Memphis dealer (lol).

well i have an up date. i went to the back Dr yesterday and i should heel up just fine as far as my back goes. I felt some pain around my hip on my right side were i was feeling some pain in my back and after some exrays i found out there not much showing but i have to go to threapy for my back hip and my right leg. Im kinda cunfused cuz i had to have some paper work filled out and the Dr said it gona take some time and cuz of the work i do she dont see me going back soon. so she put 12.05.08 for a return date. she said that might not be the day u go back it could be befor or after it all depends on how I feel.im out of a car and i dont have a lot money nor does my family . See the thing is she never really said hey this is whats wrong . I left a message for my laywer and i told i have to be out of work etc. I found out later on some forms that my mom gave to my job the Dr put down Lz transverse frature .She wrote that for a question she had to answer about why im gona be out of work . now my question most of the time for a case u need some kind of injury to get anything other then your normal check for you car/truck. should i tell my lawyer that i found that on the paper and do u guys think that will hold up cuz my back is killing me and i have to take my perks to just get by?

I am glad you have a lawyer. You have been injured and suffered trauma...in insurance parlance that is worth $$$. Ask your lawyer lots of questions and write them down, as well as the answers, in a notebook. Do not be afraid of having the notebook out and making notations when talking to him or anyone else involved...doctors, etc...Make sure you write down the date and time of the conversation as well as if in person, over the phone, etc.

This case could take 3 years to close. That was how long mine took. I had a crushed L1 vertebrae as well as nerve damage and soft tissue damage. All said and done I got a check for $25K...lawyer took 1/3 plus expenses...your storage fee is an expense...and the cost of the medical expenses.

Take care of yourself, answer no questions to anyone, especially how you are feeling...you always feel lousy, unless your lawyer tells you to and refer all questions to him...that is what he is getting 1/3 of your money for so don't hesitate to use him, after all you are paying him.

I live in NY too and have coverage for injuries incurred in an accident resulting in loss of work. Check your policy carefully...even give a copy to your lawyer...you never know.

Take care of yourself...you can always buy a car and earn money but a f'ed up body is a lifetime of pain.

thanks man. im just nervous that the dr really did not go over the injury she said it gona get better over time and i gota rest and do some therapy for my lower body. do u think i still could see some monies out of this? cuz i just dont know what to really say to the lawyer about the findings. Oh yea the lawyer paid 320 to get the car out of the holding lot and he said that can be taking care of at the end. i dont wana sound stupid but im at home with all this crap going threw my head and for me to miss work and i get nothing its so stupid. im gona have to take a bus to go to the therapy. and im waiting on geting some money for the time i have missed from work and gona. oh yea the other guy gona be found alittle more at fault that what the police wrote it up as..

good idea, i cant believe the impound didnt call the cops on me, they said i couldnt remove any audio because its was a fire hazard, so when i was in my trunk i grabbed my alpine amp and ripped it out with my hands (only had 2 screws holding it down) jumped in my car and the guy tried blocking me by standing in front of my car but i cut around him and tore outta there, they stole my grant gt wood wheel and all my door speakers and wiring, i wasnt using a head unit thank god or those ****s would have that too, i had my phone wired up to my amp for music.
