#4193 of 4418 Just curious by marsha7 Jan 09, 2009 (9:03 am)
Did you seek treatment because you were injured, or did you seek treatment simply becauise osmeone said there was money in it???   2. "...a lawyer that the other guy had hired contacted me..." how does the other hire a lawyer for you???...unless I am misreading your post (and I often misread as the functional illiterate that I am), something sounds fishy to me...   Maybe you might explain a little better (or maybe I need to learn to read better)...

Replying to: horpscorp (Jan 09, 2009 7:07 am) It's going to be hard for anyone to give answer your questions since you failed to mention if there was any damage done to your Sentra. Also did you inform YOUR insurance company about the accident? They should be the ones fighting for you not someone else's lawyer.   Not sure what you are looking to get out of this. Right now I think you'll only get whatever it takes to fix your Sentra and the doctor bills. Not sure what else you are expecting????

Replying to: marsha7 (Jan 09, 2009 9:03 am) i'm assuming the lawyer in question is the ambulance chaser who is also representing driver #2 (the one who first hit the trailer with no lights).

Replying to: marsha7 (Jan 09, 2009 9:03 am) "the trailer was hit by another driver about 30 seconds to a minute before i hit the rest of the trailer. "   I read the lawyer who contacted our poster also represents the "another driver" mentioned above.

Not to mention going to the ambulance chaser's doctor...   You do know he sent you there because they're likely to bill the highest amount for care and make your injury appear in ever so litigation friendly terms, right? Jeebus, wonder why our insurance rates keep going up... get you car fixed, and any LEGITIMATE injuries attended to, and move on.... Replies to this message: mikefm58 (Jan 09, 2009 6:24 pm)

Replying to: bismarck (Jan 09, 2009 2:41 pm) Jeebus, wonder why our insurance rates keep going up... get you car fixed, and any LEGITIMATE injuries attended to, and move on....   THANK YOU! Hearing cases like this makes me want to puke! Great, an ambulance chasing lawyer finds someone who "might" be hurt and turns it in to a big payout.   Going slightly off topic here, I read an interesting article the other day that some hospitals and medical providers are moving to a different approach with malpractice cases. Instead of the "Defend and Deny" approach that turns every potential plantiff in to an angry plaintiff who will then hire these ambulance chasers, they're taking the apologetic approach. Simply admitting fault, apologizing, and offering a fair settlement. The places that have switched to this have seen significant savings.

Ok, ive never been involved in anything like this before, never dealt with a lawyer etc...   my sentra was totaled, i dealt with it through my company (progressive) who gave me blue book value for the car, i was able to get the deductible back since the police report said it was the other guys fault and he was covered.   The posted speed limit WAS 60. but there are some little shops etc along the highway i was on and the guy pulling the trailer was pulling out of one of these.   when the lawyer contacted me, i was under the impression that she worked for the other insurance company and that they needed me to be examined so i didnt come back and sue them later or something. i found out later that this wasnt the case, but the dr i saw said i needed therapy (my back WAS sore in a couple of places)   im sorry if you guys think im some scumbag trying to scam the insurance company or something, but honestly i just didnt know what was going on. Who am i to argue with a dr? my back hurt and he said i needed therapy.   im not an expert on the subject like some of you people, thats why im in here asking.

Replying to: horpscorp (Jan 09, 2009 6:34 pm) If your back "really" hurts, why not see YOUR doctor instead of some attorney's buddy? Why in the name of the Lord would you see a strange doctor?

Replying to: horpscorp (Jan 09, 2009 6:34 pm) I think the advice to see your own doctor and get an opinion is pretty good.   I can see where everyone is coming from but I don't get that that is what you were intending. Just make sure that you got covered for your damage (you already did on the car) and move on.
