I can’t thank you enough for the videos that you have put out! I’ve learned more from you than my own lawyer. I wish I would have know about you a lot sooner. I would have brought you out to LA to be my representative!⚖️
@@AttorneyArkady do you know what the average settlement is for someone who has gone under multiple Radio-Frequency Ablations after auto-accident where other person was found 100% at fault? This happened to me, my back still isn't the same. I have issues in my Lumbar and they do these ablations every 6 months.
Always explains everything exactly what you go through in a spinal injury case. Been through it all and still am. Even after a full blown disk replacement, it's not over. Had to get a radio frequency ablation procedure done months after to deal with facet joint pain..never ends.. that's where future medical comes into play. Life care plan etc..awesome video !!
I am scheduled for a RFA next month and thY gacet joint pain hurts sooo bad.I have been combining about that for over a year now got the si injections did not help at all.Hope you get better soon.
Hello Mr. Frekhtman, I'm in New Jersey I was hit by a driver that ran a red light and T-Boned me on my passenger side and my car flipped over the car was totaled I had to break the window to crawl out. I suffered three herniated discs one cervical & two Lumbar, pain in right wrist, Anxiety/PTSD, Neck pain, and Occasional headaches. So far I had three MRI's one for cervical and one lumbar and one for my right wrist which revealed I have a Interstitial tear and received a cortizone shot. I got a epidural Injection for my back for the herniated discs. I was being treated by a chiropractor three times a week, seeing a phycologist once every week, and doing acupuncture as well and I was doing all that for six months. I already finished all my treatments I already have a lawyer and we are about to finish the process of the lawsuit but he said the policy limit is 100k and said I can't go above that for my settlement unless I go to trial but he said my case isn't really suitable for it. My question is I truly feel like I deserve more for what I've been through and all the process I've done so I just want a second opinion I would truly appreciate it. Thank you.
I had a severe back injury resulting in 4 fused vertebrae, L3 L4 L5 & S1 with 2 titanium rods with 2 bridges and six or eight screws. My back was cut and then I was cut on the front of my torso so they could work on my back from the inside too. My lawyer said he'd word harder for me......result $37,000. That's it! Workman's compensation over paid me, through no fault of my own, and took that out of my settlement. I wish like hell I had known about you. I'm still in pain today and live on pain meds. I hate getting screwed like this........
I don’t understand,I got hurt on the job. Really messed up big time with a lifetime injury. It has been 30 years. I had spinal fusion diseconomy laminectomy plates screws the works. I ended with failed spinal surgery! RCPS at the time was called RSD my quality of life is not good. I am completely disabled. I was told at the time there was no settlement for a back injury so all I got was lifetime medical. But even with that I have to this day fight for. You would not believe what I have been thru. I even at one time had a morphine pump installed. That came close to taking my life. I was in my early 30 ‘s it not only effected me but also my family. I am very fortunate that I have a husband that dearly loves me. It is heartbreaking that he has gone thru so much due to my injury.I have had block after block and each time things went wrong. I had the sympathectomy injections, and one went through my kidney ,so I ended up having hey surgical sympathectomy that was a nightmare and did not help the pain. So now I see a pain specialist every three months and live on medication’s. I wish I could of gotten a settlement to help my family.
Hello Mr. Frekhtman, I was a client of your law firm back in 2017, and I must say you guys did the impossible. Thank you for that. I have a question regarding policies and settlement rewards. Can the value of a settlement ever exceed the amount of the insurance? For example, if a car hits someone and the policyholder's insurance coverage is only up to $600,000, but the injury costs are far more than what the insurance covers, is it possible to only stay within the policyholder's insurance amount, or can you seek more money?
Good morning, I am disabled and my husband who takes care of me was rear ended by another driver who was totally at fault. He's has gone through most of the things you described. The person that hit him did not have insurance. I am glad that we had a rider for uninsured/under insurance as well as income replacement. He was in his late 50's and I in my early 50's. He has been unable to work and care for me too. Do I have a remedy of pain and sufferings. He hired a lawyer but when I brought this up his attention and he was like you just would have to share in your husband's lawsuit. Thoughts?
I would recommend that your lawyer consider filing a lawsuit for your husband and including a loss of consortium claim for yourself as his wife. Your claim will include all harms & losses suffered by the marriage including the loss you sustained by losing your caretaker. Which city is this in ? Feel free to text me (347) 566-9595 Happy to discuss
Awsome explanation as always. I always wondered on something. Lets say in NYC, a cyclist suffers injuries to the eyes, meniscus tears on both knees, herniated disc and bulges, Anxiety and Emotional distress. The cyclist received 2 epidural injections to the back. Would this be considered into going for higher amounts without surgery? Even if the doctor recommended a surgical procedure as a last option.
How about the medical facility? I have a herniated disc ( got injection in may) been out of work since October 22. I was sent to a medical facility my work uses, where they did no X-ray, no mri, nothing but feel me for about ten minutes and sent me to Pt three times. They then cleared me to go back to work. I started having even more pain and I went to a doctor myself, where they did the X-ray and mri and stated I have a moderate herniation in my disc causing the pain and numbness. I’m in workers comp now, but can I go after the medical facility for what I feel is clearly malpractice? Especially with someone coming in with reporting a neck injury? I’m located in new York!
I'm a truck that was involved in a fatal accident. I was sitting in traffic on I-65 when I was struck from behind by a guy driving a super duty truck hauling an excavator. The driver that struck me from behind died on the scene I was not at fault because I wasn't moving due to road construction. It was later determined that his breaks failed. My question is I have had 2 spinal steroid injections and I'm having surgery next month the fusion surgery that you mentioned in the video, what is my case worth?
That can be worth multi millions. It’s important to find out all the defendants - trucking company, brokers , shippers etc. and all the policies there can be umbrella they won’t disclose without a fight. Happy to chat (347)566-9595 text me
I received the empudural injection and after 4 days the pain happened again and after 2 weeks i got a Interlaminar decompression and disectomy surgery and the insurance were trying to offer 75000$ and my lawyer ended up sueing them for 1.5 million but im waiting for deposition and mediation dates and im only 22 dealing with this permanent injury
I hurt my back at work and went to the hospital and within two hours I was in emergency surgery. I now have caudal equine syndrome. I had a laminectomy with a L4-L5 fusion surgery. What would my case be worth, oh yeah I can’t walk unless with the assistance of a walker now too due to weakness in rat leg. Thanks
Depends on the liability in the case. How it happened. Who you are suing. Is this workers comp or a third party action ? The injuries are very serious and life changing
@@AttorneyArkady This is a work comp case and I was digging out a drain pipe by hand on my knees , I lifted a heavy rock. I went to twist it the right to set the rock down and it felt like I grabbed a underground power wire the pain shot down my right leg, I lost the ability to walk or urinate.
California.... premises liabilty case, $446K in meds of which 130k paid by insurance . Spinal fusion w/hardware... four dedendants pointing fingers at each other over liabilty ... ballpark settlement ?
Should be a multi million settlement. Would need to review the liability & injuries. I don’t calculate settlements based on medical bills. Feel free to text me. Happy to do a free consult 347-566-9595
I had surgery Dr. didn't realize from mri that I had sever osteoporosis. When he put in screws it crumbled my vertebraes( he was doing laminectomy ) I had 2 more vertebraes break due to weight. So graft medium & bone fragments are laying in base of the spine. My 1 day surgery turned into 3mn & 8 mn of physical therapy. I now have cauda equina syndrome. I can not drive or every live normally again we have installed chair lifts to get to other floors of house. I was septic, had a microvascilar bleed. As I traveled to hospital, to rehabilitation hospital for spinal cord injury, to nursing home the surgeon never returned 1 call to facility that had question about care nor did he ever come see me or call! He abandoned me. The new neurosurgeon said I will never walk again. I am a 66 year old single women. What am I going to do? Your information was very helpful. What should I do? I'm in Ohio. Thank you
I just received an epidural injection (lumbar - L5) that had anthesia involved ….. aside from that I been going to psychial therapy , seeing a chiropractor , recieved MRI showing a “bulged disc” , recieving multiple lidocaine injections and been recieving medication since 09-25-2023 & most importantly the person that T boned me coming out of her driveway head first due to being on the phone is labeled at fault …. Just curious to know what the settlement may look like ? **** the accident occurred in Queens County NYC***
Do you have to go to court for a fusion if the policy is only 250k? I'm curious if they'll settle vs. going to court for more than the policy is worth.
@injuryjustice my policy is 250k for uninsured/underinsured State Farm. The other ladies policy is also State Farm, and we don't know what her policy is yet. Something about Delaware law being that medical bills must total 12k first to request it.
So what if you suffer different injuries like brain injury and a back injury and a sprain wrist so I would add them all together or separate it’s to confusing
So I did 6,500 for my brain injury post concussive syndrome and post traumatic headaches this is higher because my doctor said this is a permanent and progressive injury i did 1,500 for my back injury bulging disc 2 cm with radiculopathy I added 2,500 for my right wrist sprain I did 500 and I will ask them can they pay for my medical bills $10,500 I will ask for a slightly higher number to come out with this
@@Trolls584 Im not sure what #s you are referring to. Are those the medical bills ? The value of a TBI is not equal to medical bills. Feel free to text me and we can schedule a call. I think we may have spoken before. Happy to help you. All the best.
No this is not my medical bills this is what I want to ask for and I was going to ask them if they don’t mind paying for my medical bills and we can call it even just trying to be fair for both of us
I got orif nailling down humerus. Neuro surgery disection/exploratory , two slipped disks in llwer back l2 l3, and hit my head piece extremely hard. What kind of figures would you even be asking for , for this kind of damage in grocery store patking lot due to older pot hole? It is a big chain supermarket tia! Oh yeah i also have radial nerve palsey and may require more nerve surgery. The radial nerve was crushed. Oh yeah Im doing a ton of diff pt and seeing the best doctors in my state. Also now I have to see a psychiatrist sad😢
I was involved in a in a accident caused by an uninsured motorist. I have only $30,000 cap I can collect from. We are at the settling stage. I am about to go into a long debaucheries sets of surgery that I will not be able to take care of with any more liens now that I’m through PIP… My lawyer supposed to call today and how long does it take to get a check from them once they have all the paperwork they were sent it last week and we’ve been told John that
The settlement stage itself should be about 30 days to get the funds once you sign the release and closing documents. If there are liens it can take a little longer but sounds like you have a straightforward case. Good luck
Hi can we get in touch I have a similar situation. Been to physical therapy and now referred to get steroid shot. Due to this making my back condition worse. Uninsured motorist.
Was in a serious Uber accident while on vacation in Chicago. I now have 2 herniated discs, At L4-5, there is loss of disc signal and disc height. There is diffuse broad based disc protrusion eccentric to the left with a focal 4.5 mm left paramedian nuclear component impinging upon the dural sac with some caudal subligamentous extension but no sequestered component. At L5-S1, there is loss of dise signal and disc height with diffuse left paramedian disc herniation in the 5.5 mm range crowding the left neural foramen and displacing the left 1 nerve root significantly. Uber has $1 million policy. How much is my case worth?
It’s hard to say from a comment. Best to ask your lawyer of course. But I answered this in another comment you posted. It can be six figures or even one million if there is surgery
My attorney was negligence, I didn't receive anything like that, after surgery I was in a back brace of some kind for more than a year. That was twenty years ago and I have never been able to work since. None of this was ever told to me. I was under the influence of 30 oxycodone when I spoke to a attorney without my attorney in the room. I must have accepted whatever it was that he said. My attorney didn't even asked me about what happened in the room. He definitely didn't ask me anything. I have been receiving peanuts ever year since. I could have died on a number of occasions over the years. Now I have heart conditions because I can't exercise. This is messed up, I wish I never heard this message.
Yea that can have value if a doctor testified it was caused by your work accident. Very often that condition is degenerative which means from the normal aging process because essentially it just means one of the vertebrae (bones) in the spinal column shifted out of place.
@@AttorneyArkady thank you yes it was confirmed it happened at work I got 5 pounds lifting max no over head no sitting or standing 20 minutes at a time no ladders Electrician by trade aww 1893 a week
@@AttorneyArkady I’m in a tight situation cause I moved to another state and I want to visit my family so I need to close this soon but afraid the amount isn’t gonna to be worth it long term especially since surgery was approved for a fusion
Hi I’ve had 5 injections and have around 98000 medical bills. Policy limits is 1 million? I have around 70k lost wages. What do you think my settlement offer should be around ? Thank you
Yes I went though all that st Mary's was one of the hospital but at aberration they said I was at the hospital four days before the injury I had a concussion so I believe him I went espiscople any how I pulled the record and I was four days after not before and then came the pandemic 😢ouch
Had got hit by a AAA Truck whhile they were towing a customer in nyc.. I have back issues alot of physical therapy had a shoulder surgery (only Surgery ive Done drained fluid) offer hm is it worth?
Sorry to hear that. I think that can be worth $500k and up. We settled a shoulder surgery recently for $650k. Feel free to text me if you would like a personal free consult (347)566-9595
Well if the limits are high you get everything there is to get. If the defendant has low limits you can try UM / SUM against your own limits if you have higher limits. You can also see if they have excess umbrellla coverage beyond the primary limits. You can also try to set up a bad faith claim where you open the policy. And finally you can do asset searches to see if the defendant has a low policy but collectable assets in a judgment. So there are many options. It’s all on a case by case basis.
Yes. Workers comp is an administrative system. It pays lost wages and your medical bills. We don’t handle straight workers comp but we do the third party lawsuits.
Deff. Not accurate I’ve been recommended L-4 l-5 replacement s-1 fusion bone graph instrumentation. C-2 and c-5 c-6 replacement and 5-6 fusion. I’ve heard so many values literally none make sense simple question but no attorney can nor will give u a real answer Had 3 epidermal lower back Rfa. Low back And plasma transfer low back doing neck soon .and gonna try 1 more round lower back before I go the full scary surgery route that was my fault admitted bye company and it’s commercial vehicle. I was passenger in car.
The best value estimate will be from the handling attorney who is familiar with your case. We give examples of actual case results in New York. But value is not solely based on procedures had. Liability, the human losses, city / state, insurance, the defense lawyer, your lawyer all play a big role.
I'm confused so you saying it's limited so that means it don't payout much? It's been two years I've been outta work and they cut me off comp for a year then my new attorney had them to put it back on but long story short. I fail at work I was a truck driver I was 36 and now I'm 38 I just had my surgery on my l3-4 and l5-S1 fused cause they herniated and now I just had injections in my neck cause my C6-and C-7 are herniated as well I'm trying not to do this surgery but I'm always in pain to now I can't pick up my arm but attorney not giving me an accurate number so I'm just curious on how all this works and how much about it's worth? I couldn't do the person injury claim cause of my first attorney I don't he only filed a workers claim when I fail at the landfill so now Im just stuck with the workers comp claim. In so many words how much can a case like mine is worth? My number is 3374187927 my name is Raymond can u please call me or put me on game please
Its,been 6 months months can I send a demand letter are to quick. Done finish everything therapy and pain management, also is my case got a value on it commercial truck accident

Romans 6:23 Jesus Christ is the only way, seek Him while He may be found, before it’s too late, tomorrow is never promised.
i just have something against them, here’s why some of my relatives were driving back from the movies at about 5pm. they stopped at a red light and this lady came ramming through them and totaled their car. two girls 4 cars up said their necks hurt, and they went to the hospital even though they were much farther away from the general accident. the lady who rammed through didn’t have enough insurance money, so they sued my relatives when THEY were the ones who got hit from behind and shouldnt have been the ones who had to pay for all the damage, i think the system is messed up
Im not promoting a culture of any kind. I’m helping serious injury victims and families obtain justice. These are people who have life changing forever injuries. Perhaps the billion dollar insurance companies who are happy to take your hard earned $$$ in exchange for you being in good hands fail to actually offer any hand when you truly need it. That’s why the world needs trial lawyers to make them pay. I’m sorry the insurance industry’s lies and spin has convinced you the “sue culture” is the problem. Would you be open to the possibility that these billion dollar corporations don’t have your interest in mind and just want to make more $$$ ?
