This is a great point. When I was injured on the job I wasn’t taken seriously until I had an X-Ray and then an MRI done on my back showing the injury to my disc and spine.
Me too. I have two bulging disc s1-s4 area. My demand package was sent out 35 days ago and I have not heard anything back from them. Where are you with your claim ?
OF COURSE HAVING PROOF IS BETTER THAN HAVING NONE! I had a MRI in the ER...the crooked Dr said I had no injury.....then i had a CT scan and it showed the injury! I would recommend a CT scan....to my understanding a CT scan is better. i would also reccomend getting a great Doctor. Seems workmans comp is also paying some Doctors to lie!
First thing, if you go ahead and do the MRI by yourself you're gonna have to pay for it. Secondly you need to change your attorney because he's not fighting for you.
My x ray in the hospital came to nothing. I have to go to a concentra clinic. Injuried yesterday when a back hit me in the head, from above, my neck hurts.
Been trying to get a MRI with the neurology i think that the defensive attorney is having something to do with they are keeping it from getting it done..I have several MRI done and the doctors are agree that i have neck and back shoulder injury's
I found it strange that the insurance company was prolonging my MRI referral requested by their own workers comp doctors they sent me to. Then when it was time for my deposition they tried to settle that same day🤔 I refused the settlement and waited for the MRI to be approved. Found out I had a 10.0 mm bulging disc pressing on the S1 nerve root with severe bilateral neural foraminal stenosis resulting in severe central stenosis and compression of the S1 nerve root all from bending forward over a table drawing lab specimens in a poor ergonomic lab setting for 6 years. Tried telling my employer about concerns but nothing was done and this was the result of their negligence. what happens after they gave confirmed these types of injuries and how long before returning to work? In my case I cannot return doing the same job as everything triggers my pain, too much sitting causes numbness down me leg, and to buch bending, or upand down motion triggers sharp pain across my lower back..
I've been diagnosed 80% permanently disabled as of my 3rd surgery in 2010. My last MRI indicated that I need to have 4th surgery done by a team of surgeons with high risk of paralysis . WC has denied me this and all my medicine and injections for over 5 years but yet approve me to see pain Mgmt doctors who get paid every 4 weeks . Now what ?
That is one of the problems I have, nothing on MRI except bulging disc, but they all say someone my age often has asymptomatic bulging discs, nothing on xray, nothing on CT, but every morning since Oct, I am woke early and cant stay in bed, its nearly march now... if I have a facet ligament injury can it be diagnosed? So frustrating not having anything to show for the pain I have...
I was in an accident where my entire right side was impacted when the car T-boned in to us. The other car was totaled and the other driver accepted he was at fault. I had to go through a knee surgery and physiotherapy for my knee and right side of the neck and shoulder. After two years of physical therapy and surgery, my physiotherapist say that it’s a chronic pain and have put me though pain management program. I am yet to settle my claim, have until March 15th. What would be your advise? I am based out of california.
Thanks for the videos. Its very informative. So i was involved in a slip and fall. Sprained Wrist and Lumbar strain. MRI found nothing but I feel back pain and numbness on my calf. The doctor told me to do PT. PT seems to flare up my back. How is this calculated and I m worried it might come back in the future if I settle now. What do you think I should do? Have you ever had a case this? Thanks in Advance!
I would recommend knowing the full extent of your injuries before you settle your claim. You will want to know how long you have before the statute of limitations runs in your state. Some states have a 1 year, others 2 year, or different statutes. If you have time, you can try to find a doctor who has a plan that will help you recover. Sometimes a second option or a different type of doctor can give you the relief you are seeking.
It is impossible to get any kind of decent medical treatment in the state of Kentucky, the doctors refuse to write any medicine, just give me therapy which is just a heated towel on my back, and the accident caused 3 herniated disc
I have a question, I was a passenger in a car driving on the highway at 55mph , a car slams into us at 85 mph and I went to hospital driven by friend immediately after. I was diagnosed with whiplash and a concussion. My ER visit was $7000 . I don't have representation and didn't get a lawyer and it's been 5 months but still having headaches and memory loss. Considering all of this would I be reasonable to receive $14000 for medical bills and my pain and suffering? $7000 ultimately to me. It was a pretty a traumatic accident, I didn't get further treatment because my medicaid doesn't do neurology. So I probably should have had a lawyer who does contingency plans with doctors. Thanks for your reply sorry I think I left this on other video, I thought it was erased.
A deer total my car. I suffered whiplash, I sprained my neck, my upper back, and my lower back. I been going to rehab for a month now. I have state farm what am I looking at for pain and suffering. I did a mri, and xrays
Collision covers you if you hit a rock does a rock have it? They have that on there if you hit some and I hit something and I have a 100,000 policy for just that. I also have comprehensive which I have 50,000 with that. So in total am covered 150,000
i have a workers comp case is about to settle in 2 monts but i never had a MRI because the insurance denide my doctor told me i need an MRI but my attorney told me if the insurance denided the mri is because you dont need it do you think is that correct??? can i go for the MRI by my own???
Such an exhausting process for me. I am coming up on two years since my accident and just finally getting to mediation this month. I was not at fault in the accident. The at fault party has allstate insurance which I am hearing is the worse as far as not wanting to play fairly when it comes to settlement. I had 40K of medical bills and they came back and said they would only pay 19K. It was then my attorney filed the lawsuit. Unfortunately in my state the insurance min limits are low and I doubt the at fault as any assets as she only has the min amount of insurance. I am hoping I can make a claim if need be from my own insurance has I had well over the minimum amount of insurance plus coverage for uninsured and underinsured. If anything I am pushing for her policy limits.
all things delightful How much of the settlement can your attorney take. If bills are 40,000 the insurance pay off is 5,000 that pays it in full. But the attorney says you still have to pay 35,000. How can that be???? So my attorney makes his 30 0/0 +my 35,000.
Will CT scans help ?I had an employee of an HOA push me into my car putting my back out. I went to the emergency room afterwards and got a CT scan showing bulging and slipped disc in lowerback.
Hi George, I would have about 20 follow up questions regarding this before I could begin to evaluate what you could expect to get. You will want to call a lawyer in your area to see if the offer is fair. I always give free consultations so if you are in the Phoenix area, I'd be happy to get you a consultation.
I was in a car accident dec 25 2017. I have had xrays twice since then and they say nothing is wrong. I did pt one week through Kaiser and it didnt help. I know something is wrong with my back and I am constantly in pain.the person at fault said I have 2 years to file a claim as the driver was at fault and they live out of state.do I even have a.case now? Should I insist for a MRI with Kaiser
First, you need to call an attorney to verify your statute of limitations date. You generally will have 2 years after the accident, but there are circumstances where you will only have 1 year or even less for deadlines. You likely still have a claim, the question is what your damages are. Even though doctors don't always find problems on an x-ray, it doesn't mean you cannot recover for the pain and suffering and the muscular injuries you are suffering from.
Thank you for responding. Finally had a MRI. came back as minimal invasive spondylosis. PT every other week and muscle relaxants pills that are not helping. Per the driver at fault insurance I have 2 years to file a claim. Every lawyer I have encountered seems very crooked.....
Carmen Edwards do you have a police report without a police report they more than likely won't do anything when I was in 3 accidents in 3 months the police reports were all screwed up the insurance company said they don't believe they're at fault I hounded the police department to get their shit straight or I'm going to sue you after 3 weeks they were all fixed and all the insurance companies paid for my damages I am also suing them small claims injury
Carmen Edwards what it is is lawyers need to get paid that sucks but if they don't take your case then it's not worth anything like I said I have three personal injury lawsuits one caused a large cut on the side of my face the second one caused whiplash PTSD the third one slipped a disc in my neck
@@johnkelly8670 I was at redlight a lady rear ended me totaled my car I went hospital next day got mri I started chiropractic for 8 weeks I have an attorney I did hurt my neck no broken bones but chiropractor said neck wasn't lining up properly now u think I'll get atleast 10 grand
You don’t get paid for it . Lol it would go directly to the medical provider or to your medical insurance. If you take a claim to trial depending on what area you live in ( conservatively liberal jury’s ) you could lose . If you are trying to just get money out of it . A jury will see this and then they may side with the insurance company . Don’t try and milk the system to try and get money . Records also help me determine if you are using the car accident to correct a prior injury.
