I Was Accidentally Buried Alive, How Do I Prepare For A Settlement? 

Same

That's what I thought 🤣

Me too 😂

ME TOO! CLICKBAIT! Hahaha ;P love @Dave Ramsey

Same and I’m kinda disappointed because I wanted to know how he got TF up outta there…

The insurance company already is filming him 24/7. Never, ever say you are OK until you cash the settlement check, Geez

100% this. Don't talk about it unless the case is resolved.

He’s an honest person. He’s not looking to scam insurance or his employer.

@@ericm6818 Yeah but the problem is his honesty could be turned against him in court and deny him settlement. Sometimes the best policy is to shut up, not be candidly honest.

@@ericm6818 Doesn't matter you don't say a WORD. They are going to do everything they can to avoid paying a settlement. Settlements like this will take years and I'm sure his lawyers told him not to discuss his case. If they didn't he needs to find a new lawyer. As he heals he might find he has limitations he didn't realize, a higher level of disability, or the doctors might discover something else wrong that was overlooked initially. You don't say a WORD. Especially on a radio talk show discussing a settlement you won't receive for years.

But he just did that so for others don't do that

Workers comp is the worst thing I’ve ever had to deal with. I had a legit work injury and they denied my claim. SAIF is absolutely horrible and I feel sorry for anyone that has to deal with them

Yeah, hopefully buddy did not prepare too much because that settlement went away/reduced significantly after this

Lmfao

How much would a claim like this typically be?

Same! Lol

Samezies!

😂

I know right I was totally disappointed when I found out it was a building LOL I was hoping he was embalmed and Buried LOL

SAAAAAAAAME!😂

ikr this is kinda clickbait

Hahaha

That’s what I was thinking!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this was a funeral related burial...

“What’s your household income?”**

rice and beans, not going inside of a restaurant.

😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣

🤪

Sadly, he will not see much. He has to prove he cannot work or be trained to work in another field.

He just announced to the whole world he's ok and going back to normal. I don't see the payout being as high as he's imagining.

.... and he's ok

not enough details to prove it’s him

Money--We have to have it; everybody needs money! So he does need the money. You never not need money.

It is all a bit weird. But most people start their addictions after being introduced during a hospital stay.

@@ianeagle40nilThe guy has to go back for more surgery. He’s going to be on something after that. It’s not appropriate to make him say “never again” when he knows he’ll be having more surgery. And most pill popping addictions actually started from people who were already addicts, then they get injured or whatever, then they’re assisted to pills. People are perfectly capable of managing pain meds without addiction. Being honest about the pain is the first start. I had knee surgery and was given Percocet. I went through my first bottle faster than they wanted, even though I followed their instructions to the letter. But I was still in agony, especially after my first PT appt. So they gave me one more rx and said no more after that. I took one, maybe two more doses, and was fine with ibuprofen after. Every one is different, but we are still capable.

They are just trying to take his situation seriously. This is exactly how peoples lives get ruined. This is a textbook start to an opioid addict who ends up on drugs. Also, this man sees to be overly optimistic about getting back to good health. His income is 100% dependent on his health. His health has been taken from him and he does not know how that will affect him in the years to come. (Serious damage to rotator cuffs, biceps, bones, and brain) He needs to understand that his ability to generate income has been compromised and he might need medical assistance later as well.

Yeah, the Percocet bit really bothered me. I can’t imagine telling him to just take the pain if something else went wrong and he needed more. He just has to work with his doctor.

@@mbyrd6713 it’s nasty stuff. I wouldn’t trust a doctor. They don’t have an incentive to keep you from getting hooked

LOL

Lol

I’m buried alive everyday by existing

The bidenflation

W comment

Me too, I clicked immediately because that’s what I thought

Me too😂

Same

Even decades down the road...

@@anyamuenchgrieser8686 yes decades, I broke all the bones in my foot but to. That was in 1988. They put my foot in a cast. Dr. told me i would have problems with it the rest of my life. 36 years later I do have problems. Went to a knee DR. today. Get all you can get. You will have problems. If you can prove it was neglect, get all you can. I did not, Do not think they will take care of you along the way. In 20 years nobody will even know you got hurt. Take to a lawyer. Sue everyone you can. Get it now. I was just a few years older then you. You are go to hurt years down the road.

Um, I would venture to guess he already did, since he says this during the call!

I never heard him mention he has lawyers working on his case. He should have lawyers waiting in line take his case.

@@jeffreyedwards220 1:05 I retained lawyers

@@jeffreyedwards220 he says it multiple times, including the fact that a lawyer told him he cannot sue his employer so they are suing a third party!!

*Forget

Better than buried dead

@@michaelvan6675 You’re not wrong

They are not shaming him, and if you are a doctor then you would realize that narcotics are not meant for chronic pain!!

@@bettysmith4527 as a nurse I can tell you you're wrong again Betty. Keep using your essential oils but some situations require a complex pain regimen that involves narcotics

Fake

@@codys5727 I disagree, also as a nurse, and truly believe narcotics are way overused and should not at all be used for chronic pain! People who want them for chronic pain are addicted to them!! Read about the fact that chronic use of narcotics CAUSES more pain instead of improving it!

@@bettysmith4527 I'm glad you used the term believe. I use facts not my beliefs. Opioids are overused but doesn't mean there isn't benefit from them. Narcotic abuse, dependency and addiction are a sign of other problems in the life of the user, not the cause. They can be a weapon or a tool, just like a hammer or firearm

IKR? 😅. My goofy behind thought the person was buried alive in a grave!! I was like “What?!” For some reason being trapped in a building collapse didn’t cross my mind. I’m such a 😖😖

100% am here due to that.

Well they actually lock the casket with a special key (usually after the display at the funeral). So you would never be able to get yourself out.

@@James-yi1vk I don’t doubt that’s how it normally works, but I did read about someone climbing out of a grave a while back.

😂😂😂

😂😭😂😭😂

I know it. I've never been more excited to click on one of Dave's videos.

Really funny and original comment

SELL THE CAR.

@@thomask8298 Really funny and original response.

@@JeanValjean875 lol he's trying to be a tough guy

Sell the car

Glad I wasn't the only one.

Literally the number one reason people abuse opioids is because they had an accident… that’s why we have thing big of an issue.

Will not happen, he just admitted he is OK on national radio

@@alinatamashevich3354 he surely is no physical evaluator, he has reported severe injuries and that he is healing, in future he can anyday tow line that he didnt heal as expected and now cant work as he used to

@@hiteshadhikari Sadly, he is under the care of W/C doctors. They will determine when he has reached maximum medical improvement(MMI). If he tries to prolong his injury, he will be determined to be malingering, and benefits could stop and his treatment will cease.

Ya he’s not too smart

Work to get what you NEED not just take all you can get.

Ramsey's goal is for him to NOT get stressed out about the settlement. To take his time and get the right amount.

@@orphanedhanyou he's going to NEED a lot more than is apparent now

That wouldn’t bring in as much views…. It’s a business game. Get with it.

Yep!!!

I thought "buried alive" was referring to debt, especially on this channel.

First time on yt?

@@joshlecher4935 lol

I disagree, he might get enough to never have to work a day in life again

That’s always a possibility but he’s only 24. That is something I never would consider. I’m a workaholic myself. He’s going to lose about 35-40 percent typically to an attorney so it would have to be a really large amount. Also he’s married so she’s going to want to spend money if she’s anything like my ex was!! lol

YASSS let it build

@@edb484 Nope, if he can walk and talk, he is considered "whole". Only life long care situations get the big payouts.

@@bbkyjohnson He will lose 50% plus attorneys fees. Most/ not all lawyers go to 50% when they file a motion to sue and set a court date which they must do in order to get the attention of the insurance company. Otherwise it is a bluff and NO insurance company will even answer your phone call.

Counselor who has encountered them and aware of the possibilities.

It's part of the game just like the news headlines. It's about what gets the views/watchers

He irritates me sometimes. So arrogant. He is basically arguing with the guy about a medical issue when he knows nothing.

Agree. His remark was so judgmental and arrogant. Why doesn’t he go thru surgery and do it without pain meds? The fact the man is already off the meds certainly does not indicate addiction. His remark really irritated me. Arrogant.

BINGO!

Lol he gave him bad advice

@@theAppleWizz Get Your OWN Show And Tell Him What To Do When He Calls 📞 And Ask You! Until Then Get To Work On Those Baby Steps 🪜 🍼 Have A Good Day! 🍌✌️

@@KT-sv6jx lol stay poor or slightly well off.

@@theAppleWizz Oh Did Dave Hurt Your Feelings 🤕 It's Ok The Bitterness And Excuses Will Serve You Well In this Life.

He really should not have called the show. One of the first things a lawyer tells you is to not say a WORD. Period.

Those are hard to get unless you cannot perform basic life functions. If he can walk and talk and go to the store, he will not get very much.

Actually, 15-year fixed.

Hope he stayed away form balloons, not good!!

@@bettysmith4527 yes he ended up going with another company but you got to be careful even though he tells you to use these people they may not be completely on Dave’s side

@@jimroscovius thanks I thought it was a 15. I have a 30 year fix but got it before I found Dave but it Financially didn’t make sense to go to a 15 and refinance so we have just been pounding down on the principal trying to pay it off sooner

What if the company he was working for is found negligent? He said he is union and cannot sue the company he works for.

Sorry to tell you, if he can walk and talk he is out of luck. The insurance company is filming him 24/7, and he called a national radio station and said he was doing well. They will request his cell phone records. Insurance will spend tens of thousands to get out of paying a claim.

This is a clip from a live broadcast...

Because he's trying to move things along when they aren't sticking to the topic at hand.

100% the whole time i was like this dude is just bored and wants someone to talk to. Rambling about random shit lol

He has one. He said he did at least.
