How much will I receive from my settlement? OT encouraged

3,834 187 October 26, 2010 at 04:15 PM
SO I was in a car accident a few years back, and yada yada, I have a permanent injury to my hip flexor area. It inhibits my ability to exercise the way I used to, it hurts after sex Mad !!!! and sometimes it pops/clicks when I walk. It is not debilitating. I did not lose an arm or become deformed from this. I am not in a wheelchair and I didn't lose my job over this injury. However, its a pain in the ass and I'm upset that it can never go away.

So after 1/3 of it goes to legal fees, lets make bets on how much I get out of it.

Before it was deemed permanent I was offered 18k (Or about that) before the 1/3 was taken out. I'll update this if I ever get money.
And no, I am not loaning any of you money! laugh out loud

(If anyone remembers my thread about what you would do with a large amount of money if you won it, that is what this was about)

I was going south in one direction and was passing through an intersection, four way, with lights. I had a green light. Woman going north and turning left had a green light and did not yield so we smashed into each other. I slammed on my brakes prior to the accident. It looked (and felt) like she did not even brake.
She said she didn't see me. As weird as that sounds, I believe me. This was not a case of her trying to cut me off. She was driving a ford SUV I was driving a sedan. Both our cars were totaled.

Is it permanent permanent or can you have surgery on it in the future to fix it? (e.g., some sort of hip replacement)

I was told there was nothing that could fix it.

and WTF@hip replacement.. I'm 24. I went to a specialist and he is going to send a report to the ambulance chaser IMEANLAWYER and then they'll negotiate with the ins.

Hip replacements themselves aren't permanent.

A friend of mine (he's 25) had hip replacement surgery a year ago. No joke!

Anyways, I'll guess 25k. There are 25,000 M&Ms in that jar over there.
