Re: personal injusry due to car accident.

If you have a pending lawsuit you most likely have a legal counselor...have you spoken with your attorney about these problems? He or she should be able to answer your questions, provide you some time lines and the guidance you need. You need to open a line of communication with your current attorney and if he or she does not cooperate you should insist upon a face to face meeting or new counsel.

Often attorneys do a lot of work and are poor communicators. Reach out to them and I am sure they will quickly and fully provide you with better answers than an online forum. Good luck!!

Re: personal injusry due to car accident.

Really sorry to hear about your situation.

You are so young to be going through such

an ordeal. As a hairdresser, your work is obviously

affected. Hang in there.

Your injuries have caused a complete

change in your physical and emotional

health. Under the law you are entitled

to recover for pain and "suffering."

If you are having a diagnosable depression,

evidence of that condition would go into

evidence and be argued as damages by your attorney.

Insurance companies notoriously dismiss such

claims. You need to have clear evidence of your

damages put forth by a strong advocate.

Settlements most typically are lump sum payments

made at the end of the case. Funding companies

exist which make short term but high interest loans

to injury claimants.

You need an experienced, aggressive and compassionate attorney.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for a free

consultation. I would be glad to talk with you

by phone or email.

Re: personal injusry due to car accident.

You certainly are a victim of a bad situation. It sounds like you are doing every thing you can to get better and that is always the best approach to take in an injury case.

Unfortunately, you are in a circumstance that is what I call the Insurance- created purgatory of injury cases, the time in between the injury and the settlement or trial of a case. In Illinois, there is no temporary settlement, the reason being that the insurance companies of the defendants hold out as long as they can, hoping that they will force an injured victim to settle a case early for pennies on the dollar.

In Illinois, you are entitled to damages based on pain and suffering, lost wages, future lost wages, temporary and permanent disability, disfigurement, andpast, present and future medical expenses. Based on your submission, your anxiety, depression and physical changes due to the collision appear to fit into multiple damage catagories.

It is unclear to me whether you are represented by counsel, yet. If you are, your best bet is to contact your attorney as he or she has the most knowledge of your case and are in a far better position to guide you than any advice that you can get in Lawguru or any similar forum and in relating your symptoms to areas of damages.

If you are not represented by counsel, please feel free to contact me. I have been representing injured victims in Illinois since 1982 and have some suggestions that my work for you. However, I will need more details about your case. I respond very quickly to email as I check email every few hours.
