I was in a car accident last year but I was in another accident 13 days ago. I know for sure a disk bulge become a herniation from the second accident, that at l4 l5 in the lumbar spine. What type of compensation can I expect from that? Combined with a concussion and chronic ptsd?
First and foremost, do not handle an injury case on your own. Hire an experienced personal injury lawyer or the insurance company will take complete advantage of your ignorance otf the process. A couple of things that must be considered are: will your injuries require surgery; what are your outstanding medical bills; what are your lost wages in the past and in the future; what are your expected medical bills in the future; and what are your future medical bills going to be related to this collision. Any lawyer who tells you what the value of your case is without this information, get up and run as fast as you can. Chances are they are blowing smoke and yo will be very disappointed with the results you receive.
HIRE A LAWYER TO REPRESENT YOU IMMEDIATELY! DO NOT TALK TO INSURANCE COMPANIES UNTIL YOU HIRE A LAWYER. Many times I am called by clients who tried to resolve their cases by themselves and, after they have reached a wall with the insurance adjuster, they call me. Usually, they have done (like not treating for their injuries) or said something (admissions concerning liability or injuries) which has negatively affected the value of their cases. Be smart enough to hire someone who knows the process and can protect you from the unscrupulous adjuster or yourself.
