My Wife took Yaz and had gall bladder surgery. What is a typical settlement amount?
Q. She took the drug for 14 months before developing gall bladder problems. Then had the symptoms misdiagnosed until finally having her gall bladder removed 4 months later. At the time of her gall bladder being removed, the adverse side effect was not known and she was only 24 years old,135 pounds with normal eating habits and weight. Carl, We are talking to a lawyer. We are just wondering what a normal settlement would be. Its pretty abnormal for a 24 year old with no health problems, normal weight, and normal diet to have problems.

A. I had my gall badder removed and never took YAZ. It needs to be proven that the YAZ was the cause and not normal medical condition that affects many people each year. Only a lawyer and a doctor can answer your questions.

What is the typical amount for a settlement from a car accident?
Q. I had a car accident about 5 months ago. I was not at fault. I was sitting in traffic and the lady gunned it and hit me at about 20 mile per hour. (She was playing on her cell phone)My doctor bills added up to 3800 dollars. My car was totalled. They have already paid for the car. Which was only half of what I owed. And so the only offer the insurance company has made so far 3900 for my medical. I thought they was suppose to offer atleast 3X's the medical. So what am I suppose to do.

A. There is no formula. There is no "3 times the meds". Each claim is evaluated on it's own merits. For example -- a person is injured in a car accident. Sustains fractured ribs. Goes to the ER and x-rays show 3 fractured ribs (non-displaced). There is no treatement for fractured ribs...but time. All you can do it let it heal. In the mean time, every time you breath - your chest expands/contracts - and it hurts thanks to those fractured ribs. This goes on for 4-6 weeks while you heal. Your medical bills are 600. A er visit and one set of chest x rays. Does 3x 600 sound like fair compensation for this injury? No. This claim has a value that well exceeds 1800. Here's another example -- you have a car wreck. Go the hospt - complain of… [cont.]

Dentist and the malpractice insurance they are required to carry. What is lawsuit protocol?
Q. I am in medical malpractice settlement negotiations with a dentist. Her insurance company was handling the negotiations, then the dentist license expired and the insurance company dropped the dentist. The dentist obtained a new policy from a new insurance company. Now the original insurance company has dropped out of negotiations. Is it possible that the original insurance company wants me to file suit against the dentist, and then the new insurance company will have to defend the dentist? Or, because the first insurance company received the initial settlement letter with notice of intent to sue, they will have to carry on and defend the dentist even though they no longer have the dentist as a client. Please clarify the typical procedure… [cont.]
Asked by Nevada W - Fri Oct 5 18:45:15 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You definitely need an attorney to work through this now. The dentist and the insurance company have dealt with you in bad faith. The insurance company probably did hope that you'd just go away. You aren't going to be able to fight this on your own, unfortunately. It's hard to say, without specialized knowledge of the laws in your area, to know who is responsible--the dentist, the old insurance company, or the new insurance company. Find a malpractice attorney who will work on contingency--don't pay an attorney anything up front.

A. Usually, personal injury settlements are computed through: Total Financial Loss This covers all losses that automatically have a dollar value equivalent. This includes lost income, medical bills and expenses related to the injury. Level of Pain and Suffering This covers physical and mental injuries that include temporary and permanent disabilities and how it changed your lifestyle. Extent of Liability This covers the amount that should be paid in relation to the liability of the defendant. If you have some fault in the accident as well, the defendant may claim for comparative negligence to reduce the total amount of your compensation.

A. Since you conducted an all cash transaction there are a hell or a lot of papers that are unnecessary for you. Now I would ask the attorney for a clear title to the property you have just purchased from a title company. You should also have escrow closing documents, indicating any and all other charges that were paid by you to close the transaction, even if they were paid for by the seller. The other document you should have is an insurance policy and the tax documents transferring the property to you and it should show as being paid. You might also inquire about the check he wrote from his trust account to the escrow for payment of the property. I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck. "FIGHT ON"

How much from a traffic accident claim?
Q. I was recently involved in a traffic accident where it wasn't my fault. I was stopped at a red light yielding to traffic trying to make a right turn when someone rear-ended me at about 20-30 mph. I have gone to see the doctor and chiropractor for whiplash and a few other bruises, but nothing serious. I kept getting the runaround by my unresponsive insurance company. So, I began working with a lawyer who is going to put in a claim based on my physical injuries as well as emotional distress I've had for the last several days (get nervous just riding in a car). My question is: is there a typical amount beyond the medical bills that I can expect? That is, is there a typical settlement amount for a situation like this? Please no answers… [cont.]
Asked by Traqqer - Sat Nov 8 09:20:08 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You don't say where this loss occurred. The threshold requirements vary from state to state. Some are monetary, others are verbal, and in some states you need to sustain a serious injury.

Q. I was recently involved in a traffic accident where it wasn't my fault. I was stopped at a red light yielding to traffic trying to make a right turn when someone rear-ended me at about 20-30 mph. I have gone to see the doctor and chiropractor for whiplash and a few other bruises, but nothing serious. I kept getting the runaround by my unresponsive insurance company. So, I began working with a lawyer who is going to put in a claim based on my physical injuries as well as emotional distress I've had for the last several days (get nervous just riding in a car). My question is: is there a typical amount beyond the medical bills that I can expect? That is, is there a typical settlement amount for a situation like this? Please no answers… [cont.]

A. You don't say where this loss occurred. The threshold requirements vary from state to state. Some are monetary, others are verbal, and in some states you need to sustain a serious injury.

Offered a settlement, but still in some pain?
Q. Dec 1st, 2005 I was in an accident. I went to a chiropractor up through August when they told me my treatment was done, and essentially I was recovered. My neck and back still hurts when I sit, lay, stand, work out: too much or too long. I'm also prone to headaches, a problem I never had before. I want to settle SOON, but I still have problems... is it too late to go back to a doctor for an exam or something? Or... is the pain typical even after treatment?

A. Your chiropractor could only give you therapy as long as the insurance held out. Mine wanted to keep seeing me to make sure any pain was gone before releasing me and we had to work out a payment plan. I suggest that you sue the other insurance company for money to be able to continue your therapy sessions. You do not have to be greedy, but you do have to be persistent in getting completely well and that means not signing off until you do feel yourself again. Remember that insurance companies want to settle quickly and with the least amount of money exchanged. I think you want to be healthy not rich..so..keep strong and fight for your pain-free life.

Turkish Prime Minister at Davos gets cut off when he speaks up for Gaza, isn't this typical double standard?
Q. This hysterical defense of the indefensible acts in Gaza against the population at the same time more and more Jewish settlements are being placed on Palestinian lands in the West bank against international law is just typical of the moral double standard when it comes to Israel. Just don't ask me to believe that they are the " good guys" in the Mid East and as long as they have the US taxpayer's to depend on for the latest killer weapons, they are not even the "lesser evil" in the Mid East. Ask the guys who survived 45 minutes of Gaza like action on the US radio ship The Liberty.

A. The Turkish PM was not allowed to get a word in against the raving of the Israeli spokesman so he walked out and who can blame him . Yes Israel "gave " the West Bank to the Palestinians , not that it was even theirs to give, and then promptly started pouring illegal settlers , 280,000 of them into there. They even built their own roads which the Palestinians are forbidden to use. They built 8 meter walls imprisoning the Palestinians inside denying them access to their schools and hospitals Watch this video made by CBS news its 13 minutes long but an eyeopener to even pro Israeli supporters Note the typical reply from mizzurah an Israeli supporter when he has no answer to your question

How much can a woman expect to receive in a EEOC pregnancy discrimination settlement?
Q. I am in Florida and the EEOC took my case because my ex-employer fired me a week after I mentioned that I was possibly pregnant and it turned out I was. I had been with them almost 2 years and was also coming up on 2 weeks vacation pay which I never did get. Now the EEOC has said that my ex-employer admitted to being in the wrong and wants to settle out with me. I told the EEOC to tell my ex-employer to make me an offer and if it was reasonable we would go from there. I have not consulted with and attorney yet. Does anyone have any idea on what amount would likely be paid? How high could I go without being ridiculous? I was told by EEOC that it's typical to get a years salary...but the pain and suffering side of this story is that right… [cont.]

A. Well certainly a year's salary is not unusual. Backpay and even reinstatement may be options as well. If you think a year's salary is too small then you can certainly ask for more. Though too much and you're basically shutting down negotiations. The EEOC does have some older settlements on their website so you can see what other people were settling for a couple of years ago. That'll at least point you in the right direct.
