Posted by admin in Pain Management and Treatment | 5 Comments

I was in a motorcycle wreck in August I was driving home from work and a truck the size of a fed ex truck hit me from behind. The man also admitted fault at the scene. I have a lawyer and everything but they wont tell me how much i might get from everything such as pain and suffering and stuff. Heres all the info with some pictures of the road rash I had.
I broke my C-7 vertebra in 2 places, I was care flighted to Parkland hospital in Dallas where i stayed for 2 nights and 3 days, I had severe bone contusions on both knees, I was out of work for 7 weeks, also road rash see pictures below. Lucky though i didnt have to have surgery and Im not sure all of my doctor bills but I have seen a lot of doctors and went to physical therapy for a month. Basically I just want to know at how much i will be looking at from this wreck.

How Much Should I Accept For Settlement From A Car Wreck?

Feb 7

Posted by admin in Pain Management and Treatment | 7 Comments

I was driving with my 6 month old and got hit head on after he came across the yellow lines. the impact flipped and rolled us and we slid on my roof. I crawled out on my knees on my roof and then had to sit and watch my baby hang inside the car until they finally got her out. very scary. she had glass in her mouth and i had neck, knees, back,wrists and ankle pains and cuts all over me. i had physical therapy and xrays etc totaling 11,000 and i hear about this “general rule” of 3x medical- but i have 2 other kids and a husband and a life that took a while to get adjusted to. im in college and it hurts in my knees still when i walk and so much more inconveniences. like i’m scared of cars hittiing me now- i even jump if they come too close. what do you think?

Car Wreck + Back Pain = Physical Therapy?

Dec 11

Posted by admin in Pain Management | 5 Comments

So I was in a car wreck about 2 weeks ago (car spun out of control, hit a telephone pole and rolled 1 1/2 times down a steep embankment on the side of the road, I was driving and it landed on the drivers side. Completely totaled the car.) and I went the doctor to get some xrays done on my back a week ago and we got the results back and it said there was nothing significantly abnormal with my lower back, I forget what it said. But all of the sudden about an hour ago it starts hurting so bad I have to sit down. Should I give it a few days and if it’s still hurting pretty bad should I look into physical therapy?
