I was in an automobile accident in November 2006 which I was not at fault.I was hit head on by a driver running a stop sign.The next day I went to the Emergency room for shoulder pain.It was believed that I had whiplash and the pain would go away.The pain did not go away and about 2 weeks later I went back to the ER for a followup and I had Xrays done.After the Xrays an MRI was scheduled and the radiologist found that I had swollen bone marrow in my shoulder from the accident and osteoarthritis had quickly set in.Besides pain and pressure of my shoulder feeling like it was going to fall off, everytime I moved it grinded and was popping.I was sent to a bone/joint specialist and they recommended to excercise it by lifting weights to ease the pain. I went back 6 weeks later (today) for a followup and the pain has stopped but the popping/grinding has not.I will have the arthritis for the rest of my life.The insurance company wants to settle and I dont know a monetary $ value to tell them.
First of all the osteoarthritis WAS from the accident and I have proof from the radiologist that it was caused from "tramatic injury" aka the accident. I am only 22 I had no previous injuries or problems out of my shoulder. I even asked if it could have set in that fast after an accident and the radiologist and the specialist both agreed that it could even at my age. I just wanted an idea of a fair amount to ask for given my condition. I am not out looking for a get rich quick scam or anything.

I'm a claims adjuster and I'll be honest with you.

DON'T get a lawyer.

First of all, osteoarthritis is not something that was caused by an accident. It may have been aggravated by the collision, but osteoarthritis is by nature a degenerative condition. This means it would be caused by normal wear and tear on the body and generally accompanies aging.

Secondly, you should at the VERY least see what the insurance company has to offer you before retaining an attorney. Often, people end up with the same (if not less) than they would have gotten directly from the insurance company. A reputable insurance company is going to evaluate your claim based on its merits, and pay a fair amount based on your injury and your venue. Having an attorney WILL NOT change the nature of your injury, or the venue you're in. All it will do is pay for another ad on daytime television to try to lure unsuspecting people into giving up one third of their insurance money.

The people who say "get an attorney and fight it out in court" don't know the game, and don't know that more than 99% of attorney represented claims don't go to court… because your attorney will lose, and you may end up with nothing. But this is all a tangent that you didn't even ask about, and more a response to the irritating people who think that getting an attorney will somehow get them more money.

Anyway, although you've provided more information than most people do when asking your sort of question, you'd need to tell us the county and state you reside in for any of us to have any idea how much your claim is worth.

EDIT: I'm sorry if I sounded harsh, it wasn't even really directed at you. But something like osteoarthritis is not something I'd expect to be causally related to an accident.

And again, without knowing where you are, it's hard to say. Jurisdiction has a lot to do with how much your claim is worth… the insurance company should offer you something, you shouldn't have to come up with a figure on your own. You can probably negotiate up somewhat from their initial offer.

The length of time to complete a door assembly on an automobile factory assembly line is normally distributed with a mean MU=7.9 minutes and standard deviation δ = 1.9 minutes. For a door selected at random, what is the probability the assembly line time will be

a.) 7 minutes or less?

b.) 10 minutes or less?

c.) between 7 and 10 minutes?

Please explain and Thank you so much!

A) P(T < 7) = P(Z < (7-7.9)/1.9)

P( Z < -.4736842105)

http://davidmlane.com/hyperstat/z_table.html

Area below Z(-.4736842105) = .317863 = probability.

B) P(T < 10) P(Z < (10-7.9)/1.9)

P( Z < 1.105263158)

Area below Z(1.105263158) = .865477 = probability.

C) Between 7 and 10 minutes = P(10) - P(7)

= .865477 - .317863 = 0.547614

How long does it take an automobile travel-
ing in the left lane at 68.9 km/h to overtake
(become even with) another car that is trav-
eling in the right lane at 42.2 km/h, when the
cars’ front bumpers are initially 57 m apart?
Answer in units of s.

assuming that the cars are not accelerating…
you take the relative velocity, which would be the difference in velocities.

68.9-42.2=26.7km/hr = 7.41666667 m / s
v*t=d
t=d/v = 57/7.41666 = 7.685sec

I just wanted an idea of a fair amount to ask for given my condition. I am not out looking for a get rich quick scam or anything.
My medical bills are about $2200-$3000 and I also purchased some weights to lift as suggested by my specialist to ease the pain. I forgot to add the damage to the vehicle was about $9000 and the frame was bent but the vehicle wasnt totaled cause the bluebook was about $18,000.
What I really want to know is how much is pain and suffering actually worth? I was in a lot of pain and was drugged up for like 2 weeks and didnt feel like doing anything. I don't know a value for something like that. I just want to know something fair and nothing money. They offered only $1000 and that don't seem fair since the arthritis will probably give me problems later on down the road.
I am a student and have not been previously employed.

First, I have to preface my comments by saying this is not personal and I hope you get everything you deserve in your settlment. My comments are based on my experience as a long time adjustor and I'll identify some of your strengths and weakness( in my opinion) based on the info you've provided.I have to address the osteoarthritis (OA) injury. I am not a doctor but would emphatically disagree that your current OA is caused by the loss. I'm not sure there is anyway that OA manifests iteself in six weeks. Could your injury lead to OA? Yes, but I don't think anyone can say it definately will…your chances only increase with trauma to the joint. That is a weakness of your case as literature would support that opinion. If your doctor says otherwise, God bless him and pound that into the adjustors head but you'll want to get the dictated medical records from all your treating providers to know exactly what is noted not just what they told you verbally. It could vary. Now, your age is in your favor but what I would look at is your occupation. Are you in a position requiring manual labor, overhead work, repetative use of the shoulder, etc. do you have a prior medical condition? Those are things that could lead to OA as well. However, at 22, it's not that common and trauma induced OA would be more common…just not after 6 weeks…OA does not quickly set in. This is a degenerative condition that takes time to develop.
What's it all worth? That's tough. Much of has to do with how you present and your witness qualifications vs. the other driver. Was the other driver drunk or some other aggravating factor? I would say your claim is worth your bills plus 1000-2000 on top of that. It's likely you were diagnosed with a bone bruise (which hurt like hell) and/or a shoulder soft tissue sprain/strain. You stated the pain has stopped so you're entitled to 6 weeks or so of pain and suffering. As for the grinding, that is called crepitus and can be a symptom of OA. I'm really curios what your occupation is though, and how that may/may not be a factor.
I don't see an attorney making a bunch of money for you on this one but you'll have to decide that. Too many people push everyone to attorneys…especially on this website. Attorneys generally take 1/3 of a settlement meaning you'll have to recover 50% more on a settlement with the atty to net the same amount and that just doesn't happen that often and when it does, it's because the atty brought something to light that the insurance company may not have been aware of.

good luck

Hello everyone,
I was told I had to have a license to go to a local automobile auction that they have once a month here locally in FL. I have been told that the prices the cars go for is thousands off what I can get anywhere else. I was thinking that I could get a car for myself (main reason for going through the process) but I also thought if they were cheap enough trying to flip them also. Thanks

This site says you have to be a dealer or an agent for one
