re: OT: Any personal injury attorneys on the board who woork in NEGA?

Eldrewo - Will be working Monday-Saturday. 6 am -530pm. Work in a factory, single income family, so I can't really miss work. Playing out the string until surgery on Aug 18 I can sort of use the arm as long as I'm willing to hurt for it. Lol. I will spend 6 weeks in a sling and miss 6 weeks to 3 months work with only short term disability which pays 50% of my base wages. I work a significant amount of overtime so this will be a serious problem while waiting for settlement. I'm not sure about PM here but the email I have on file here isn't correct anymore. Not sure how the site feels about slinging personal info out but, my current email is dawg_holliday33@yahoo.com



Meansonny - I got an initial claims adjuster who said the absolute best she could do was 8k for care already received and 2500.00 for "time and inconvenience". Said she has to transfer me to another department who will make their offer once my treatment is completed. I am already well beyond the 8k...ER visit the day of the accident and subsequent trip to orthopedist for MRI has eaten that up and then some. The surgery will be 35k and I pay 10% out of pocket up front. I'm more than willing to let them make an offer, I just kinda wanted to talk to someone to get a gauge of what a fair settlement for a similar injury/missed work scenario.
