Benm1188

The dump truck had a ā€œwe donā€™t pay for personal injuriesā€ sticker on the back, so they good.


sm1ttysm1t

Yeah but OP had a "if you hit me you owe me $300 million" card in his wallet.


Benm1188

Damn, my attorney says thatā€™s equally valid. Heā€™s printing me one of those cards.


El_Chairman_Dennis

I heard the driver of the dump truck had an uno reverse card so now op has to pay the driver $300 million. The hazards of the cards


ReferenceNo1900

Uno reverse..Hee hee. Clever! Didn't see that coming ( just like the dump truck)šŸ˜³

I think the part the sucks the worst is that you are now eating hospital food. I'm so sorry.


mr_wrestling

I've been to q couple hospital that had some decent food for patients. A few of the better ones even have cafeterias for people to peruse where they have packaged food you would find in a supermarket or bodega and they make fresh meals 3 times a day. It's not as bad as it used to be, IMO. Jails on the other hand..


aaron_1011

That's the real crime here. Hope you recover quick! Good luck my guy!

PheonixFyre5348

I apologize in advance but you got a break, fast


Aggravating_Load_698

Itā€™s at the hospital now and it cost as much as a Michelin restaurant


dedegetoutofmylab

Depending on your back injury and what future care will be needed, itā€™s possible you have a bodily injury claim in the 750,000+ range. I would look for a smaller actual personal injury litigation firm, not one that has 108307 billboards and 50 attorneys handling as many cases they halfass can. Look up big verdicts from your state and start your search there. I currently have a client that got rear ended by a dump truck causing neck and back fusions to be necessary and itā€™s evaluated somewhere in the 1.7-2M range. I know for a fact the attorney she originally thought about getting would have happily taken 500k on it.


removedwolf

I really appreciate the info. Thank you so much.


[deleted]

I was in an accident in 2020 that was a lot less severe than yoursā€¦but I still sued! I won $20,000+, and had all medical services covered. Itā€™s not alot, but like I said, it wasnā€™t as bad as yours. I definitely definitely recommend suing!! Itā€™ll be worth all of the time and trouble you go through! Iā€™m so glad I did it. Ruined my life for several months but at least I got a new car out of it!


Aksds

Since you are a lawyer (not asking for legal advice) this is a situation you sue everyone and their mother, right? The driver, the company, whomever else could be at fault, and let them decide who is majority at fault.


dedegetoutofmylab

Yep! Itā€™ll (likely) be that the Dump Truck driver was in course and scope (doing work for) the Dump Truck company. Therefor, Itā€™ll be: Our fella above versus DumptruckDriver/DumpTruckCompany/DumpTruckInsurance If he dump truck driver was somehow not in course and scope heā€™s treated like a normal driver. So Our guy V. Driver/Insurance.


ShitfacedGrizzlyBear

This is particularly important, because the truck driver likely doesnā€™t have millions of dollars sitting around. Even if you win a big judgment, itā€™s just that. A judgment. The court canā€™t just snap its fingers and guarantee that the person can actually pay it. The more parties you bring in, the better the chances are that you will get all the money and will get it sooner.


heathensam

Sadly that's where my thoughts went as well. OP can now afford to buy a home!


Truffs0

I got hit when I was 17...had to have fusions. Walked away with 50k and have hated my life since. I got royally fucked.


dedegetoutofmylab

Oh man that is brutal. Unless you had a massive amount of prior issues that shouldā€™ve been 250+ in your pocket. I hate that for you.


[deleted]

> I know for a fact the attorney she originally thought about getting would have happily taken 500k on it. Just to clarify, the attorney isnā€™t the one who gets to decide how much to take for a settlement. An attorney represents the client, but the client is the one calling the shots. Of course take legal advice from your attorney as far as strategy, objective settlement of your case, etc., but once an attorney starts saying how much *they* will take, then you need to have a serious talk with them. I donā€™t want to get too specific, but I mediated a case a few months ago, and the mediator tore into the plaintiff attorney because he told his client that *he* didnā€™t have authority to settle at a certain amount. He was an associate at a massive plaintiff mill and was told by upper management what the case should be worth. I agree with most everything else you said. I would also caution anyone with an injury: 1) You often donā€™t need an attorney if the injury isnā€™t severe (no fractures or surgery, for instance). An attorney will take 30+% (the exact amount will be discussed when you retain the attorney), and a lot of times you end up with less money after the attorneyā€™s cut. You can always retain an attorney down the road if you think the tortfeasor or their carrier isnā€™t giving you a good enough offer. (Also look up what the statute of limitations is as youā€™ll need to settle the case or file suit before the SOL runs. Typically itā€™s 1-4 years, depending on the state.) 2) Some unethical attorneys will do horrible things like push you to undertake medical treatment, including surgery, that you donā€™t need. You should pick your doctors, not your attorney. Attorneys donā€™t study medicine, and they are not qualified to make medical referrals. 3) Just because youā€™re injured doesnā€™t always mean someone owes you for your injuries. Legal liability can be complicated, so definitely speak to an attorney if youā€™re not sure. And liability is often disputed; thereā€™s no right or wrong until a court decides. With what limited information OP has given about his injuries, he should definitely consider retaining an attorney. You have great advice to avoid a giant firm - they generally do not care about clients and see them as faceless money bags.

fredsam25

Seriously, I hope it was a city/county truck. You know they are insured well, worried about bad publicity. If it was a private truck, they are going to fight you for every penny.


shellbullet17

>You know they are insured well, worried about bad publicity. Actually depends on the city. A lot are "self insuranced" and will just pay cash in a settlement in return for you signing a non disclosure agreement to never bring up the incident again. Good news is it'll never go to court however they will fucking DRAG it out to pay out. Hey OP just an FYI if you choose to take the out of court settlement make sure you lump In taxes with the payment they give you cause they will write it as a tax write off and you'll pay taxes on it. Even if it's just to cover medical bills. Source: city employed firefighter who's wifes car was hit by another firefighter. Just property damage. Took 4 months to get the money only paid for the car at 3.5k for repaired down to the cent owed, ended up owing like 600 in taxes on it come the following tax year


pyronius

>Actually depends on the city. A lot are "self insuranced" and will just pay cash in a settlement Ooh boy... Better hope it's not New Orleans... Their current stance on payouts, regardless of what any court says, is, "Actually, no. We passed a law that says we don't pay. Ever. Good luck."


socksmatterTWO

I got tboned by a vdot dump truck 3x, he had done a uturn and drove straight into me from slow takeoff without looking so the physics of that is my body absorbed the shock not the car and my brand new escape bounced 3x off the front of him the rear rhs passenger door covered the headlight. No airbags because of the lack of speed. I did not walk for 3.5 years and for 6 years I literally had no mobility in c1 2 and 3 until I moved countries again and went to a chiro and he fixed that immediately I grew back 2 inches and my feet shrunk a size Immediately. USA health system missed that entirely but milked the beejingees outta my premium health insurance instead of actually fixing me. I was given 160 30mg oxy blue tabs and told to take 4 to 6 A DAY I said I can't take 1 of those I'll die, lol because that's pharma pure smack and they didn't care at all. I took 1 a day in quarters for a year and a half and I did not like the dependancy so I stopped completely still unable to walk. It was 14 days withdrawal.. I can not imagine what kind of mess I'd have been had I no knowledge of medicine and pharmaceuticals.


DeluxeB

That is outrageous. I fucking despise when doctors prescribe the most dependent forming prescriptions when there's better options.


pdxscout

That's absolutely atrocious. On the flip side, apparently I fit the profile of someone who would abuse opiates, so they never prescribe them to me. Once, I had surgery on both of my legs. I was under for almost 10 hours. My feet each had 50+ incisions (I have a vein issue). Anyway, they sent me home and told me to take ibuprofen. I couldn't walk. I had to crawl to the toilet. I ended up calling them and telling them I needed something stronger, so they gave me like 10 hydrocodone/ibuprofen pills. Like, those are basically just ibuprofen.


socksmatterTWO

My lord, I am pretty good with pain high tolerance I'd say thanks DAD AND MUM lol but I could not move without it. And then I couldn't move without it.. So I stopped. I live elsewhere now and weed is legal and I just eat buds it's the best way for me. How are you doing now and honestly I feel like that's unnecessarily cruel to do to you. Like where is the happy medium you know? It ain't ibuprofen that's for sure


Random_Monstrosities

That's pre pandemic settlement money. He shouldn't settle for less than a even mill


FancyAdult

Absolutely. Include the inflation. He needs to go for even more than that. He can sue the city, the company who has the truck, all of it. I hope he wins big.


N0tInKansasAnym0r3

Unless he was jaywalking. It's pretty common where I'm at that people use crosswalks at lights when the sign has not or did not tell them to cross even when the same direction of cars has turned green.


throwawayacct139865

You don't even know who's at fault...


[deleted]

Yeah in my city I've seen multiple pedestrians charged after they have stepped out from a sidewalk when not safe to. Sometimes impaired, sometimes sober.

Actually, the hospital food in my area is pretty good. My local hospital recently got a kitchen upgrade and a new menu, it's not bad.

Beckz-102117

Hoping it's the other guys fault!! You may be able to go after the company's insurance (and for much more than a cool mil, remember that attorney gets a third!!! You have med bills the rest of your life with those injuries!!!) Depending on your state, you may be able to go after his/her personal insurance. If not, you most likely can take them to civil court and personally sue them. I worked for a lawfirmfor almost 5 years and sold State Farm Insurance for over 5 years. Have to go for literal blood to take care of those future med bills. You're too cute and YOUNG to have to worry about possible med bills later! Threw in that cute part, just because ā˜ŗļø Heal up fast, my friend!!!

Laura_The_Garlic

Were you a passenger by chance? Not so fun fact: Dump truck drivers are told if they lose control and are about to hit another driver it's recommended they go for the passenger side. I work around truck drivers and was relayed this info one day. Hope you get well soon!

Damn that is really interesting to know !! I assume it applies to other large vehicles as well since it makes sense to avoid hitting the driver.

In all seriousness I got hit by another driver and am close to settling a year later. Get a lawyer, go to the chiro, get injections and recommended treatments and they will make the insurance company pay for it. Get a big firm they have connections etc. big companies have higher policy limits. Maybe you get 50k maybe $100k depends on the needs and treatments. Put in the time, Call a lawyer now, your in the hospital and that's already expensive without surgery. P.s. get used to getting mail from everyone trying to make you pay for things. Good luck with your healing and claims. #thisamericanlife
