How much do you think the lawyer is going to help me get?
|
Last year I slipped and fell at walmart very badly due to water on the floor. I could not even get up off the floor. The ambulence had to come and get me up off the floor and take me to the hospital. Anyway, i contacted a lawyer because walmart would not call me back when they called me and was starting a case. But i kept calling them back, and they wouldnt call me back. They finally did and they commited fault and it was for only 300$. I was like hell no! All this pain? and all i get is that? Well I had a MRI from the dr that ordered it from my lawyer. I am seeing a chyropractioner, and im going to physical therapy. The MRI read, ( im just posting this, to see if any of you know what is wrong, and if its that bad, and how much you think i can get.)
THERE IS 5 THINGS LISTED,
1. There are central disc herniations at the L4-5 and L5-S1 levels.
2.Broad disc bulges are at L3-4 and superimposed at L4-5 and L5-S1
3.Mild spinal stenosis occurs at L4-5 and L5-S1
4.Bilaterial foraminal narrowing is at L3-4 to L5-S1. Clinical correlation recommeneded for corresponding radiculopathies.
5.Diffuse straightening of the expected lumbar lordosis suggests muscololigamentous injury or sprain.
The chyropractor is also sending to me to a back surgeon.
So what do you all think is wrong, and how much do you think i can get???
Dont say it depends, give me a guess! lol thank you all and God Bless

You'll have your hands full coming up against corporate attorneys. I would imagine the first thing they would want is an MRI from before the slip. Without it, they will ask for you to prove that is when it happened! Disgusting expectation, but be prepared.
Are you a minor? Did your parents retain the attorney? Does he/she specialize in PI cases? What %age of the proceeds did you agree to give the attorney? (Typically 33% - 40%) And, you will have to deal with expenses...Whatever costs are involved to present your evidence.
Is there a video of the incident? Was there a witness? Do you have a history of being involved in lawsuits?
If under 18, expect the $$$ to be placed in a trust. You may have an offer to pay over years. You will need an actuary to realize what it really amounts to in today's dollars.
Lastly, how long has it been since the slip, and what prognosis does your doctor have? You think you hurt now, but I can tell you from personal experience that it can easily get worse.
Wisdom and experience tells me to NEVER settle before two years from the incident, and keep a journal with every daily ache/pain/medication/medical appt. and procedure.
