heard from the Insurance, they're not disputing the guilt this sounds like it may be drawn out- they will not pay until i'm healed . Any idea how to hnadle this? I also want to make sure Blue Cross gets reimbursed - as I have an indivdual policy and don't want my rates to go up
maybe i should get tested for Alzhiemer's- I Left my wallet at Albertson's this morning.

Hmm. Been through a variation of this. Your bills, expenses and anything else including lost wages and pain/suffereing ought to be covered in the final settlement. This is what you have a lawyer for: to determine all that, project for any future medical cost, pain and suffering etc. Don't let them pressure you into signing the settlement before the lawyer gives you the OK.

Your personal health insurance should NOT go up.

In my case, it was an auto/auto situation with the other driver one hundred percent at fault. My auto insurer handled all the bills and then went after the other guy for reimbursement, I was completely out of the loop on that after I had provided my claim info. I am not sure how health insurance works, but given that every time we do anything to ourselves we have to fill out one of those "who can we sue/who might have some liability here" forms, I would think you could work withyour health insurer. ???

FWIW, an average percentage for a lawyer to take in these cases is around 30%.

33%
And he said that Anthem will wait till after the settlement, and then ask me to send them thier poritiion of the settlement.

Well, I'm apparently too stiff, so instead of 2/week, I now have to do 3/week
And the train schedule is such that I do better with my hours if I drive in

Fredwina - I did better with 3x per week on my shoulder. Kept things looser. I'd do even better if I continued my exercises after my therapy sessions were over......

good news, bad news
Good news
my attorney forward me a check for $400 from the insurance company to fix my bike and clothing
The bad news
I got told I need three more weeks of PT Maybe buying that bent is a good idea after all (If I can only get the settlement money)
