Answer 1

impreshun, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I was injured once in Florida when a van backed over my left foot at work. My employer attempted to settle with me fast because they knew it wasn't my fault. I called a recommended personal injury lawyer in my area who gave me great advice and I was able to get a medium sized settlement to cover my hosptial bills that weren't covered by my work insurance. I'd find a personal injury in your area. http://www.accidentlawyerlocator.com My personal injury lawyer was willing to answer any and all questions I had because they stand to make some money at the same time. Try visiting a injury lawyer to see if they can help.



Heop everything works out.

Answer 2

It depends upon the case. Some personal injury cases can take years before a settlement is reached while others just months. Full compensation sometimes requires the case to go to a trial.  

Answer 3

I have seen trials last half a day and i have seen them last years.  There is no way to answer.  As to whether you get a lot of dough, as no one here knows anything about your case, any answer you get will be worthless

Answer 4

trial might take 2-4 years

expect about 25% of what you are suing for.
