Ryan S Montgomery’s Answers

Big companies have lawyers and head/brain injury cases can be difficult. You asking the question means you already know the answer. Call a lawyer

Hi there. Couple questions to help me answer a little better. What do you mean once your claim is confirmed? Do you mean settled? Also, is it a property damage claim or bodily injury or both?

Yes! This could be a workers comp claim and he would get 100% of medical coverage. Contact an experienced South Carolina workers comp attorney. The consultation is usually free, at least with me it is. Ryan Montgomery www.RyanMontgomeryLaw.com

The other driver. He/she then sends it to his/her insurance company. Insurance company is who would ultimately pay if you win

Yes you can. However, my recommendation is to email/call that attorney and say I am getting ready to fire you because you don't respond. Hopefully that will change the approach of that attorney.

You would apply for Social Security Disability based upon the accident and being unable to work 18 months. Medicare comes with that. Medicaid is based on income and I think you can apply any time. Here are some SSDI FAQ and answers http://www.ryanmontgomerylaw.com/Social-Security-Disability/Social-Security-Disability-FAQ.shtml

Yes. Some times people don't feel the affects of an injury until later on - a couple to few days is normal further out you get worse it looks

Yep. Here is everything you need to know: http://www.ryanmontgomerylaw.com/blog/2013/03/how-to-fight-low-ball-property-damage-estimates.shtml Let me know if that helps.

Well you were not at fault so in theory you do. I see you are in Greenville which can be very conservative in verdicts and payouts on soft tissue cases. You should be able to get you medical bills covered and then maybe a little in your pocket. An experienced injury attorney can help reduce the medical bills as well so you put more in your pocket.

Probably throw the book at you. You weren't shook up- you didn't want to get in trouble. Now, they could charge you with fleeing the scene, driving on a suspended license (is it the first time?) the may try and say you contributed to the accident, etc. So instead of paying a fine for not having a license you will still get that plus other charges now.
