It really depends on your state statutes.\n\nBut generally it can take as little as a few weeks to a couple years.\n\nBe sure to answer the summons so they do not get a default judgment against you.\n\nLearn your rights, learn how to fight a law suit.\n\nIf you are not up to fighting on your own, get a lawyer. But I would still recommend that you learn your rights.

Most states a report has to be filed within 24-72hrs of the accident otherwise no claim has to be paid.  This allows evidence, documentaion, etc to be collected.  It also allows there to be shown a connection between an accident and the injury.

In most states including Arizona a plaintiff has 3 years to file a claim or lawsuit against a third party. It sounds like this was done and now they are attempting to collect for damages. Note: An un-satisfied debt's deragotory credit rating will usually stay on one's credit report for seven years.

If you called the hotline, and they put you in the hospital, it was most likely an involuntary psyche ward.\nThat is the legal procedure. You were a danger to yourself, and you were locked up in the hospital. I am surprised they only kept you for 3 days. Consider yourself lucky. \n\nIn short, you can't sue.

I realize it's not the answer you want, but it takes as long as the insurance company wants it to.  They can drag it on forever if they want.\nRead the book or watch the movie John Grisham's "The Rainmaker"

From personal experience it takes four hours. The swelling comes first. The bruise appearence follows later.

if it goes on for more than 4 hours  - seek medical attention as the loss of all that bloodflow to your meager brain will cause brain cells to start dying

Every state has there own version of workers comp laws which in my opinion is utterly ridiculous however, most seem to have a common guideline.\nIn NYS, you are entitled to your own physician and his/her decisions and treatment generally prevail. However, the state permits IME's for the insurance companies to which they have abused the privilage beyond comprehension! In most instances, the judges will rule in favor of your physician but we do have a couple of "insurance" judges hearing cases and filling their pockets as we all know how the system works!\nI would complain LOUDLY to my own doctor and request an MRI and possibly a second opinion from a neurologist who specializes in that field.\nDO NOT LET THE INSURANCE COMPANY DOCTOR TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE!!!!! He gets paid by the insurance company so he is naturally going to write what they would like to hear! It is his "bread and butter" to which he could care less about you! It's sort of the "American" way---MONEY FIRST-MORALS LATER!!!!Keep in mind you are putting your future in someone elses hands that has one thought and one thought only---MONEY!!!!!!\nYou have an entire life ahead of you that this injury may come back to haunt you in the future so make darn sure you take that in to account NOW!!!! STAND YOUR GROUND! GET A COMP ATTORNEY ASAP!!!!!!

It depends on what the judge set at the trial.  It could be anywhere from 2-5 years.  You need to find out what time frame the judge gave.

You probably suffered a concussion.  Please see a doctor to be sure.  At the very least, he/she will give you something stronger for your headaches.  If you do have a concussion, the headaches can last for quite sometime.  You  need to be checked out to be sure that you don't also have a slow bleed.

The ONLY person you probably have a good lawsuit against is your wife. Sorry, but it's the truth. If she fell asleep at the wheel, then she is the reason you were injured.  The hospital and ER can only do so much. An expert will tell you that car accident victims often find glass under their skin for several months after the accident. Plus, what was the real damage done by the ER?  They didn't put the glass there, they simply would have removed it sooner.  \n\nNow, on the other hand, if you're hell bent on a lawsuit, sue your wife AND the trucker. The insurance companies for both will most likely you pay you SOMETHING.  The question is whether you'll get enough to pay the attorneys' fees.  If you don't have any injuries other than some additional glass, you're not going to get any money. Sorry.  \n\nMy last piece of advice is this, see if your wife's auto insurance has a medpay provision. It might be as simple as you filing a claim and them reimbursing you.
