What should I expect for my broken-leg insurance claim (in Canada)?

Why are you bothering the insurance company about this?\n\nYou are Canadian, your health costs were covered, so you don't need the insurance involved unless you wanted semi or private hospital rooms...\n\nIf you want to sue the college you don't do it through your insurance company you do this through a lawyer.\n\nYour actions seem a little confusing to me...\n\nI also think you are trying to make a big deal of a fluke accident.  But if you've already came to some kind of an arrangement with your college...\n\nI broke my leg doing martial arts.  I "suffered" much, but it was a fluke accident.  I was off my feet for 20 weeks (no operation - tib and fib break) with another 6 weeks of physio before I was walking fine with a cane, then 4 more weeks of walking without a cane.  After a year I can finally run...

I believe that the insurance company will handle this appropriately. Call the drivers insurance company to make a claim (you can do this even if you are not the insured, the info should be in the police report). Then get estimates (including labor for installation from a handy man service and a lawn care company for lawn repair. This will help you negotiate with the insurance company. I am sure you will do just fine. These are not major expenses and they should just take care of it quickly. Make sure you have a check in hand before you sign any releases though. Good Luck!

Aflac is great. Eight years ago I broke my leg and was off work for 4 months. Thankfully I had Aflac. I had the short term disability and the accident policies. I received over 7,000 and it sure did help. And the agents were very nice and helpful. I think it is a great company.

Talk with your friendly local insurance agent.  It may be possible to get liability insurance for this, but it's going to be expensive.  \n\nLiability waivers are usually not worth the paper they're written on, and probably won't stand up in court.\n\nI prefer to deal on a "satisfaction guaranteed" sale policy... Buy the bike, then take a test ride, and if you don't like it, we'll cancel the sale and take it back. Of course, if you wreck it, it's yours...

Thats a decision to be made with your lawyer. Usually, its how much you feel you should get to cover damages (to the car, and of course, yourself/medical bills) as well as the time away from your child, if you fell you can place a price on that. Your accident lawyer should help you set reasonable goals.

Hi,  In the city where I live we have a place called American Disabilities Associations, They should be able to tell you where you can get it repaired.   When I had my arm repaired I took it to a place called SCOPE,  between my Medicare and insurance it did not cost me anything.

Ouch! When no void comes to a settlement with insurance, your best best would get a injury lawyer.  In most case you will WIN and don't have to pay a lawyer one cents.  Check with the law bar in San Fransico and ask the clerk to find you good rate lawyer who wins win.  Hopefully they will have someone contact you.  Good luck, i would file, because I had to in the past when I was in a car accient and it was the cop fault.  Had to sue the city!

actually I just had a training session on this, if your carpal tunnel is permananent they have to treat it as a disability, however if it is a temporary condition usually compared to a broken leg, then your employer is required to make reasonable accomodation for you. As far as other employers when asked why you need to explain. If you are the best qualified then you should be hired, I think you and the poster that was fired after the 12 weeks needs to contact the EEOC and have them do an investigation. Most companies do not want to have them involved and are ready to settle, also FYI if they are found negligible you are eligible for $300,000 for each incident.

Was a report made when you fell? If not when you go back to work make sure they are aware of what happened and that they file a report with home office. Then go to see an attorney and explain the situation to him.Bring your doctors statements or copies if you don't have them don't worry he will get them. He will be glad to take your case for a percentage if he feels you have one. Be sure you find an attorney who specializes in labor laws. Be sure to take the two days off that your doctor advised you to do.I believe they may only be able to deduct it off just this time only for the same incident, depending on the laws in your state. But don't make the mistake of letting them screw you over and don't worry about your new job they will have to compensate if they do you wrong. Follow the advice of your attorney. Find one who will offer a free consultation with you.

Disability insurance purchased individually is expensive. Also, if you are an independent consultant, be sure that your disability payment will be based on your past earnings -- perhaps a five year running average. Otherwise, if you have a bad year, your disability insurance could get away with paying you little or nothing if you ever actually need it. \n\nYou can only get coverage up to a certain percentage of your income. Even if you get as much disability insurance as possible, in most areas of Canada and the US, you can only collect a maximum of 80% of your pre-disability income. Your lowest cost option will be for a policy that will provide you with 60% of your income. Given that you are getting this policy individually, and are paying for it with after tax dollars, any payments to you will be tax free.

Hi!  I fell off of a loading dock, at work a few years ago.  I landed on my knee and broke the patella and did some other damage.  I was in a full-length plaster cast for 9 long months.  After that I had to have intesive rehab therapy.  \n\nI was given an amount of $US 16,600.  This was a one time payoff.\nHope this answers your question.  If you wish, email me and I'll get into some more detail.  Good Luck.

Keep track of dates, times, hospital visits, witnesses, the more you have the better your case will be. Do not be intimidated by superiros trying to put you off claiming for it. Get in touch with a solicitor for advise and state your case. \nAndif you go for it never accept the first two offers for compensation. I think (but check up on this) that after the refusal of the third offer it goes to court. \nLastly be prepared for a long wait, i was injured in a bike accident and it took two years before I seen anything.

The only thing I can suggest is to get some advice from a lawyer or from your town/county/state legal assistance office.\nYou must have a pretty awesome mortgage company though, if they'd even care; mine didn't, even though I was laid up with a broken leg and couldn't work, and all I asked them for is to wait a few days until I got some insurance money.

Take the police report to your doctor. Your insurance might not pay, but the doc should refill the script.\n\nYou can copy the report and send it to your insurance company if they don't pay.\n\nBeen there, done that.\n\nLast ditch effort, it will cost you but it is better than going cold turkey, go to the emergency room and tell them your knee is killing you and you need meds and can't wait for your doc.
