Don't sign any papers until you have consulted a lawyer. Make sure you have a doctor check your head and neck out.

Hope your back gets better instead of worse .... never know with a back injury though ....

Had a friend's wife who broke her back, she didn't know it at the time, so just lived her life, eventually, she gave in and went to the doc ..... was too late, needed massive surgery and still has back problems to this day...

Anyhow ... go to doc, don't risk a hidden back injury that you can't sense right now ... cause you might really really regret it in a few years...

Dude, you are lucky to be alive. Definitely get in contact with a doc though.

Jesus, the guy wakes up the next day, says he feels fine and you all want him to see a lawyer. If he is OK, why the need to get a lawyer and sue? Simply an opportunity to get money for no reason?

Then everyone wonders why the north american economy went into the dumpers while thinking they could have a new house, a new car, a new boat and a reacreational home ... all without earning it.

Drives me nuts.

That's the American way. Why do you hate America?

LOL how in America everyone's first reaction to a minor vehicle accident is "lawyer/doctor/court room".

Pain knows the stapler, do not compress the handles for the flesh is delicate and the car is fast. So retract the pen before the straw penetrates the sandy fruit.

In these cases, it is easy to be known a pain in any part of a very important component of the compression process of the car. Before the invasion of strawberries, withdrew a pen from the sand. ^_^

But seriously, I remember what happened to Billy Mays; plus there was that kid on CSI a couple of weeks ago. D: Go see a doctor!

congratulations, you're going to be rich


As someone who defends these types of cases...no, he's not going to be rich. After he goes to his third lawyer, he'll find someone who JUST passed the bar and will give him the following advice: Keep seeing your doctor, even if you aren't hurt, that way when they ask about your treatment, it'll look good. The short-sleeved polyester shirted deadbeat lawyer will refer him to a no-fault massage/chiro/qi mill and the 5 yr process begins. The atty will realize 5 years from now that the case blows goats and will call me begging for $750 because his case doesn't pass threshold...then comes the sad summary judgment motion...I win. then plaintiff will be out pocket money, 5 years of his life will have been spent thinking about his millions, and he will join the "idiots-who-took-the-file-the-lawsuit" advice...

But it does put food on my table...so file a lawsuit ()

I feel the same way. I didnt see a lawyer or anything. I felt fine, there is no reason to file a lawsuit. I still feel fine now.

Are you talking specifically to lawsuits where the plaintiff isn't injured or in general? I think it would suck if I got nailed by a tailgating truck and actually suffered a lot of pain without compensation.

Consider yourself fortunate! My dad's head shakes a bit side-to-side from an accident in 1996 when his truck was rear-ended. :'( The therapy and the pills couldn't correct it.
