I cant play this season (well at least until the eighteenth) and my coach put me on the varsity roster anyway. and im supposed to be on jv. what can i do while being injured to better myself and help the team and whatnot. yuo catch my drift

Depends what your injury is,but i can say work the part of the body that isnt injured. Obviously you have skills or the coach wouldn't have kept you on the Varsity roster through your injury.Ask the coach how you can help out instead of just watching.Take stats or help underskilled players or help them in weak areas that you know you are strong in,a one on one kind of thing.To other people,it might seem you are "brown nosing" but you can say that you aren't. You are just helping your team to get better and win.

I just had surgery for an injury from work,but before my surgery i was laid off. so does work comp start payin?

I still work for the same employer. But not sure what to do next about getting compensated while being unemployed for the season.

Provided your doctor has you on an off work status, you will get paid, and probably on a light duty release, however you will be obligated to look for work under your light duty restrictions. Even if you employer can never take you back, you still have coverage for this injury. A word of advice, don't milk the claim if you don't have a job to return to. The insurance carrier could do surveillance on you and/or set an Independent Medical Exam if they think you are dragging your off work status on too long. Nothing like telling your doctor you can't work and they have video of you on a bronco in a rodeo. Not saying you are going to do this, but I have filmed claimants in rodeos when they say their back hurts too much to work. I digress, happy recovery and return to employment.

My horse ripped my entire finger nail off two years ago. It has since healed and has never hurt since. Yesterday I woke up and my finger hurt under and around the nail. I didn't do anything to it at all. My husband suggested that it is the old injury. Is that possible? I don't know what else it could be. I am on keflex for a skin infection in my abdomen so I doubt it is some kind of infection. Any other suggestions?

I agree,it's true.I was thrown from a horse 12 years ago and broke my tail bone.Took for ever to heal.Several years later I began to have severe lower back pain.Due to the broken tail bone.I was thrown again about 2 months ago and nothing broke but in doing an M.R.I they found a bulging disc they say happened from the first time around.

What kind of injury is sustained from a horse bite to the hand?

If my hand's not broken then why do I have a buldged line running down my finger?

It's a crush injury. I had a teasing stud grab my upper arm once and lift me up, lot of blood and broken skin but the doctor said that the main damage due to the horses jaw and shape of teeth is that of a crush injury. Take painkillers and use ice and that's about all you can do. Avoid aspirin or ibuprofen as they can cause more bleeding and just make it worse. I still have ridges in my arm and the tissue is lumpy. It's scarred and you can see the teeth marks even after 7 years. Ice is really the best thing.

Is a physical injury lawsuit settlement taxable if it is paid out to heirs?

The person who filed the lawsuit died and his children received the settlement. Will they owe taxes on it?
It was paid out in a lump sum.

Was the settlement paid in a lumpsum or is it structured over time? If it is a structured settlement, the laws regarding how this is handled by the IRS have been clarified by federal legislation. In most cases, those payments are not taxable, but you will have to take a close look at the settlement agreement and the annuity contract that was issued.

Integrity Funding Sources works with structured settlements everyday, and helps recipients get clear about what their structured settlements are worth in todays dollars. If you need help calculating the value of your annuity, or how to convert that into cash, visit: http://www.integrityfunding.net

What percentage of injury accidents are side-impact accidents?

My hypothesis is that, although it is well-known that side-impact accidents are often serious accidents, the
RATE of accidents that are actually side-impact is very low. Why? Because almost all of the time, the cars involved are going in the same direction, which usually creates a rear-end collision, or they are going in the opposite directions, which creates a front-end or glancing collision. So, aside from the multibillion dollar industry in selling people airbags that are not necessary, what is the real, actual percentage of accidents that are side collisions?

Side-impact crashes account for nearly one of every four traffic fatalities, or 10,000 U.S. deaths each year. Nearly half of those deaths are from head injuries. And experts fear fatalities will rise as crashes involving trucks become more frequent.

To prevent head injuries, safety advocates favor a variety of measures. Automakers could reinforce doors and side pillars. They could lower the ride height of sport utility vehicles. Or they could design trucks with front ends that crush upon impact to absorb more force in a crash.

But these measures could hurt the performance and market appeal of trucks, so automakers are trying to improve side-impact airbag design

These injury lawyers that advertise on tv, are they really going after the person that caused the injury?

Or the insurance company that assumes the liability? and doesn't this drive up the premiums. This along with government regulation restricts activity and progress in all fields and hurts doctors the most. They add to the nanny state of sheepish wimps. So rather than planning and doing, we just sit and watch and grow fat dumb and not really happy.
Yes it is wise to have coverage, all I'm trying to say is that there are too many ambulance chasing lawyers. We knew this back when they were not allowed to advertise on tv.

It's unfortunate to hear about your situation. I was injured once in Vermont when a delivery truck backed over my right foot at work. My employer attempted to settle with me quickly because they knew it wasn't my fault. I called a nearby accident lawyer in my city who gave me excellent advice and I was able to get a small settlement to cover my medical bills that weren't covered by my primary 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 hope to make some money at the same time. Try calling a lawyer to see if they can help.

Sorry to hear about your situation.
