Parking lot accidents are no fault and you don`t lose points. Your insurance is usually not affected because charges are not laid.

Q. How do you explain a gap in work history on a resume? the gap is a result of personal injury in an accident.? - the injury was a serious neck injury and i wonder if any potential employer would even consider hiring me with the knowlege that i have broken my neck.
"What if you have a work place injury..."
I understand the dilemma you're facing as some one that has injuries myself. You need to be upfront and honest for your own sake. What if you have a work place injury? Don't say never. If that happens you will be seeing their doctors for a complete medical. As my barrister told me when I was worried about this same question...if you lie and your employer finds out, it's grounds for instant dismissal. If you hurt yourself again in a work place, you will not be covered for workers compensation because you lied. Even if they were to pay you , it could severely hurt your case.
A lot of jobs now ask on their employment forms have you had any previous injuries & illnesses or claims for workers comp. A lot also require you to undergo a medical before they will hire you. Now you and I both know you're not going to be able to fool a dr with your injury.

Q. I had an accident at work .....? - i had an accident at work and the result of it is amputation of my left ring finger. how much should i get as a reward?
You don't get a reward for having your finger chopped off.
What you get, assuming workers comp is covering this, is medical bills, and partial disability payment, depending on how MUCH of the finger you lost, and your state laws.
There is no "pain and suffering" with workers comp.

Q. If a work related accident happened 30 years ago, only now effects you, can you still claim workmen's comp? - this is an odd situation. my father has worked for the same company as a machinist for 41 years. 30 years ago he was running a drill press and the bit broke off and flew into his arm, right near the carpal tunnel area of his wrist. the company still has a written record of this accident. the doctor that the company sent him to said that it would be best to leave the piece of drill bit in his arm, rather than operate in that sensitive area, if it didn't cause my father any pain. so for the past 30 years he's had that bit in his arm and it caused no trouble at all.
he had an mri done a few months ago and he warned the doctors about the bit in his arm. they x-rayed and decided it was safe to go ahead with the mri. not long after the mri he began having serious pain in his wrist. while it can't be proven, the theory is that the mri caused the drill bit to shift in position. it began causing severe pain and it was determined that it had to be removed.
my father developed rheumatoid arthritis several years ago and that complicated the operation. after the surgery my father developed severe swelling and pain that has gone on for several weeks. it now appears that an arthritic cyst formed in the area where the drill bit was and he is close to losing the use of his right hand. he is scheduled for further surgery next week.
this obviously resulted from accident with the drill bit 30 years ago - that accident was documented by the company and he followed the advice of the company doctor to leave it in place - but now they are saying that it is too late to claim workmen's comp, that there is some "statute of limitations."
is this true, or is the company trying to weasel out of this? if there is such a time limit it seems quite unfair in this situation - my father has a stellar 41 year work record and this all resulted from an injury sustained at work 30 years ago, now he may lose the use of his right hand.
ok, so the original dr. could not have foreseen the complication, what about a case against the doctor who authorized the mri? malpractice? my father may lose the use of his right hand because of this, and its clearly not his fault, does he have some recourse?
yeah, obviously worker's comp is out of the question. however every nurse and doctor who has seen the x-ray of the drill bit has said they never would never have authorized an mri. on top of that - as i said this has been going on for several weeks - the original surgeon was convinced that the complications were related to his arthritis and just kept draining fluid without bothering to test for an infection. so my father went to another doctor and guess what - the whole problem has been some type of bacterial infection that occurred during the surgery - but the original surgeon refused to believe that was possible and never tested for it. so if things go bad and he loses the use of his hand, it will just be a matter of who to sue for malpractice. thanks for everyone's input.
Sorry but statute of limitations is two years in most states. The only way he can file the claim is to file it and see what happens. It doesn't hurt and there is no shame in it. You might want a copy of the incident report so it proves a injury did take place. File it and see what happens. There's a 95% chance that it will lose but you never know.
As for the MRI, you might want an attorney to take a look at this. The doctors knew about the screw but did the scan anyways. You do have a small malpractice suit and I would follow up on that.
Good Luck

Q. Has anyone had anything similar to this before as a result of a car accident? - on 12/26 i was in a minor accident but was fine for 2 1/2 wks. then i got a bad constant ha. now i'm at 7 wks of constant migraine & neck/occipital nerve pain. i've tried countless meds all of which have failed to work. i've been seeing a chiropractor who said i have severe whiplash but has not been able to fix the headache. i have been seeing a neurologist & he said my neck muscles have stretched/strained as a result of the accident, which irritated and inflamed my occipital nerve. he gave me a nerve block, which failed to work. now we are going to try physical therapy 2 x's/wk for four weeks.
has anyone had anything similar to this before as a result of a car accident?
as far as the accident itself, it was of no fault of mine. i was the passenger of the vehicle, my husband was the driver. no one was injured, and i did not seek medical treatment. it was not until weeks later was i found to be injured. at this time i am no seeking a lawyer.
any other other advice is welcome.
i did ask my primary care doctor to prescribe me some muscle relaxers to help the muscles to relax, so hopefully that will help too. i don't really grind my teeth, but sometimes i do clench my jaw.
This is a common happening of most extreme whiplash. It is always good to seek medical attention if it is an accident that caused your body to move in and unatural way. It will take some time as I have suffered in the past with this and often times still do. I do however find that if I sleep in differant positions that is has had effects on how I feel the next day. Headaches can also be caused by the stress of your neck muscles causing you to grind your teeth at night. It almost seems like you may require some muscle relaxers and or a night gaurd. You would be amazed at what grinding your teeth can do to you!!!!
