October 5th,2011 my husband was rear eneded by a dr. pepper commercial vehichle while sitting in traffic. Dr. pepper asmotted to 100% at fault. Our car was totaled. He has multiple levels of disc protrusions. He had therapy, epidural injections and now will be having surgery next,month on the 15th. He also was approved for permanent disability. Also he has a concussion with swelling in his left ear. My question is how does becoming disable adds value to his case?
It adds to the value of the case significantly, assuming the disability is related to the accident. Assuming you have a competent attorney who finds the right expert witnesses for your case, and develops the facts of the case appropriately, your husband's disability should be included as a large part of any settlement.
I'd be happy to discuss this with you in more detail if you want.
It adds considerable value to his claim. If he does not already have an attorney (which he should have by now), feel free to call us to discuss your husband's case. We charge a percentage fee and if we do not obtain a settlement you owe our firm nothing. All calls confidential. Check out my website here on .

Your husband is allowed recovery for medical expenses, but also for lost wages, physical impairment, pain, and mental anguish. If he is disabled, then he is going to have more lost wages, more physical impairment, more pain probably, and more mental anguish than someone who is not disabled. So if his disability is related to the collision, he will be allowed a larger recovery than someome not disabled.

If your husband is disabled and can't work, you have a huge lost wage component. You can read more about protusions and truck accidents on my website. Good luck.

It is a complicated argument but should add value to the case, assuming that the disability is at least in part due to the accident in question. There are a lot more details needed to make a proper evaluation and answer your question. You really should discuss this issue with a personal injury attorney in your area. The consultation is free and at no obligation.

I am sorry to hear about your husband's situation. I think there is more value to the case, not because he has been declared disabled, but because of the injuries themselves that render him disabled. If the jury is allowed to hear that your husband was approved for permanent disability, which is not guaranteed, it could be helpful. I'm not sure this approval ever sees the light of day in the courtroom, but the jury will certainly hear about the debilitating injuries that have led to his being declared permanently disabled. I hope this makes sense.
On another note, I would encourage you to hire a lawyer if you have not already done so. Whether it is my firm, or another, hiring a reputable personal injury lawyer will help your husband in more ways than you can count, and will almost assuredly result in a larger recovery for him.
You also have a claim for something known as loss of consortium, which I would encourage you to make with the help of a lawyer. Essestially, loss of consortium means loss of compansionship, support and male-female relations.
We would be happy to talk to you for free. Our number is 972-960-0000. If we don't hear from you, I wish you and your husband the best.

I am really sorry to hear about your husband's injury and disability. I sincerely wish that you and your family will recover from this tragic accident. As you can see, the facts of your case raise a great deal of interest among personal injury lawyers given the numerous responses so far.
A disability adds value to a case based upon the inability of your husband to work and earn wages. Additionally, his disability increases the value of his pain, suffering, and metal anguish, not to mention his future medical expenses.
I would strongly recomment that you contact a Dallas pesonal injury lawyer as soon as possible. You are dealing with a commercial insurance policy. Trust me when I tell you that the insurance company will fight "tooth and nail" to protect that policy from your husband's claim.
My phones are answered 7 days a week. Feel free to call me if you would like to talk about your husband's case. I would be glad to personally consult with you and your husband and answer any questions you may have. If it is inconvenient for your husband to travel, I also make home visits if necessary.
Anytime that an injury results, there are associated costs to treat the injury. Obviously the more severe the injury, the more costs of treatment there are and accordingly an increase in the value of the claim. If the injury is so severe that it results in permanent physical impairment then the cost need to reimburse for that physical impairment increases. There are several professional experts that we routinely use in determining what the future costs (medical, economic, emotional, ect.) are and how best to provided continuing treatment. The most import thing is that you hire a competent attorney, preferably board certified in personal injury trial law to assist you and your husband. These are very complicated matters and you don't want to leave it up to just any lawyer.
I wish you and your husband the very best and if we can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate in contacting us.
