What do you do at an automobile accident?
Theodore G asked:
I recently came upon a significant automobile accident on a rural but busy divided highway. Many pieces of the car were scattered on the road, and the car was totaled (front end collosion with embankment). Although it is unclear, the driver must have sustained some significant injury. The car was not on fire. My cell phone was out of range. Do you try to remove the body from the car?

Where are the electrical components of an automobile located?
Simon Legree asked:
Automobile is very general so I would like to know the above except with the word automobile replaced compact car and SUV. What I means by electrical components is the parts of the car that either use or are run by electricity. Forget the lights, i’m talking abou things that my affect or are related to the engine or things that make cars move or help control the way they move.

Thanks ahead of time.
How much money should I ask for from the Insurance company for a settlement from an automobile accident ?
Homewrecker Blvd Demolition Inc. asked:
I was in an automobile accident in November 2006 which I was not at fault.I was hit head on by a driver running a stop sign.The next day I went to the Emergency room for shoulder pain.It was believed that I had whiplash and the pain would go away.The pain did not go away and about 2 weeks later I went back to the ER for a followup and I had Xrays done.After the Xrays an MRI was scheduled and the radiologist found that I had swollen bone marrow in my shoulder from the accident and osteoarthritis had quickly set in.Besides pain and pressure of my shoulder feeling like it was going to fall off, everytime I moved it grinded and was popping.I was sent to a bone/joint specialist and they recommended to excercise it by lifting weights to ease the pain. I went back 6 weeks later (today) for a followup and the pain has stopped but the popping/grinding has not.I will have the arthritis for the rest of my life.The insurance company wants to settle and I dont know a monetary $ value to tell them.
First of all the osteoarthritis WAS from the accident and I have proof from the radiologist that it was caused from tramatic injury aka the accident. I am only 22 I had no previous injuries or problems out of my shoulder. I even asked if it could have set in that fast after an accident and the radiologist and the specialist both agreed that it could even at my age. I just wanted an idea of a fair amount to ask for given my condition. I am not out looking for a get rich quick scam or anything.
