Should I get a lawyer or negotiate myself

[bellirng]

In January I was hit broadside in a parking lot in Ohio. The parking lot was not properly marked. I was advised by the responding officer that the establishment had been warned several times to put up stop signs. The other party was found at fault since I was going in a direction without any parking, and she did have a stop bar. First of all, is there any negligence on the part of the store owner? It is a very dangerous lot, and it is still not marked properly. Secondly, my injuries were minor, I had a sprained wrist and a concussion. I did have a pretty bad headache for about 2 weeks. I feel pretty good now, I do have some neck pain after working out, and I was diagnosed with TMJ (not sure if this has to do with the accident). I do not want to spend a lot of time at Chiropractors. I have been to my family doctor. My car was very damaged. The repair costs were over $8,000 on a 98 Ford Escort ZX2 (stupid to not be totalled). I do not see much value in this case and was considering negotiating on my own. I would like to know how to determine the value. I realize if I go to an attorney they will take 1/3, can they make it worth giving them the third? Thanks for your help!

Oh Gosh

Im sorry the only advice that I can help you with might be the TMJ. If you have been the the Dentist in the past, and there is no TMJ or mention of TMJ in yur charts then it was from the accident. My husband has it so bad from an accident from 15 days ago, that he has been the the ER twice for the pain. never saw a man cry from that much pain. Just last night I was there again so that makes it 3 times.. His jaw just snaps shuts when he goes to close it, and we can hear the grinding from the cartilige in the joints. he must have 6 months of treatments then surgery. Let alone the pain in his neck and back. He is in PT, but thta aggrivates the TMJ, which we were told it might. Good Luck. You might want to see a good orthodontist and he will ask for your past dentical records, so to make sure no past TMJ was there. That you might need a Lawyer for. because TMJ is very expensive to treat and most ortho's want the money now.
