Do I have to pay him the rest? What do I do if the chiropractor is charging me double?

You've paid him what you think you owe him, but he thinks you owe more. He can take you to small claims court. If he does, you should show up at the appointed time and place and explain why you don't owe him anything more. He can explain why he thinks you should pay more and then it's up to the court to determine who's right.

Do I sue the person or the company of the person who hit me?

Travis S Prestwich
Answered by attorney Travis S Prestwich (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Swanson Lathen Prestwich, PC
The claim would be against the other driver. His insurance company has a contract with him to defend him in any lawsuit and indemnify (pay out) any claims he is responsible to pay. No direct action can be made against the insurance company. Hopefully you have his license plate number or some information on which to go. Assuming you do, you should contact an attorney because even small claims can be handled by an attorney under statutes designed specifically for smaller claims.

Can I sue the manufacture for my airbags not deflating and sustained skull neck and back injuries due to this?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Lindsay Gordon Leavitt (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Jennings, Strouss & Salmon, P.L.C.
Before going after Ford and the airbag manufacturer, you should think about pursuing claims against the negligent driver and your own insurance carrier. Did the negligent driver stop? Did you exchange information? If so, you could likely pursue a personal injury claim against him/her. If the negligent driver did not stop, and you have no way of locating him/her, you should pursue a claim under your UM coverage. The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that unidentified accident-causing drivers are deemed uninsured by law. Therefore, your insurance carrier must treat that accident as if the other driver was uninsured. This triggers UM coverage you have, if any. You should contact a personal injury attorney immediately to explore your options before pursuing Ford and the airbag manufacturer.
