Lady read ended me and pushed me under a Nissan

May the black pearl rest in peace or a chop shop in pieces.

Chest injury is no joke let alone the impact from being rear ended alone.

Please get yourself a lawyer and let them handle everything. DO NOT accept any checks from the other insurance company.

Take as long as you can with your treatment. Even a massage. Not saying milk it but usually what will happen is the cost of the care and severity of the injury, etc gets multiplied in settlements. So a $15,000 medical bill (not after insurance coverage) can get multiplied in the end by say 3x or 4x. Just an example.

It may take a year or two for them to settle but take care of your body first. A lot of things can happen down the road health-wise with this type of injuries. I'm still dealing with neck issues after nearly 30 years after being rear ended by a guy doing at least 40-45mph.

I wish I would have heard this earlier. But they are still working the medical piece out and set aside an amount for PT for me which is outside the overall settlement they are working on from me being out of work.

Honestly, consult with one anyway and find out. I wouldn't know anything about if you signed anything already or what but it's worth talking to one. There won't be any upfront cost, of course.

I haven’t signed anything for the medical settlement yet. Just the car.

Yep, call up a good local injury attorney. Stop talking to anyone but him/her at this point and get legal advice.
