Auto injury, no pain relief due to prior (medically documented) narco

[Janiece H]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Auto injury... no pain treatment possible due to narcotic allergy.

I am a Missouri resident. I have been on disability for 18 years, and have chronic pain. I was injured in an auto accident 1 year ago, other driver in a company vehicle was responsible for accident. I received physical therapy and chiropractic care for 3 months, and had no pain treatment, or pain relief, other than Tylenol, and Lidocaine patches, because I am physically unable to tolerate any type of narcotic, due to an allergic reaction that was established by 2 pain treatment clinics.
Is there a legal precedent that you are aware of for pain and suffering? Of course, the insureds' company is offering a very low amount since I did not break any bones.
Thank you for any information you might have.

You almost make it sound as if you had chronic pain prior to the accident.

That's not really going to make a difference in your settlement. It will be based on length of treatment and if any permanent damage was done.
