What is the name of your state?Ohio
We were in a hit and run accident in N. Carolina. We were stopped at an intersection yielding to an ambulance that was going through the intersection with lights and sirens. We were rear-ended by another car. The driver left the scene. The paramedics witnessed the accident and called the police. We filed a report with them. My medical bills have been paid by my insurance company under the uninsured motorist part. The accident happened in May 2004. I am still having medical problems and my insurance company's medical advisor says I should be healed by now and they quit paying my bills. They also want to know what I want for a settlement. I have to be examined by a physician that my insurance company has chosen. Should I get a lawyer? Also, an ad on TV by a law firm is advising people to get settlements from accidents before April 2005 due to tort reform. Would this affect an accident that happened before the laws are changed?
