I have posted here before so I will attempt to keep it short and sweet! January 2005 I was rear ended. 100% other persons fault. Medical Bills $35,000 damage to vehicle $4000. Treatments: Lower back surgery L4-5 for herniated disk, Radiofrequency neuroablation(burning nerves in lower back), Steroid injections in lower back and left hip. 2 mri's 1 CT scan, 75 physical therapy appointments, 1 IME definetly in my favor and other appointments, but you get the idea. Still have lower back pain and left hip pain and still under pain management care.
1992 MVA 10 fractured ribs, fracture wrist, T-7,8,9 compression fracture, dislocated right elbow. Discharged military 30% disability for right elbow, mid back.
For years have taken anti-inflammatory becasue all of the aches and pains especially when physically active like running or riding bike.
In October 2004 I went to My PA because of lower back pain she prescribed vicodin November 2004 requested refill for still had pain. She gave me s script to get X-rays, but I never had gotten them that was the end of that and then of course the rear ended accident in January 2005 and the rest is history.
So my PA treated me in 2004 for some back pain which I knew was just flaired up from running and exercising. A certified Orto surgeon did my IME and he said it was a new injury.
I was offered by the insurance company $35,000 in which they would not budge so I then attained an attorney. They are a reputable attorney firm. They dont advertise injury law because they are a high profile company and so they dont want to seem as a car chasers.
They only think the case will be worth about 50-60,000 without going to trial. reason being of course having been seen in 2004.
I just find it difficult to understand that there were no tests done doctors notes do not mention why I was complaining of back pain, IME says its new, 35,000 medical bills, Lawyer says does not help with county we are in? Still have pains, no longer running or exercising lost over 10,000 lost wages. Is my lawyer accurate or do I need a new attorney?
