What is the name of your state? PA
After an accident when a large object in a store fell on me, I've been waiting for a jury trial for 5 years. After it was finally scheduled, the judge called for a pre-court attempt to settle. The insurers offered me less than my medical expenses (I refused)which were covered by medicare & medicaid. They (the state) expects compensation out of a settlement + my legal expenses. I went through an anterior cervical disksection, C5,6 & 7 & have a titanium plate. I still suffer daily pain after almost 6 years. I am a senior citizen with osteoarthritis like most seniors in the world. I am being told that perhaps I would have needed the surgery anyway although I never had the neck or upper back pain before the accident. I can't understand why the settlement offer would have left me in debt and nothing for my pain & suffering. Now, my attorney said that the judge wants to try to settle out of court again and my jury trial has not been rescheduled. What in the world is going on? I feel that I am not being treated fairly.
