I was involved in an auto accident recently in the state of Mississippi, my fiance was driving and I was in the passenger seat.
A 17yr old girl took her eyes off the road to search for something in her floorboard. She veered into the opposite lane and struck us head on.
Both my fiance and myself had our seatbelts on. The injuries were fairly minor and I would have no problem settling now except that I am pregnant.
When the accident occured, I was 20 weeks gestation (roughly 5 months pregnant). I went straight to the hospital, and found I was Rh positive and that my body was beginning to attack the fetus due to the trama I had just suffered. They gave me a shot and released me the same day. No harm seemed to have come to the baby. 2 days later i was readmitted, the round ligament on my left side had been pulled in the accident and had finally ripped. I was given a shot and told to stay off my feet for a couple weeks.
My question is this: With my medical bills near 2000 dollars, what sort of recompense should I expect for the complications that arose due to the accident? (I was told by the ER doctor that if I had not come into the hosptial, there would have been a 80% chance of miscarraige due to the Rh factor.)
