Indiana. I was a seatbelted passenger in my future in-laws car during an accident where I was severely injured. It was my future in-law's (the driver's) fault. I was visiting them from out of state during the accident and now I am back to my house on the East Coast. Medical bills for me are currently around 200,000 and I am still receiving weekly treatment, it has been over six months. The insurance company has been paying me loss wages and covering my medical bills and has assured me a "fair settlement" when the claim is ready to be settled. They have not rushed a settlement and say they are waiting for me to be done with all medical treatment before offering their claim (for my benefit). However, now they want to hire me a personal nurse case worker to, in their words, "make sure I am receiving the best care possible"... Personally, I don't mind having an unbiased nurse around to ask the questions I don't think of, however, I don't know how likely it is that the nurse will be un-biased. What are my legal rights ? How should I handle this situation. Is this standard practice?
Also, Is there any legal/settlement reason why I should not get married to my fiance while the claim is unsettled?(In other words, will I be giving up any power as claiment if I am legally part of the family?)
Thanks for any help
