What is the name of your state? Nevada
I was crossing the street to go to work last month, when I was hit by a car going approximately 40 MPH in a 35 MPH zone, breaking both of my legs and two vertebra in my neck.
I was ticketed for jaywalking, (in the emergency room, no less) and the driver, who according to a witness, ran a red light, was speeding, and made no attempt to avoid hitting me on a 6 lane road, was not ticketed. She also made statements such as "How much is this gonna cost me?" at the scene, while I was bleeding profusely from my head and trying to crawl out of the road.
We are in the process of trying to get the driver cited by the local police department.
I am having a hard time getting help from charities or social services, and the lawyers I've talked to have refused to even talk about my case with me, saying I was "51.1% at fault" without knowing the details of the case.
Any help would be very much appreciated, from legal advice, to any organizations that can help.
Thank you.What is the name of your state?
