Did you give any thought to how that title line would look? Ok humor aside finding an injury Lawyer is easy open the yellow pages or turn on the TV

You should be thankfull that your baby and your family are ok. What Hip injury? What are your damages?

3 times while I was pregnant, I was rearended. I never sued. I am in constant pain.

And what does that have to do with OP? Just because you chose not to pursue what you were legally entitled to doesn't mean other people shouldn't.

And you can still get chiropractic treatments or physical therapy when you're pregnant.

have you presented your complaints to your ob/gyn? has your doctor said the "pains" you have are related to the accident or to your pregnancy?

Don't they normally wait until after the baby is born, to make those determinations?

Not necessarily, they may be able to tell the difference between normal baby pains and accident pain. Especially anything in the neck or upper back is unlikely to be pregnancy related. Plus at only 20 weeks, baby-induced sciatica is less likely to have begun. It's probably not a good idea to wait another 5-6 months before even STARTING to treat the accident-injuries (because she definitely won't be up for physical therapy right after giving birth either) just because the soft tissue damage will be that much harder to heal, the longer it goes untreated.
