Legal Question
Auto Accident--I was Hit, taken to hospital, truck towed--what now?
I was driving to work in my truck when I was suddently hit by a car. There wasn't a stop sign or anything--the car just hit me from behind. I managed to control my truck from flipping over but blacked out afterwards. A man that works on the railroad helped me gain consciousness again. One of the CHP officers on the scene yelled that I must have been driving drunk since I am Mexican. To clarify, I was not drinking and would never drive drunk--much less to work.
I was taken by ambulance to the local hospital, given morphine, and was told to call my regular doctor on Monday. I did so, CT scans were ordered and I was told to rest at home The problem with resting at home is that I do not have a union at work. I am afraid that even through I have a doctors note I will be fired. I cannot afford to lose my job.
In regards to the accident, should their insurance cover all the damages--hospital, towing of my truck, not being able to go to work, etc? In regards to work, can I do anything if they do fire me?
