When and where did the accident happen? It is absolutely worth a second opinion.
You should definitely get a second opinion. Where do you currently live and are you seeking any further medical treatment? For an absolutely FREE consultation please feel free to contact me at the office at 347-702-4133 or by email at [email protected].

NY requires you to prove a "serious injury" before you can obtain compensation for pain and suffering in a motor vehicle accident. Does not appear you qualify.
There is nothing wrong with obtaining a gratuitous second opinion. You may call me after 6:00 P.M. to discuss your injuries and current physical condition. It is also important who you consulted with first; a seasoned personal injury attorney, novice or someone who has another legal specialty.
NY law requires that an injury be considered "serious" for the victim to sue for pain and suffering damages. This is likely the reason behind your lawyer's rejection of the case. There is no disadvantage to getting a second opinion from a qualified attorney. VTY, MEZ
