Legal Question
I was in a car accident on 12/21/09 and was not at fault. At the scene I did not feel as though I was injured by the next day I was in pain. I continued to go to work although I was in pain. Big mistake!
I went to the doctor the next day she examined me and put me on pain meds and muscle relaxants and told me to return if not better in a few weeks. In the meantime I was dealing with my car and with the anxiety and stress I was unable to sleep. I knew I could not afford a new car and there was a chance my car would be totaled. I drove a 96 toyota tercel with liability only so I had to pay $13 dollars a day for ins. and Alstate would not pay for it. I knew I couldn't afford that but I had no choice I had to get to work. I was so stressed I couldn't sleep. My injury was on the side I sleep on so that didn't help. Allstate took their good time making a decision on my car and after almost a month they decided to total it. I just got the check on the 23rd of Jan. Since I have had to go back to my doctor because I wasn't better so she started me on physical therapy. Now Allstate is saying they can't guarantee payment for my treatment an want me to file a claim with my insurance company or medical insurance. This is a mess and I need some direction. I am at my wits end and my sanity is at stake. Come to find out when I went to therapy i had displaced vertebrae in my neck which was causing my neck pain and my other pain was likely due to that. I am a nurse and my I need my body to be healthy in order to perform my job duties which means all of this depending on how I heal could affect my future ability to do my job. I need to know how to proceed and what is a fair settlement for my injury and pain and suffering.
