Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
Auto Accident 11/19/02 - I was injured passenger
I was a passenger in a car that went off the frwy and hit a guard rail & wall.
The car was not drivable but the driver called a tow truck & not the police. He
never submitted a claim.He was driving too fast. I was in the backseat &
discovered a few weeks later that I had back and neck problems.I have not
hired an attorney, the insurance company of the driver has reimbursed me for
expenses so far, but I have concerns about statutes, etc. Do I need to hire an
attorney? I have not had much relief from my injuries,I require frequent
medical & PT, my MRI shows some problems & I am afraid this can go on for
years.It's difficult for me to hold a full time job because of the pain & as a
student I have had to obtain disabilty exceptions for my classes. Please advise
me as to what I should do and how.

The easy answer is that you should have gotten an attorney to start with. It is not too late, but is getting there. The Statute of limitations is a concern that could bar your recovery. Feel free to conact me if interested in getting honest and experienced representation.
Re: Auto Accident 11/19/02 - I was injured passenger
Yes--you do have to be concerned with statutes and time limits. And other things--are you getting the proper medical care, are all your claims being documented properly, should you get different medical care?---If you have health ins and your own auto ins, how does that factor in?
Sounds like you need an experienced PI atty to handle and coordinate all these things for you. If you are in So. CA, call me at 714-963-5123. I'll provide a free consult to get a game plan going.
