I was a passenger of a car accident (not at fault party) back in December. I obtained whiplash (shown in x-rays) and have suffered with migraines, backaches, neckaches, and shoulderaches daily since then. I have been on multiple meds, tried physical therapy (4 months), chiropractic treatment (still going), cortisone shots, and nerve blocks, none of which have helpd. CT scan and MRI came out negative. Most recently I had my nerve endings burned with radio frequency. I am positive this make my pain go away, however it is not a permanant solution, it may only last up to a year. So far I have $12,000 in medical bills. I may need future care. How long after I am pain free should I settle? What can I expect to settle at? Also can I get future money for care without a lawyer? I am not looking at making a ton of money, but I have suffered quite a bit. It changed my life tremendously. I mess up the simplest of tasks because the pain and meds. I can't enjoy the things I would normally do.
