because they know that they will not win in court unless they can prove that is a life long injury. No court is going to give you thousands of dollars for a kink in the neck, and no lawer will take a case pro bona if they know there is no way that they can win.

Courts need to see "real" medical evidence that you're injured before they'll award you anything. Physical Therapists work only under the direction OF a doctor, and Chiro-quack-tic is just voodoo, so if you want to have a case, you need a doctor.

Let me see if I have this straight...
You want a lawyer to work without any upfront payment, to get a company to give you a bunch of money for an injury that a doctor won't say you have - presumably so that you don't have to work anymore.
If you find such lawyer give me his name because I'd like to retire early also....I have to sign off now because my carpal tunnel and hangnails prevent me from doing any further work...ouch...ouch...ouch...

youre going to need to find a second opinion from a doctor. no lawyer will take your case without proof of injury. you can also contact your local assembly member for further help.

No matter whether they ask now or later you need documentation to prove your case. You need to seek out another physician who will state you have an injury that needs rehab or you will get nothing.

go to a different doctor and get a second opinion. if you can't get a medical professional to agree with your "diagnosis", you aren't going to legally have the injury you claim to have.
