Make sure you're ok FOR REAL before you accept any sort of closure to this claim. I am permanently jacked up from two different rear end collisions that occurred inside one year. I was stopped, other car was going 50+ mph in bother instances. The discs between the three lowest vertebrae in my back are toast, all torn and bulging, and my SI joints dislocate and pinch my sciatic nerves at will. Instantly down (like can't stand up or walk without excruciating pain) for at least a week. Lost a $25/hour job because of it. Thankfully now I work at a desk, and thankfully my work allows me to work from home when I'm "down". Three weeks ago I was washing my Chevelle to go for a ride, and made a long sweeping pass with a cloth from rocker panel to roof and when I stood up I couldn't. Had to get help to get in the house. Had just wrenched my back or whatever and dislocated an SI joint, pinching the sciatic nerve in between the SI and my hip bone. You really cant stand or sit when this happens. Took the chiropractor 2 weeks to straighten me out. Basically I need bushings in my lower back. Everything is loose and can pop and crack out of place any time I move. I am ultra careful. No impact sports, no heavy lifting, no trampolines or go karts, etc. I am a father of three boys, and a workhorse, and an athlete, so a lot had to change. Suck. Once I jacked it up trying to change a toilet. Once getting up from being underneath a car. Once pouring the coal on my wife. Yup.
Ok. Sorry about the long story. My point? It didn't seem like anything was wrong right away. Insurance companies get RICH by taking advantage of people like you and me. Guess who pays now when I have to go to the chiropractor 8 times a week at $40 a pop. Not them, or the @€÷*& that was texting instead of braking. Get MRI's if you haven't, talk to a real doctor and stick up for yourself until you know they're taking care of you right, even if it means you have to get an attorney.
