I was in a rear-end car accident roughly a year ago with head trauma to the head rest.
Unfortunately, this was NOT my first head trauma experience as I had head trauma 2.5 years prior which resulted in roughly 2 years of symptoms/PCS. The car accident brought back A LOT of symptoms. Most of which I still suffer with today. I hired a lawyer and got some PT for my neck through an orthopedist (who claimed I had a "neck sprain"). However, I visited a neurologist a few months after the accident and his report wasn't very generous as it relates to concussion or PCS. My lawyer claims the case for head trauma/headaches/PCS/etc isn't very strong because of that report and because I have a prior history. Fast forward to today. I've been offered a pretty nice settlement by the other driver's insurance company (pain and suffering for the "strained neck"). I'm not really interested in money. I'm more interested in having the protection knowing I can get my medical bills recouped. But at the same time, I'm not actively seeking treatment because I don't know who/what/where to go next. Is it even realistic to claim PCS this far out in the game? Or should I just sign the settlement and leave it at that? Any advice? |
