If I was hit by a car a week ago but received no medical treatment and no report was filed, if I'm now having trouble with my shoulder, what can I do?
Question Details:
I was on my bicycle. It was not a hit and run; the guy paid for the damage to the bicycle. I agreed he could just pay me and leave out his insurance because it was less than his deductible. I agreed to that b/c I thought I was fine. I have pictures of my bike and his truck from the night it happened. His license plate is in pictures but a bit fuzzy. I have his card with his name, number, address, and his place of employment. I don't want to re-neg on our agreement but it's pretty clear now that I am hurt. What should I do?
Although you made an agreement for the property damage, you have sustained injuries, which you did not expect.
If you are having pain, you should immediately go to the hospital or contact your primary care physician to have the injuries checked out.
At this time, you should contact a personal injury attorney to properly fill out the insurance paperwork so that you can get your medical bills covered, and see whether you have a claim for pain and suffering.
