A year ago I was a passenger in a car. A garbage truck ran a red light and rear-ended us. The license of the truck driver had expired. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance. One month later I had to have 3 pins placed in my hip, after 6 months it became infected, another surgery to remove the pins and 6 weeks at home antibiotics. Without the pins, my hip fractured clean through and resulted in a partial hip replacement. I've now had 3 surgeries, 6 weeks in the hospital, months of painful physical therapy with six more months to got. It has been a year of chronic pain with at least 6 more month to go.
My lawyer says very little to me. His only advice is "wait until you are done with everything"
Is this the right thing to do? just wait?
What $ should I hope for?
