Expert Advice When You Need It Most

My husband and I were on vaacation and was hit by another car. Their fault, per police statement. Our car was totaled.

Asked over 2 years ago - Westminster, MD

We had to rent a car, had alot of pain and I went to the ED, X-rays, with brises to my breast bone. We were on vacation but could not do what we had planned to do because we were recovering from the pain. We are 700 miles from home, no family in this area, and feel we are getting the run-around by the other drivers insurance-they do not return our calls.
Can we collect for pain and suffering?
Can we collect for time lost even when on vacation? We have planned for this vacation for over 6 months and now cannot enjoy it.

I suggest that you retain a personal injury attorney in the state where this incident occurred. In the interim, do not give any statement to the adverse insurance carrier nor give them access your medical records until such time as you have retained your own attorney and have had a chance to speak with him or her.
