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

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.

If you are getting the run around even at this point, I think you know that you will need to contact a lawyer. The insurance company is not dealing with you fairly even on the most simple of issues. You can recover for pain and suffering, depending on the jurisdiction, but a Maryland attorney can and would help you with your situation.

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.
