I was in a car wreck a year ago on August *. I was hit by an UIM. I was not found at fault. My daughter and I were injured. She was taken to the hospital. She had $* worth of medical bills. We received one follow up session at an urgent care clinic Where she and I were both diagnosed with the concussion and I was diagnosed with whiplash. Due to shyness and not wanting to be a burden, I chose not to seek follow up treatment although I did have some ongoing pain. How can I receive a pain and suffering settlement? I also had emotional distress.
