Auto accident and other trauma
I'm still struggling with a lot of trauma I had as a result of an auto accident over a year ago where I was hit in passengers seat. I'll go into more details later. It what is really bothering me the most is I live in NJ a no fault state and the laws r really strict. Although I was injured and have a lawyer I truly feel like the lawyer brings on more stress than anything. He talks down to me and I feel like I have defend myself even though I'm the victim. It's too late to hire someone else. But he is consistently telling me things like I dont really have a case based on my lack of treatment although I did get some treatment. I signed a waiver saying I would not discuss case details online but if someone has had issues with car accident trauma or dealing with the lawyer and after effects, please comment or message me personally. Thanks for putting up this group!!
And for all of u surviving or struggling with any kind of trauma u may not feel it but u r the real heroes and survivors. Give urself credit to fight for your self!

Hi, I work in the legal field in personal injury. This is not legal advice, but instead advice based on observation. It's not too late to change attorneys. You need someone who listens to you and this current person seems to just be making everything worse for you emotionally.
Best of luck!
Thank you for your responses! The case has been settled as of end of this summer. The 2 year anniversary of the accident is coming up in 2 weeks. I have come a long way, but I still have some issues with the settlement, the way the whole case was handled. And on top of it, the driver of the car (it was NOT his fault- someone drove straight into traffic head on to us) who I was dating, just broke up with me after 2 1/2 years, for other reasons, but the accident definitely took a toll on us and led to issues for both of us that I believe had some of what led to the break up.
It's hard but after joining a Facebook Group of other Car Accident Survivors, I was/am shocked to read what people have gone through! And we are lucky we survived.
Thank you for the support!
