September 2007, I was in a 3 car accident. I was sitting at a stop sign when I was hit. The car that hit me was hit by another person. I went to the hospital in an ambulance and was prescribed percocet my my whiplash injury. I went in for a checkup at my local hospital. I was on my way to an interview and missed it. I have a daughter who is in daycare, and I didn’t have a car for 2 1/2 weeks. The person at fault told his insurance company that someone hit him and that why we were hit.His company denied the claim and we had to go through arbutration.His insurance company extended the arbutration date 3 times and finally this month, they held the case, i won. My medical and car was paid by my insurance company. I didnt have rental insurance on my policy and the other insurance company did nothing about it but said it wasnt their fault. I had my parents help care for my daughter during the time and had no vehicle.My pain is gone, it lasted a month.
Well my insurance company won the case, and they paid my insurance company back for the automobile damage. They told me I had to sign a release form for my medical files and I just sent it back today. But I just want to know, am I entitiled to a compensation for pain and suffering and my whiplash injury?
