Hi. I am very sorry to hear about the accident that you were involved in. It sounds like it was a very traumatic experience, and was made worse by the way that you were treated, and by the fact that you did not receive medical care in a timely manner. I am a Missouri personal injury attorney that focuses my practice on auto accident cases, and we handle claims in all parts of the state, and meet with potential clients at the location of their choice.
You could have a potential claim against the police department or the city if you can establish that the treatment at the scene of the accident resulted in emotional distress or anxiety, or that the delay in medical treament potentially caused your injury to be more severe than it otherwise would have been. You should not delay in speaking with an attorney, however, because there are strict deadlines on providing notice of a claim to govenment entities.
Furthermore, you are likely entitled to compensation to account for the pain and suffering that you are dealing with, to cover your current medical expenses, and to pay for any future medical expenses. Did the driver have insurance? If not, do you have auto insurance? There are certain steps that need to be taken right away in order to preserve your rights to recover the compensation that you are entitled to. A few additional details would be necessary to provide any estimate of what type of compensation you may be entitled to.
For convenience, you can reach me by e-mail at [email protected], day or evening. In the alternative, you can call me at (314) 471-5585, day or evening. Thanks.
