Hi looking for advice. In 2016 some fool plowed into the back of me while I was stationary on the m1 in a large van! Said fool was on his mobile. It caused some pretty bad back, neck issues had to take a month off work(self employed) and subsequently I have beee diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
my issue is my solicitors (through my motor insurance) have been nothing but absolutely terrible. I’ve had around four different individuals deal with my case in that time, most taking months to respond to me (if at all) and all have lost several pieces of information like receipts for tools, invoices to prove not working etc etc. still to date I’m waiting for a judge to sit and see the case (November) I have complained but was just given a list of other solicitors to see. When I spoke to them they seemed to be reluctant as the case is so old and is scheduled for trial in November.
The fibro diagnoses isn’t included in the claim because apparently it couldn’t be added after the medical stuff had been submitted.
I’ve basically lost a months work, had to scale back on a large portion of my business and continue to pay for osteopath visits etc, I feel like the solicitor honestly doesn’t really care and just wants it off their books, I’ve asked for responses and asked to see what’s included in the court file but have literally been ignored! I don’t really feel like I’m being represented properly and they have been nothing but problems from the get go.
Would there be an issue why they wouldn’t give me the file!? Could I go to court on the day and make a statement about all the things the judge hasn’t been presented with (fibro/physio/ongoing treatment etc) can I ask for another solictor to look at the file?
Can I somehow get the fibro diagnoses included it’s been identified that the accident was the cause both by a private doctor and the nhs.
Sorry for all the questions, honestly I’ve been at a loss as to what todo and had almost written off doing anything as it’s been so long just thought about leaving it but I honestly I feel I’m likely to be ill represented. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you
