i will try to cut this short and would be very grateful as I haven't much time. Four and a half years ago I was a rear seat passenger in a vehicle, when it was hit from behind by a car which failed to stop at a traffic island. I have been forced to give up my job, due to injuries and haven't been able to work since several weeks after the accident. I am still experiencing problems and my life has changed beyond belief. The Solictor was positive about my injury claim initially, but following yet another email, in which I had to chase them, I have received a letter with a far lower offer than expected. The attitude seems to be take it or leave it and that I am fortunate to get an offer. I now only have 2 weeks to respond, or the whole case will be cancelled.
The fact is that I will never work again, having previously worked continuously for almost 40 years. I am on benefits and had to take my only private pension early just to survive. I am in constant pain and my life is a shadow of what it was. My Husband and I are really struggling, as he isn't well either. I feel that the Solicitor has treated me very badly and are now just dumping me. They are even talking about charging me extra for scans and physio that they insisted I untook.
My mental health isn't brilliant and I can now feel myself going under. The amount they have offered would only cover my utility bills for a few years if that. To be honest I am panicking and I am distraught. Can anyone offer any help or advice please? What can I do, having waited all this time to be kicked in the teeth?
