Dear Rob: I am sorry to have read what happened.
Approximately a year ago I had a client come to me with a
somewhat similar situation. He was making a left hand turn
(he had the right of way with a green left hand turn signal)
when another vehicle going approximately 60 miles per hour
struck him, causing his vehicle to roll over several times.
He too did not want to file a claim. I must caution you
that your injuries seem to be permanent in nature, and you
will be able to recover your past, and expected future
medical expenses, past and future pain and suffering, and
your loss of earnings and earnings capacity. Good Luck.
Also I would suggest that you contact an attorney in your
area immediately because every state has it's own laws
dictating the maximum time you have to file a lawsuit to
recover your damages.
