Re: BACK AND NECK INJURY

I assume that the person who came to you was from the
driver's insurance company who caused the accident. If you
want to handle the case on your own you should definitley
wait for your doctor to finalize treatment. You should also
be cognizant of the statute of limitations for your workers
compensation claim and your claim against the responsible
party(s), which will limit your ability to file a lawsuit
and recover any money from your injuries.
