Overview
Your first priority must be to do everything possible to recover your health. Your claim for pain and suffering is secondary and can and should wait until your health has been dealt with. In fact, you won't be able to settle your pain and suffering claim until you know the complete story on how your health was affected. The earlier you get to work on getting better, the sooner you can settle.
Stay as active as you can, within the limits set by your doctor. Failing to work hard to recover from the outset is considered by many to be a primary cause of chronic disability. Consider trying to return to work part-time, or with partial duties, as early as possible. You are your own best ally in getting healthy. |
