Answer
Hello Marie,


Well, the only base line is that you are injured "in fact." If you have injuries and can show that, then you are entitled to pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages and etc.

I know you do not want to retain an attorney, but that is the best thing you could do.

Bodily injury claims are difficult, but if you would like to learn more, the specifics and everything (it would be way too long to explain here), see:

I hope this helps,


Good Luck
Anne
