I was in a car accident at the beginning of the year.
I sustained some lumbar spinal injuries, ligament tears and a misplaced hip joint.
I also was told that I had whiplash which I believe to be upper back and shoulder pain.
The greatest effect of the accident in me was the mental aftermath. My partner sustained very serious and life changing injuries and I myself have been very traumatised by the whole thing. It is the first and only car accident I was in and am very nervous as a passenger, always.
I have had weekly counselling since and try to manage my own upset surrounding the whole thing.
I have spent thousands on my health since the accident and the person who drove into us admitted liability.
I am meeting solicitor next week who wants me to think of what I consider to be appropriate recompense for this situation.
I don’t know where to start.
Can anyone advise me please ?
