Yes everyone hates the lawyers until they need help. If not for personal injury lawyers there would be no such thing as collecting for your pain and suffering, for your loss of earnings for your disfigurement. We could just pay the doctor for the direct cost of the medical care and after that you are out of luck. Those "greedy liability lawyers" are going to be on your side when you need them, and they get nothing if they lose which is a great system for keeping the doors of the courthouse open to everyone, not just the rich. Yes the legal system in America is terrible, but the system almost everywhere else is worse.

Cromlich, what happened to the orthopedic doctor that you were referred to by the ER? That referral is usually in writing in your discharge papers.

I am only trying to understand. Do some orthopedic surgeons ONLY do replacements?

Cromlich, was your primary care doc truly unfeeling, or was he just telling you the facts of the way things are in the medical field these days? Is this a case of shooting the messenger? Perhaps he was sympathizing with you and trying to help with explanations of the real world today.

I don't know, the whole world confuses me these days.

Unless the golf cart you were in was street legal, and has the required insurance policy, it doesn't have PIP. The PIP on a car you own only applies when you are occupying a vehicle required to be licensed for use on Florida highways. So it's questionable if there is any applicable PIP for a person injured while a passenger of a non street legal cart.

Why not try to get a television news reporter interested in your situation?

I would love to but with all that is going on........still might do it. I encourage anyone to call any Ortho doc in the area and tell them you were in an accident and want to make an appointment....I know what the response will be......it's sad....so much for "caring" for people.
