Life After a Car Accident: My Struggle with Chronic Pain

Mr.EMT

15 days after I turned 18 years old, I was hit in an automobile accident by my drunk neighbor less than two miles from home. Fast forward 5 years, I have conditions that will continue to impact me for the rest of my life… The worst part is I’m only 23 years old, and I am trapped in a body of a 60+ year old it feels like.

      That’s so sad to hear 😥. Did you get any compensation fees? Do you get the help you need?

        @Lolita yes, I just settled the lawsuit last year… it took over 4 years, and I wasn’t nearly compensated what I thought I should’ve been… Right now, I’m also going through knee issues, as I had my 6th knee surgery on my left knee a little over a month ago, so I’m very limited in all aspects to what work I can do. I’ve also been denied disability because I’m to young.
