Whitehouse, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

I would have to read your Mass Policy to tell you how to collect on it. You mention Personal Injury Protection. Most PIP policies pay up to a small amount (1,500 to 5,000) for a personal injury regardless of who is at fault. As far as collecting for you significant damages, including pain and suffering, you may have to hire an attorney in the country where the accident occurred and hope they have laws that allow accident victims to recover damages from negligent drivers like we have in the USA. Laws that many special interest groups, including the Chamber of Commerce are trying to water down, if not abolish!

In Louisiana you may sue for a tort claim within one year of any accident, or one year of when you "knew or should have known" about a claim. Your claim for damages would have prescribed (passed the date at which it could be sued upon) quite some time ago. Further, you could not actually have "sued" your boss or your workplace, but instead would only have had a worker's compensation claim. The only exception is for an "intentional act," and asking you to lift too much would probably not be deemed "intentional" to the point of attempting to injure you.
