More details to this question:
My family and I were hit in an auto accident on September 12 2012. The at fault party went to arbitration and were found guilty. That company settled for our two boys but I was still going through treatment. I have now settled my treatment and are ready to settle with the company but now they are saying they are not going to cover my bills because it went to arbitration. How can they cover my two children and not me. What can we do.

What you can and shouold do is sue the "at fault" driver. I don't understand why an arbitration finding which went against the at fault driver could hurt your case, assuming you are not that driver. Even if you are, you will not be bound by the finding in that arbitration unless you were a party to it. Usually, an arbitration in that situation is between the insurance companies and delas only with the property damage the insurance company has paid.
The statute of limitations on such a cliam is two years, so you have only until September 12, 2014 to bring your suit or it will be barred.
