QUESTION
Can I reopen a personal injury lawsuit if the injury was never talked about in court?
Asked on Oct 06th, 2014 on Personal Injury - Washington
More details to this question:
The injury was never talked about by anyone, except me and I was told not to mention it in court or the medical stuff. It was never heard in court or mentioned to other counsel that I'm aware of. The injury is a life altering one that at the time, I was freaked out by and now that some time has passed there is clear evidence, that I'm suffering from a direct result of the accident. So can I reopen only the portion that was never brought up?

If your case was tried to a conclusion, you can't reopen it at this late date. If your case was not tried, but instead you settled the claim and signed a release, then you can't go back after the responsible party. If your attorney told you to waive a valid claim for your injuries, then perhaps you would have a claim against him or her.
