More details to this question:
I was involved in an accident several months ago and the person that hit me was at fault. I stayed in the hospital for five days and I had 3 surgeries,3 months of physical therapy. 3 months later another surgery with 2 more months of physical therapy and now 6 more weeks of physical therapy has been added. I sustain an injury to my left hand. It has been difficult and I have been out of work for 8 months now. My lawyer has settled with the at fault drivers insurance for the policy limits with was minimal and didn't seek more for my suffering, now he is anxious to settle with my employers vehicle insurance while I am still under the care of my doctor and I am still receiving physical therapy. He says there's no personally injury involved. Help! what should I do my lawyer won't listen when I say I don't want to settle while I haven't been release by my doctor.
