Do I have a legal case? (please assist me)?

Last October (2006) I got into a real bad car accident on the freeway (car totaled) I wasnt offered an ambulance but i went to the emergency anyway.. turns out I had bruised muscle around my spine and x rays showed a "break in the bone" quote the doctor (not a fracture) but "a break" on my left hand. I wasn't provided a cast but a cheap strap on brace??? How the heck can the doctor give me a brace when i had a "break in the bone" on the top of my hand? I was on vicodin and IbProfin b/c the break was so painful and my hand was as big as a balloon. So the brace didnt even keep the top of my hand tight and gave me slack to move the bone... Everyone told me i needed a real cast. Now 8 months later i get pains at night and my bone pops in and out of place and it hurts alot b/c I dont think it healed correctly. Do i have a case? Shouldnt i have gotten a real cast from this cheap health care? Also i live in a not so friendly neighborhood in los angeles and it took me like 6 hours to be seen.

Do I have a legal case? (please assist me)?
Yes you do. Look up any prominent personal injury attorney. Give them ALL the facts and just sit back they will be happy to get you a lot of money (of which they will take a fair share).
Reply:what did the insurance company say, and why have you waited till now to bring this up. a lawyer at the time of accident would have answered all your questions
Reply:It seems like you do have a case, depending on the details. Initial consultations with lawyers are usually free, so it wouldn't hurt to make an appointment with one and get a definite answer.
Reply:why didn't you talk to a lawyer the next day???
Reply:NO ONE, not even an attorney, can give you an answer to this question without a consulting physician's report regarding the course of action of the first physican and the resulting treatment plan.





and that is what I would advise if you were in my law office.
Reply:no you do not, and if anyone tells you that you do, they don't know what they are talking about.
Reply:I think you do... Seems like your hand is long term damage if the bone "pops out of place" and still gives you night pains.
