I told her she must have mistaken what I said because I was not trying to shake them down, just stating my back, shoulder and neck was sore and only stated this when I was asked.
Still have more questions, hope for some advice and help:
5. If this pain persist in my Back, Shoulder, and neck, what is the proper way to handle this?
Papa Rick,
I'm not in O/O but was in an accident last November. I can tell you this, you need to get yourself checked out. I thought I was fine until the doctors had me doing CAT and MRI scans. They found that I had a couple bulging discs in the neck that were pushing on my nerves that created pain in the neck and shoulder. For a little while it would shoot down to my hand. I had to have 2 Epidural injections stuck into my neck at the bulging disc location. I'm finally 99.9% better and can finally get back to work after 6 months.
I'm assuming that the insurance company requires you to have sometype of medical rider on your truck, if not.... the other drivers insurance should help since it's his fault..... ...use his insurance for everything and don't sign anything!
You might have said, but what type of car was he in?
As far as replacement of parts... I would think it backwards from point of damage and see what happen to your drive line when the impact occured? I would also look at the king pin, the brake cans, drive shaft seals anything that could have been knocked around. Airbags for cab/trailer?? straps for the fuel tanks. Look at the door, is it misaligned? does it squeak now?
good luck!
