Q: Can I take documents to trial? And what's the best way to represent Myself?
I am probably unlucky case wise. I'll start by saying I have scoliosis, My back is sensitive to impacts. I was Struck on 2 diff occasions by 2 diff women. 7/1 I was rear ended at a red light. The lady admitted fault but I wasn't awarded much because my car didn't show much damage. Most of the fees are physical therapy & lost wages. The 2nd Accident 1/31 was a woman who was road raging & caused a 3 car accident. No witnesses & she got to court & lied completely. I wasn't awarded for that case. I appealed both cases but I no longer have legal representation for either. And can't find any. I gotta answer the interrogatories Myself as best I can. I'm terrified to Rep Myself in trial i cant pay doctors to appear all I have is paperwork. & if i give up they get away with Makin My life physically financially hard even now. I was thinking to negotiate a bigger settlement outside of court with 7/1 but I'd still owe the attorney & the settlement loan & medical before Me right? How do I do this?
A:
A Virginia attorney could advise best (or Massachusetts attorney, since Boston MA is also listed in your post?) That aside, your post remains open for three weeks. An attorney could have a difficult time advising here - they would likely want to see the files for both accidents.
I'm sorry that this is overwhelming without an attorney. You mention not being able to find legal representation. You could ask the attorneys who declined or withdrew from your cases why they did so. That information might be helpful to you. Good luck
