A: A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry about your accident. You could reach out to local attorneys to see if they could help you review the matter. But unfortunately, since this happened 14 years ago, that timeline probably closes a lot of doors. If it wasn't placed in suit, the SOL has probably long since passed. If it was a case that was concluded, the other side probably wrapped things up with a release which ended the opportunity for coming back for more money. But these are only general guesses. Your most reliable way to determine your rights here would be to review the file with a local attorney. An experienced attorney might be able to review your matter for other possible options - disability? workers' comp? See if you could arrange a free initial consult with a Mississippi attorney - that would probably be your best starting point in sorting things out. Good luck

A: Addendum - Before reaching out to attorneys, maybe see first if you could touch base with your original attorney. If they saved the file, they would know best about the terms on which your matter was closed. I hope you are able to find a solution to your situation. Good luck

A: Given the severity of your 2010 accident and ongoing symptoms, it's crucial to seek proper medical evaluation right away. Your symptoms of cramping, numbness, and cold sensitivity could indicate various underlying conditions that need proper diagnosis and treatment.

Your family history of multiple sclerosis, combined with these symptoms, makes it particularly important to get comprehensive medical testing. While chiropractic care helped initially, your current symptoms suggest you may need different types of treatment now, especially since they're affecting your ability to work comfortably.

Consider documenting all your symptoms and how they impact your daily life, then schedule an appointment with your primary care doctor who can refer you for appropriate testing and treatment. You might also want to consult with a personal injury attorney who handles long-term injury cases, as you may have options for compensation related to your ongoing medical issues stemming from the 2010 accident. The sooner you take action, the better positioned you'll be to address these health concerns and protect your rights.
