2 years on and not coping...at all...

I was injured in a collision in September 09.  All very complicated and there was a fatality.

I was diagnosed with PTSD in April 2010, had this confirmed by an indipendent specialist in April 2011, and have had a real fight on my hands to get treatment for it, in spite having been a passanger in the non-fault vehicle, which I owned and was insured fully comp.

I am expecting to have some treatment anytime now.

In the meantime, the other side have made an offer.  My new solicitor says not to accept it as we don't yet know whether it is fair, and won't be able to value the claim ourselves until I have finally had the treatment that I've been asking for for over 18 months, but my previous solicitor didn't sort out. (Hence the new solicitor...same firm)

The problem is that I am so extremely unhappy with the situation and taking the offer from the other side would end it all. 

The new solicitor says we will have a value by Christmas...although I really can't see how when I need to have 8 weekly sessions of EMDR and haven't had my first appointment through yet.  I think realistically we are looking at March 2012, and after that we might not even be looking at a greater figure than is already on the table.

My family and freinds are amazing, but I run my own business and am so behind on everything that I dont know where to start...which is causing further stress.

I am a nightmare to live with for my partner (who was driving at the time of the crash).  I can't concentrate, cannot enjoy anything, hate being in the car- especially as a passenger...and so on. Part of the reason I am so concerned about having another crash, even a small one, is the prospect of having to deal with an insurance claim ever again.

The treatment will focus on the effects of the crash, but where is the support for getting through the insurance process?! It is ruining my life (

I really don't know where to turn.  This is the closest thing to a support group I can find on the internet.  As I'm sure you're all aware, type ''Injury Claim'' into Google and you have 50 odd pages of 'no win no fee' ...and no help.

I'm having to dig my ehels in for the long haul in order to get what I'm entitled to (I haven't even had an interim payment yet - which was first asked for in February 2010), but I don't know where I'm going to get the strength from.

Im sure everyone gets frustrated by this point.  Their own expert said in his report 7 months ago that I would benefit from 'a swift end to the litigation process'. Is this ringing bells with anyone else?

Thank you x x
