Hey guys, I was in a motorcycle accident in September of 2003. I crashed my motorcycle due to man made holes that were left uncovered on a side street here in NYC(construction). My lawyer tells me we have a strong case. I broke my femur in 2 different places and have had 4 surgery's in the past 6 years. 6 months of physical therapy. My friends were kind enough to take pictures of the site while i was still in the hospital. According to my lawyer i owe my friends big time because the holes that were cut into the street were covered up shortly after my accident. there were roughly 8 rectangular holes cut into the street.. of which 5 were covered up at the time of my accident. there was a stack of metal plates that were once used to cover the holes across the street.. My friends took pictures of all this. As of today I have already been interviewed by the NYC lawyers with my lawyer present, I have been looked at by the NYC lawyers doctors to review my injuries. I guess now we are just waiting for a trial date. I speak to my lawyer every month and he keeps telling me the same thing, that the city is delaying as much as possible. He tells me to check with him every month so he can give me an update, which I do. He hasnt said anything to me about what amount of money we are looking at. He doesnt want to give me a number and for it to be much less in the end which i understand..My question is how much more time am i looking at for this thing to either go to trial or settle? i know that is a difficult question to answer...but if anyone has had a personal injury suit against the city or state I would love to hear your story or atleast a timeline...its been 6 years and i would just like to hear your experience.. thsanks in advance.
