When I was in a serious car crash in New York City a couple of years ago, I missed several months of work.  I feared I would lose my job due to this incident.  I was rear-ended on the interstate, and my car was shoved into a bearing wall breaking both of my legs, and causing serious head injury to me.  I was unresponsive for 2 days before I woke up to find myself in a hospital not being able to move.  I was lucky to be alive, and to have my husband get me a New York Personal Injury Lawyer to handle my personal injury case.  They helped me keep my job which I am now back doing after 2 years, and they really went to bat for me against the insurance company to make sure my medical bills were paid, and I received a decent settlement for loss of work as well as pain and suffering.
