All of a sudden, your life has come to a screeching halt. You find yourself with an injury that is so severe, and probably pain ridden, that you are unable to return to work. For a while you were able to collect some back pay from your job, or maybe even some disability pay from your job, but that is gone now, and you can sense the sharks are circling at the drain. What will you do?
