I was hit by a drunk driver in April 2008 and sustained a concussion and moderate neck/back injuries. They do not impair my ability to work but I do have to go to physical therapy or a chiropracter on a regular basis. However, my civil lawsuit is still open so that any medical treatment related to my injuries will still be billed to the person who hit me and not to my own/the school's insurance. I am going to tell the truth and say that I have had a serious injury within the last 5 years because it wasn't my fault and I would probably tell people at the school at some point anyways. But I'm worried that it will affect whether or not I get my visa. Any advice or feedback would be helpful!

I have a similar situation - back and neck injuries. This should not ruin your chances of coming to K land. There is great physical therapy and it is cheap. Once you have your insurance, you pay $8 a session. (Daegu at least). Even with diabetes etc. one should be accepted. They are more worried about STD and drug use.
