Re: Workmans Comp. Question

In most states you cannot recover pain & suffering under
Workman's comp. In some cases you can sue other parties
other than your employer for pain & suffering, while at the
same time getting Workmans Comp from your employer.

You can always fire your attorney. How much the attorney
will get paid is determined by the Judge. You may believe
that your attorney has done nothing, but when the Attorney
showes his work statements the Judge may disagree. Or agree
with you depending on the situation.
