This is my first post, and don't know how this works. About
4 years ago I was crushed in a metal crusher. I had to have
both legs amputated from the hips down, and now am trying
to live on a small portion of what was the lowest paying
job of my lifetime.
I've asked and asked when and where my settelment was. I
was told that would come when I was medically cleared from
my injuries. I now have a hugh hernia from where the Doctor
went in to remove my colostomy bag and reattach my
intestines. Workmen's comp is refusing to pay for the now
needed surgury and has "Closed" my medical case.
So, I asked again.... now they won't respond to my e-mails
or phone calls.

I did have a Lawyer, but disaggreed with him when he wanted
to settle for $250,000.

I am not a lawyer but everyone I speak with thinks I did
the right thing. After all, I am now confined to a
wheelchair with no prospects for prothisis. I live in
continuios pain which I take medication for.

Is there a formula for an appropriate settelment, or a
chart or table? Hey, I can be reasonable, but am I the only
one?
