If your attorney wont talk to you it's time to get a new one!
My attorney is very good with communication and let's me know
of every step along the way. Do what the doctors tell you to
do. Ask a new lawyer about a PDD or MMI (I have no idea what
they are). See what another lawyer says about the settlement
approximation of $6,000.
