    Post: Low Settlement

    Posted by Barry on 7/29/07


    I got asbestososis and silicosis at work. Bad stuff, both
    terminal, no cure. I cant work, I pass out. Nobody wants a
    guy twitching on the floor. I had a bad lawyer. I owned
    the business and paid the premiums for 26 years.

    They offered 80k and I was so sick of them starving me
    out, I Took 80k in 2001. My lawyer said I better take it
    or I might not get anything. Can I appeal it? I was on a
    lot of medication, had low 02 (87% at that time), eligible
    for an 02 tank, not thinking clear and shouldn't have made
    the decision. Is it too late to say I had a bad lawyer and
    I am terminal? The people that made the asbestos have
    been sued out of existence.

    I made about $1200 a week, net. Everybody here knows that
    they starve you and make you wait a long time.

    I should have gotten $600 a week until 65. dirty !#$%
    ^&*#8*'s. Because some people cheat workers comp, a
    legitimate claim get's no respect. They were happy to take
    my money for 7 employees and myself for 25 years.
