HELLO! I DESPERATELY NEED ADVICE IN CALIFORNIA PLEASE!
HELP! LET ME JUST SAY IN ADVANCE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL
YOUR WONDERFUL HELP YOU PROVIDE IN THIS SITE. IT'S GREATLY
APPRECIATED FROM MY SIDE,GOD BLESS. WELL, I HAVE BEEN
SUFFERING WITH MY CASE FOR 8 YEARS NOW .SINCE MY BACK
INJURIES ON MAY OF 2000. I WAS 35 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME,
BEEN THROUGH PHYSICAL THERAPY,ENDOSCOPY TESTS,SPINE
EPIDERAL INJECTIONS, MRI'S, ACCUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS YOU
NAME IT I'VE BEEN THERE.I HAVE TWO DISC PROTUSIONS.
EXTREMELY BAD SCIATICA PAIN GOING DOWN MY LEG ON A DAILY
BASIS. MY DOCTORS RECOMENDED SURGERY A COUPLE OF TIMES,
BUT MY DESISION IS TO DECLINE DUE TO THE RATE OF
UNSUCCESSFUL SURGERIES PERFORMED. I'VE DEVELOPED STOMACH
ULCERS DUE TO PAIN MEDICATION FOR THE PASSED 2 TO 3 YEARS
AND SEVERE DEPRESSION AS A RESULT AS THE YEARS HAD PASSED.
ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I WAS OFFERED TO SETTLE FOR $32.000 BY
THE I.C. WICH I DID NOT AGREED WITH. THE JUDGE RULED 29%
DISABLED. AFTER THE JUDGE RULED ON MY FAVOR,I DID NOT
RECEIVE ANY MONEY FOR COMPENSATION OR BACK PAY OR
ANYTHING.THE JUDGE DIDN'T TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THE
RESULTS FROM STOMACH TESTS OR THE SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION
WHICH ARE STILL VERY REAL TILL THIS DATE. AS YOU CAN SEE
MY LIFE IT HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN WITH NEGATIVE
OUTCOMES. MY SAVED MONEY IS ALL GONE.I NEED TO PAY OVER
$11.000 TO RELATIVES. NOW MY LAWYER SENT ME A LETTER, A
FEW MONTHS AGO STATING THAT HE CAN NO LONGER REPRESENT ME,
THAT IT'S NOT ON HIS BEST INTEREST TO DO SO ANYMORE.THAT
IS SOMETHING I DID NOT EXPECT AT ALL IT WAS DEVASTATING
FOR ME, NOW WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP TO FOLLOW I QUESTIONED
MYSELF AND NOW I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM W.C.
STATING... NOTICE OF HEARING MANDATORY SETTLEMENT
CONFERENCE FOR 04-10-08.MY QUESTION IS IF MY LAWYER IS NO
LONGER REPRESENTING ME WHY IS HE SENDING ME A LETTER
SAYING THAT MY PRESENCE WILL NOT BE NECESSARY? I DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THIS MEANS. MY LAWYER'S ASSISTANT
WILL NOT GIVE ME STRAIGHT ANSWERS, DID HE ALREADY ARRANGE
SOMETHING WITH I.C. WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE? PLEASE I
DESPERATELY NEED YOUR ADVICE I AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. HAVE A GREAT
DAY. GOD BLESS.
