More | Report Post

HELLO! KIM.. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE. YOU ARE SO
KIND. I
APPRECIATE ALL THE TIPS AND HELP THAT YOU GIVING ME. BUT YOU
SEE I THINK
I AM TO LATE TO CARRY ALL THESE OUT, OR AM I? REASON WHY I
M SAYING
THESE IS BECAUSE I HAD THE CHANCE TO SETTLE WITH THE INSURANCE
COMPANY
ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO BUT I DIDN'T BECAUSE OF THE OFFER BEING TO
LOW. MAY BE
BECAUSE OF MY LAYER'S INCOMPETENCE OF NOT FIGHTING FOR ME
BUT INSTEAD
WITH ME, HE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO TALK TO ME ALWAYS BUSY AND
DISREGARDING
MY DOCTOR'S REPORTS, MRI, X RAYS, PHYSICAL THERAPIST ETC, THAT
TILL THIS
DATE PROVE THAT IN FACT THE DAMAGED IS ALWAYS BEEN THERE. I AM
VERY
DISAPPOINTMENT OF MY LAWYER ALWAYS AGREED WITH EVERYTHING WITH
OTHER
INSURANCE'S DOCTORS IN NOT WITH ME OR MY DOCTOR'S REPORTS AND
NOT FIGHTING
THE WAY HE SHOULD 'VE. I' ILL BE HONEST WITH YOU AND TELL YOU
HOW IT WENT.
ALL I WAS OFFER BY THE INSURANCE COM WAS $32.000 FOR ALL MY
INJURIES
WITCH I THINK IS VERY OFFENSIVE CONSIDERING THE EXTEND OF MY
INJURIES . I
HAVE 2 DISC PROTRUSIONS IN MY BACK L4 AND L5. I DEVELOPED
ULCERS WITCH
ARE KILLING ME TILL THIS DATE AND WASN'T CONSIDERATE BY THE
INSURANCE
DOCTORS FOR UNKNOWN REASON. I WAS TREATED FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL
PROBLEMS,
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, STRESS ETC, THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD SETTLE
FOR THAT
AND STILL NOT CONSIDERING THE MANY I ALREADY OWN TO MY FAMILY
MEMBERS
WITCH ADDS UP TO ALMOST $7.300.AT THE TIME, SO I DECIDED TO GO
TO COURT TO
SEE THE JUDGE AND FIGHT FOR MY RIGHTS INSTEAD. BUT MY LAWYER
SAYS THAT IT
WASN'T A GOOD IDEA AND THEY SEND ME A LETTER SAYING THAT THE
JUDGE DIDN'T
RULED ON MY FAVOR THAT I WAS AWARDED NOTHING AT ALL EXCEPT
$15.000
DOLLARS OF MY FINAL SETTLEMENT MONEY ON 2004 AND THE CHECKS
FROM MY
TEMPORARY DISABILITY FOR ONE YEAR THAT THEY PAID ME AND I
RECEIVED THAT
MANY BACK ON 2002 THAT'S 2 YEARS AFTER MY CASE BEING OPEN
SO I CAN
HELP MY SELF WITH MY BACKED UP BILLS, IN OTHER WORDS ALL THESE
YEARS SINCE
THE YEAR OF MY INJURY ON MAY OF 2000 I HAVE RECEIVED ONLY
THAT MANY AS
OF FORM OF COMPENSATION IF YOU CAN CALLED THAT. NOW I HAVE
APPOINTMENT ON
THE 5TH OF THIS MONTH WHICH IS THIS FRIDAY AT 10:30 WITH MY
LAWYER AT HIS
LAW OFFICE TO SEATTLE FOR MY PERMANENT INJURIES OR DISABILITIES
BUT I DON'T
TRUST MY LAWYER. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE THAT MAY HELP MY
CASE WILL
REALLY BE SO THANKFUL TO YOU. I APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN GIVE ME
SOME FEED BACK
ON THIS. THANKS AGAIN KIM THANK YOU SO MUCH AND LOOKING FORWARD
TO HEAR FROM
YOU. YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT MY WEBSITE O.SANDOVAL@COX.NET HAVE A
GREAT DAY
