Raymond,
I've been reading your conversation with Mark, and I think you're doing the right thing.
I was T-boned by Semi, in 83, that cause RSD. Then, in 98 a car blew a stop sign, and I hit the top of the windsheild frame, (convertible). TBI. More than a Decade ago!
I've still got huge health issues, but, the biggest ones are, that (the story)
I was self employed, owned two business's and was running them. An employee was driving me out on a couple business errands. I had 5 Mil in my own, self paid insurance coverage! (98 accident). I had several wonderful attorneys, who had no clue what to do with someone with a TBI. My (2nd) wife was able to steal all everything, along with an attorney who was handling some business matters. 2+ MIL, in Assets GONE! Wifey, is still asking for more, (My home, that she threw myself and my children out of, I owned before I met her, and was only married to her for 3 years. She's been living in it for the past decade!
It's not easy to come off losing a couple Mil. And, then to have your Attorneys "OOoops" forget to file something, and Lose the Entire Case!
Yes, that's what I said. I had ZERO Liability. And my lawyer(s) missed a filing deadline!
Now, I have a "Legal Malpractice Attorney", who's got his head, sort of well, not where I need it!
Do you think for a moment, that these attorneys were as smart as I was? To Self Insure? No Way!
Most attorneys, (And, ASK THEM, get a copy of their certificate of insurance, and have it updated yearly), ask them, if they're covered for Legal malpractice!
Most Aren't! Believe it or not? Google this!
Now, my children don't speak to me, (they were "groomed" to take over the business's, which are now gone). I even have a granddaughter, I hear.....
My wife still wants my house. Hell, she lives in it! And, is taking a Grand/Mos. from my disability! (which I bought privately, being self insured).
And, I'm still up the creek!
But, I'll say this to you, Ray.
You are doing the right thing!
Keep Fighting! That's what I'm doing, and it's what I've got to do, otherwise, I'll be another cockroach, dusted into a dumpster! Like all the Ins. Co's and Attorneys want to do with us!
We're gonna need to talk more! You were a Hard worker, as was I.
Oh yes. I think we'll be good friends! I'm glad to meetcha!
I just wanted to give you a vote of confidence right now! I think you've got to keep getting the help you need! (TBI is coming so far, making leaps and bounds with this unfortunate war we have going on), and new treatments and aids are being discovered every day! Rock on!)
And, keep being your own, best advocate!
I'm very proud of you!
My friend!
Hey Ray, PM me, please!
