Does anyone think I will win this or should I hire Binder and Binder if I have to appeal?

Before hiring an attorney, has s/s referred you to a neurologist for MRI of brain? A 'shrink' is not a bad thing. It is my belief that the 'shrink' may help you..(not that I like s/s..I'm on worker's comp, no better..) However, having said that, I was diagnosed many years back w/ PTSD. (post traumatic stress syndrome and thru therapy and meds has helped a great deal) In addition,
just last Jan. 2010 suffered a concussion at work place. I would hope the 'shrink' would request a referal for a MRI of brain to rule out additional trauma. Just guessing, my feeling is you have two issues going on.
As a side bar, within post concussion forum, some people, which I used, (now
cannot remember name) recommended a site,..I think something like 'tbl law'..
pls search..they were great! (They did some research and found a wonderful local attorney for me..they are very, very specialized in concussions and post concussion syndrome..you might want to contact them.
Hope this helps..
