I actually did contact several lawyers not long ago and not one of them wanted anything to do with it because we already had a lawyer who has been working on it and when we explained we didnt feel she was doing what needed to be done they still werent interested. Im going to call one more lawyer tomorrow but hes out of state however he is a big comp lawyer so maybe he knows of someone or has an office in Ohio as well. The thing about work comp in Ohio, its one of like the only 3 state funded work comp companies left in the country. Everyone else has gone to private comp companies. Weve gone over and over everything with our laywer and she says that in Ohio, we are at their mercy. They get to say what happens and what doesnt. But get this kicker. She said in the end when he is put at MMI he wont get a settlement. She said that they dont work that way in Ohio, that he would just get a check every 2 weeks until retirement age. Yeah, doesnt sound right, but no one else is willing to work with us so we have no clue. I have so many of my own health problems that Im unable to do "everything" for this case. The lawyer sent me an email saying that we needed to call 4 hospitals she listed info for and see if they would take him on for the scs. Yes WE need to do this. Im thinking, why do we have a lawyer? He cant do this, hes so full of morphine and oxy he doesnt know which way is up much less how to call people and ask them the right questions and Im at my whits end here myself dealing with everything. Ive already almost had a nervous breakdown dealing with my issues and his, Ive tried to explain this to the lawyer too and she just doesnt seem interested. I dont know what else to do, its like, we have a lawyer so we are screwed. wth ya know? Right now he finally fell asleep, he hasnt slept good in days, last night he whimpered all night long, I got no sleep cuz Im worried about him. Sometimes I wonder how much more he can take. Then I come here and see everyone here and how much they are hurting and I just read and cry and feel horrible for being selfish or like I need to rant. My god I dont know how you all get by day after day. Well Ill find out what she has to say on the phone in the morning and then Ill also be giving the other lawyer a call. Nothing will most likely come of it but its a shot, even if it is in the dark right?
