What was your injury?
I probably saw it previously but can't recall now.
I could be mistaken , but I thought once you get an atty - the case worker can't talk to you... but I could be mistaken - mine was finished in 05 so it's been awhile.
But I didn't talk with case worker at all after I got the wc atty.
But I was denied by that time... so maybe that was why.
I could only get a reply from my atty if I sent a fax- and then he still didn't answer the questions that it had asked. His office staff was quite disorganized. And after all was done I decided he was one of those that goes for the easy money so he can get his %.

Wasn't really there to help you get the best decision for you.
Mine was a fairly simple claim - no major long term effects that I can't handle with self care & chiropractic - but repetitive motion/soft tissue injuries are very hard to prove unfortunately - that's what I had/have.
Hearing was postponed a couple of times- claim opened in 03 & settled in 05.
Not a big moneymaker -but I didn't expect that anyway.
