Well...that still seems shady to me. If your doctor says you cannot do the job then WC doesn't need any other sort of "proof" about that. But if you feel more comfortable with the situation then that's what is important (obviously I wasn't there for the whole conversation). If it were me I would still look into another attorney...just too many things that it doesn't seem like he has thought through very well that could be damaging to not only your case, but also to your health (driving when you feel impaired).

And definitely stand your ground when it comes to the driving. The bottom line (in my opinion) is that if you feel that you are too impaired to drive regardless of if it's from medications, pain, etc. then you should not drive. Period, end of story. If you feel that you are not impaired, then make the decision you feel is best.

Good luck.
