After 21 years since my work injury I did receive settlement money! I was awarded lifetime medical and lifetime support at a very small weekly amount! I keep leaving messages at my attorney's office to no avail! I have never received the weekly amount to date when I received the final award in 11/11! I am left a chronic pain patient with bilateral brachial plexopathy, I am very limited as to what I can do without aggravating the pain! I was replaced at my job in 2000 when I was inpatient in the hospital recovering from a Staph infection I got from the operating room while the neurosurgeon was trying to remove scar tissue. In the end the surgery left me worse off than I started because of additional scar tissue! There really is no justice in Work Comp especially in CA.
