Hi there. After 4 years and two denials I am finally going in for my hearing with a Judge, tomorrow, Tuesday, April 24th.
My spinal cord is fused from T2 to T7 and have different types of paralysis over two-thirds of my body. There are other complications like only having 20% of my balance, memory blanks, etc.
I was hit on the head, luckily wearing a helmut, with the top of a tree. I laid in two feet of snow for 4 hours before being found. I had severe hypothermia and have been diagnosed with Raynauds. After being taken to the hospital and having an x-ray and C scan it was determined that I had to be flown in a Flight for Life jet-copter to larger hospital. I had two surgieries, the first one was 7 hours. I was in that hospital for over 27 days. Since then I have fallen several times and have had MRI's and tests upon tests.
I have all kinds of stories and just found your site. Wish me luck for tomorrow. I cannot believe what one has to go through. I am lucky in that I am on this side of the grass and have a wonderfully supportive wife.

Will be on later. I am looking forward to everyones stories and information.

I recieved a bench decison which was an award in my favor from the judge.
Then I recieve a letter telling me that I was awarded a bench decison but that it could be reviewed by a board and that they have up to 60 days to do this.
Has anyone had their decison turned over after being awarded by a judge?

Hi Cappy, nice to meet you

I went through 7 years of workers comp court, so I know the drill. I got so sick of stupid lawyers who didn't understand anything about rsd that I finally decided to represent myself, went ProPer and WON! But I am not sure, from what you said, exactly what kind of court in which country, you are referring to. With a few more details, some of us might be able to help.

But regardless of that, you've found the place you need to be I haven't been long to this site, but the people and info are awesome. I feel like I've found home. I hope it goes as well for you. Good luck!

Hey Cappy, i got a bench decison also.. did your case have to be reviewed? if so how long did you have to wait.

NuttyMaster...

Just wanted to let you know that... Cappy hasn't posted here for almost a year.... maybe someone else who has been in your shoes will post and let you know how things went for them.
