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!
