I am 78% disabled left with chronic pain
 

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.

Since you can't get a hold of the attorney's office, I would call the court that your case was heard in, and tell THEM that you haven't yet received the weekly amounts. The defendant is in CONTEMPT OF COURT if it was ordered by the court that they pay this amount -- and the COURT will go after them!!! Tell the Court that your attorney will NOT return your calls -- even when you leave messages!!! (that should put a bug in his ear!!!)

Hopefully the Court will do something about this --- or tell you who to call. I wish you the very best of luck. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee ;)

I'm not sure it works quite that way. As with all legal matters, there are procedures that need to be followed in trying to enforce civil court judgements.

Google: enforcing civil judgements ;)

Particular to California: (but I'd keep looking further and beyond)
