Was out researching and found this interesting and helpful guide.

As I'm sure most here are not made of money or some resources might be limited or unavailable to you - This might be of interest...

Well I'm glad that I could help - at least helping you get in the right direction....I'm sorry to hear that your attorney dropped you - Some are just lazy and dont want to do any work. Sounds like thats the one in your case. Others just want things to fall into their lap - I actually had one tell us that we needed to appeal SS the first 2 times and then when we got to our 3rd try and got our hearing in front of a judge to let him know before the date and he'd be sure to show up for court! Yeah he'd show up - To get his check for NO work! I was floored....Needless to say we got another attorney for SS.

My best advice to anyone needing an attorney is this - Get one OUT OF YOUR TOWN. Find a big city close by (within the state) and hire them. An attorney within your town knows or might know too many people related to your case. Also it seems bigger city attornies seem to be more agressive. This is from what I've seen, heard and experienced. (A personal opinion as well)...

Thanks for your encouragement and suggestions.

I am already receiving S.S. benefits, so I am safe there. I just need to be sure that I am represented well for my settlement, when that day comes. I have talked to a few attorneys in town and you are right Hubby, the attorneys here all know each other and don't want to be bothered. They readily admit that there is no money in it for them as I am into year 4 of my case and if I understand correctly, W.C. only has to pay for 104 weeks, then they schlep you off on to Medicare. They try to do as little care as possible and then underbid your future medical needs. (Medicare won't pay for needs for your injury)

Workman's comp. is a mess here in CA. Arnold is in denial as to what is happening to injured workers.

Do you suppose that we could get together and file a class action lawsuit??

Thanks for Mike's name and number Curious. If this other info. doesn't get me anywhere I will try him.

In the meantime... I'm going on a chocolate binge!!!
