Thanks for answering Art. My one and only hearing was on the 28th of last month, it was held at the San Diego WCAB which is just at the sub-standards that any living person should have to be in at any given time in their life. My own opinion of course, but with good reaso seeing the IW's sitting on the floor waiting to catch a glimpse of their attorney as they rush by. The little court rooms or whatever you would like to call them were nothing more than a large closet space. One small table where maybe four adults could sit at one time , 2 on each side. The Judge was at the end of the room at another small table with about 16 attorneys exchanging their greetings and how was your week end etc. I could not of made it up to where the judge was if I had to. everything that was said to my attorney was conveyed to me by him outside in the hallwaysor in a copy machine room I seen the IC attorney once as she rushed out to another room at least she recognized me and said hi. When my attorney said to me that I may as well sign I protested but he insisted that I take what They were offering me which included life medical and a settlement which is suppose to be paid to me bi monthly until it runs out. I told him that I could not believe that he was asking me to accept this due to the fact that I have needs and that because of a hardship which I had thrust upon me while I was recuperating the first year after my surgery that it just wasn't acceptable. Then he comes up with this thing about being able to ask for a lump sum after about a month and that he would send the paper work in for me and get it accepted,. Well so far I have yet to come up with an answer from anybody reguarding this matter and I am not even sure now if this can be done. I am thinking that the guy deliberately told me this so that he could walk out of there knowing that he had his 12% of my settlement and screw me. I haven't heard from him yet or his paralegal and neither has returned my calls. So I am totally in the dark on what I am suppose to do with my creditors and with my mother-in-law who has to be taken care of in another state that I am also responsible for at this time. I don't mean to be so rude to any one I am just tired of all this and I thought it was suppose to end and my life start to become normal again. Again thanks for your reply Art .
