Man, do I need help!
My story is long and complex, and I don't even know where to start, so I will just start here and fill in. I am sitting looking at a C&R form and it looks like Greek to me. After two days online searching and researching, I still have so-o-o-o-o many questions, and I can't seem to find an attorney to even help at all. My attorney dropped this after "an event" with someone in his firm caused a "conflict of interest", but because this is a case w/a local govt it seems no one wants to deal with it. I could be wrong, but none-the-less, I have questions I can't get answered. I did find another attorney to look at it and he told me that there was an error on the part of the first attorney because he missed a filing deadline, so I was a bit afraid that if I wrangled much that I would lose even the $2500.00 and wind up with nothing. Does anyone know what the filing and response dealines are for these cases, or a simple way for me to find out...not only are my arms dead from all this computer stuff, my eyes are crossing. To make matters worse, I don't understand all the initials on this site, or much of the language. I am not an idiot, I swear, but this is a whole new jungle for this animal!
In short, I have had 6 surgeries for CMT bilateral Carpal Tunnel and Cubital Tunnel. I don't even have a problem just closing this chapter (especially after reading all these nightmare stories on this site! Youch!), but I am afraid that if I sign this off I won't be able to get any Rehabilitation. I am just ignorant enough to think that the State Department of Vocatinal Rehab is something that is independant from Worker's Compensation Voc Rehab...and I don't know if it is or not?! Also, can anyone tell me if this seems like a reasonable amount of money for this type of injury? There are some complicating factors, as always, but six surgeries (3 each arm/hand, and two pieces of bone) seems like a lot for such low compensation?
I don't even know where to start. I found this site by trying to find out what a "Thomas v Sports Chalet" finding was, I still have no idea what a "Sumner" is. In my searches, I did find a CAAA and got a list of attorneys in this area, but I don't know if I can (or dare?) try to fight for more at this point. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
