Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 , I am so, so sorry that your son was not properly diagnosed for either his plagio or tort. I would also be incensed that his pediatrician, etc. brushed off my concerns repeately, and now it is too late for intervention to treat his plagio. Bells are ringing about a lawsuit where the parents sued for just the reason you are questioning about. In the Files section here at the group, you can scroll down to the document titled " lawsuitx.jpg " which is the first page of a news article about parents suing a doctor for malpractice for a too late referral. I think I may have searched for other information about the lawsuit, the lawyer mentioned, and parties involved on the internet, but I came up empty. Perhaps you might be able to find out more and use that article as a lead. I'm hoping one of the more senior Mods with better memories might know what happened with this lawsuit. If you're interested, you could go to the Links section, Plagio Studies and Research folder. There will be different articles and studies listed, along with their publication dates. You could see what sort of plagio information your doctors should have been aware of when you were seeking help for your son, and he was 2 years or under. There is also a group at , if you haven't already joined, called " OlderPlag " - it's for older babies with untreated plagio. Perhaps someone there has considered a lawsuit, or can provide some advice.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi I'm soo sorry to hear this. I cannot believe the peds that are out there. I would def look into taking a laywer. They will know what they can do. As for the torticollis, you can still do something about that. It will be hard work, but pt / ot / surgery can resolved tort at your son's age. Let us know how he does.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Just a suggestion: It seems that the " Bear Hug " from behind might qualify as unwanted touching. It looks as Assault and Battery to me. was just trying to defend herself. Try to obtain all medical certificates you can, including any history of sexual abuse or any kind of abuse experienced in the past. Do not forget to include IEP's instructions as to what she should or shouldn't have. 's doctor could also testify as to her condition. You could suppoena him if you believe he would not be willing to go to testify in Court. It is also important that you talk to the prosecuting attorney as to MIchelle's conditions and the circunstances of the " attack " . I am not aware of all circunstances but I would have filed charges for Assault and Battery against the teacher. Good luck Ana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I think a very good place to start is going to be clear IEP violations. Plus, hands were placed on her first and perhaps there was a self defense reaction involved. I think you need to get in touch with these people, if you can't get a response from them try the agency listed below them: Pam Luther Granquist, Managing Attorney Minnesota Disability Law Center 430 First Avenue, N., Suite 300 Minneapolis, MN 55401-1780 (612) 332-1441 Marge Goldberg & a F.

If I represent myself, does anyone know what legal grounds I could use to have the charges dropped altogether? I live in MN by the way. Any help is good, thanks and sorry for the long post. You should get an atty who is familiar with sped law and disability law. Not only for the hearing but also for the school. You need someone who will handle both of these things. you can usually find referrals on this web site --> _http://www.copaa.net/ Roxanna ô¿ô Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive. _ (http://www.copaa.net/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Do not represent yourself. Get a lawyer, you can call your local Bar association, explain the problem and get a referral. Your child does not seem guilty. Self defense eliminates guilt anyway. The lawyer will know what evidence you must have ready for the hearing.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Has anyone with a worker's comp case for a sick building done the case without a lawyer? Has anyone contacted their governor/senator for assistance in settling? How about the Dept. of Insurance for a fraud investigation? I'm looking into the above options and would appreciate any help. Also if anyone knows a good WC lawyer in northern CA who knows about defending people who were injured in sick buildings would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks for updating everyone. I hope someday we will get help. My family's story was included in the packet, will our stories remain with any new legislation whenever that may be. I would like to update my story sometime. Just spent a week at my daughters because we lost our electric for a week. Very weak today as I returned. My 23 year old daughter was great, but she doesn't understand why I can't work and wishes her mom was not so fragile and wants the old me back. So do I.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 From what I have learned, owning a home should not affect receiving SSI benefits. The Social Security website is quite helpful. Legal Question We are considering purchasing a property with the intention of creating living accomodation for our adult son outside of the home. Does anyone know if the property can be in his name or his trust's name without losing his SSI and Medicaid? We have a call in to our attorney, but am wondering if anyone has any experience or already done this before we proceed. Withers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 When you own a home AND live in it, SSI and Medicaid are not affecting. If you move OUT of the home, then there is a problem with SSI and with Medicaid.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 : Just curious if you heard back from your attorney about the purchase of property for your son? As I said in an earlier post, according to our experts, Rubin and Sherri Schneider, as long as your son lives in the house that you purchase, he can own it and it will not be counted against his SSI and Medicaid. But the house would be best put in his Special Needs Trust because if he happens to move out of the residence there are legal ramifications for the property. SSI and Medicaid may then be in jeopardy as the property is then considered non-homestead property. If the house is in the SNT, those legal ramifications do not exist.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 regarding the car...Joe Hen from Ohio, he and his wife had done some fantastic supports for their daughter, but when it came to the care, the Hens created a 501-C 3 and IT owned the car. Joe Hen said that way if anyone wanted to sue due to an accident it would sue the 501 C 3, and it had the assets of only the car. I thought that was pretty brilliant. Or as Terry says let the micro board own the car. Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
