I don't know of a good one in NJ. But I think I might have just become

aware of a bad one.

..mine says there is no medical evidence...

Hi Theresa,

I guess it doesn't matter what coastline one is on...same from my ex

WC attorney over here in CA... even though the documentation says

ongoing gas leaks, water leaks, mold from AC problems, soil

contaminants hauled away, etc...he say no toxic issues in my

building...AMAZING, isn't it?

I called another WC attorney today. He reviewed my case and said sorry

we don't do toxic mold cases....must be coming from from above...

How the hell are we supposed to get covered for our injuries?

Hope you can find someone to take your case in this denial climate.

Your frustration is understandable. I took Workers' Comp. while my

own claim was in progress. I read every case I could get my hands on

from all over the country. The professor had done this work for years

and referred to them as " exposure cases " - back to the farm context.

I had to teach my lawyer and you will have to teach yours. I am NOT

giving you legal advice*** but practical advice. It is important to

have a very strong medical package and remember that the injury

" arises out of, or in the course of employment. "

The lawyers are not stupid. They are just not trained. In every case I

know that prevailed, the client had to help the lawyer with

information. Your case is only as strong as the information you give

the lawyer.

The lawyer can't pull a rabbit out of a hat. When I read the range of

injuries in these cases, and the complexity of them, I knew I had to

help myself as much as possible. It is hard to do that when you are

sick, but winning the claim, might depend upon it. It is unfair, but

right now it is the reality of the situation. And, every state has its

own Workers' Comp. scheme. Good luck and God Bless.

They are just not trained.

My QME stated 100% work related as did all the doctors I saw and the

four doctors who wouldn't allow me back in the building. I mailed my

lawyer articles weekly and told him to read them and keep them as

resources. I tried to educate him and give him every bit of help

possible but to no avail here.
