Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Hi: Insurance companies are noted for doing what they are doing to you. They did it to me too. Good you have a lawyer. If he can't get you help, then don't give up, get another one. I know people who had the same problems and had to really put up a fight. One girl was denied by ss twice and the third time went in front of a judge and she won. Don't give up the fight. You have people behind you. We all had to fight to convince these " professionals " that we have an illness we didn't ask for. Sincerely, Anjillah@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 Hi a, My attorney is on it. He told me no one is going to hire me, on Tuesday we have to meet with this woman the insurance company has hired to get me job. He told me, we will explain how bad things are. The part that upsets me is he told me the insurance company does not care what my doctors say. They warned me that the insurance company may try to go to court and stop my checks. So we will see what happens on Tuesdays. I am now officially a day student, I decided it was the best thing to do. Now my classes will only be 50 to 60 minutes long. This will be easier on me. Hope you have a good day. ---------- > From: a <aA@...> > egroups > Subject: Re: [ ] WC > Date: Wednesday, August 09, 2000 11:05 PM > > Sorry . I hope your attorney can handle this for you.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 Hi , I know the insurance do this kind of stuff. They hope that if they torment you enough you will go away, as many do. If I was married or had a second income I would walk away. This is just not the case for me. My friend across the street just went through all of this, she came over the other night and we talked about it all. She told what they are doing is normal for an insurance company. If only the SS would go through all this would come to an end, immediately. Thank you for your kind thought, I appreciate it. ---------- > From: ANJILLAH@... > egroups > Subject: Re: [ ] WC > Date: Thursday, August 10, 2000 3:29 AM > > Hi: > Insurance companies are noted for doing what they are doing to you.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 I have to agree, Lynn, that I think the judge will uphold the previous ruling. It's ridiculous that they keep dragging you through this. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Love and hugs, Carol Re: [ ] GI problems , I know it is silly to tell you not to worry, but I predict your judge will rule in your favor again when you go to court. WC judges are very sympathetic to injured workers. I wish I had more time to talk, but gotta run, time to go to the gym before I head off for work. What state are you in?

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Hi Carol, Thank you for your kind thoughts. Well tomorrow is the big day. So we will see what happens. I went and got the bills that wc did not pay. The judge told them to pay the bills and they didn't. So I faxed everything to my attorney last night. I also sent him all the reports from the therapist, that they felt they were making things worse. Don't know if that will help or not but my attorney has it all.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Hi Kathy, I wish you would hear about your appeal. All this legal stuff takes so long. I think they do it purpose in the hopes that you just go away. Truth is if I was married I would walk away but I can't. I truly hope you hear something positive soon.
