What incentive is there for the workman's comp ins. company to settle your claim once the doctor releases you? Especially when you still are not 100% ok, and the employer does not want you back to work for him. I need to know what I can and cannot do. I supposedly have an attorney, but they fail to return my phone calls. I am at my wits end. I have bills piling up, with no income, and I had been out of work for over a year before the doctor just wrote me off, and said my injury was as good as he could see. But I only received a 10% rating, and I still can't lift more than 50 lbs with my hand, and I used to lift air conditioning units. If anyone can help me please return comment. Thanks,
