Question: I WAS HURT ON THE JOB AND EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG HAS WENT WRONG. THE WORKERS COMP ADJUSTER HAS TURNED DOWN ME SEEING A SURGEN THAT WAS REQUESTED BY THE PANEL DOC. NONE OF MY PAPER WORK IS EVER THERE AT MY DOC APPOINTMENT. NOW THEY ARE TURNING DOWN DOC APPOINTMENTS. I WAS PUT BACK ON WORKERS COMP AFTER TAKEN OF BY THE COMPANY DOC AND THEN SAW THE 2ND PANEL DOC ONCE. I AM ON NO WORK STATUS .THEY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SEE THE 2ND PANEL DOC AGAIN . THEY HAVE NOT PAID ME A DIME SINCE JULY 1ST. MY LAWYER CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM THEY WERE BREAKING THE LAW AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW THAT. MY LAWER HAS PUT IN FOR A HEARING BUT NOTHING HAS COME OF THAT YET. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET ON THE BOOKS TO HAVE A HEARING. WHAT AM I TOO DO NOW? I HAVE A FAMILY TO TAKE CARE OF.

Answers:
Your lawyer sounds incompetent. These workmen comp jerks need a strong attorney willing to fight their illegal and immoral tactics.

Seek another legal opinion. Let your attorney know what is happening is unacceptable and you must have some action immediately. You can request an immediate emergency hearing before a judge.

Don't use all caps. That is considered yelling and is rude.

Workmans comp is like social security, very hard to get. Having a lawyer is a good thing. It will take forever. It's like a test to make sure you really can't work, you are backed into a corner until you loose your house before they do anything. Sorry, it's a painfully flawed system and getting paid by workmans comp takes 40 hours/week of phonecalls, dr's appts and paperwork.

I've been through this. Nothing much you can do right now but wait for the hearing. At mine, I received a lifetime award. The company has to take care of my injury for the rest of my life! Keep calling your attorney to get that hearing! No such thing as being a pest when it's something this important. Remember--your attorney doesn't get any money until you get your award (whatever it is) so helping you as much as possible is helping himself!
