Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
I have an attorney on two cases of mine, 1. is a Disability with workmans comp and 2. an ssi case for early retirement due to compounded medical problems. I find myself using my personal insurance for the pain management because everyone I see has worries about them taking on my medical pain problems so my attorneys have not done anything with that since 2006 now I got myself heard and obtained an appt. with a pain specialist from the workmans comp list but even though I kept my receipts for mileage and out of pocket expenses like for Dr.visits and prescription co-pays workmans comp only pays me for mileage and I feel its wrong that I have to even use my insurance on a workmans comp case. I feel I am not being represented by my law firm. Can I fire them and hire someone else to handle my case with out having to pay a law firm who I know misrepresented me, I feel they have not cared that much on my case because now workmans comp pulled my temporary Disability payments without future notice and I am still disabled and have lost all my licenses from my practice as a plant health care specialist dealing with chemicals like pesticides for dealing with plant pathogens and abiotic disorders. so again can I fire my firm without repercussions from them or am I stuck with them???? and what can I do if I am, they don't listen to me any way or return my calls.
