Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
Pro Per
Hello;
Just looking for fair.
I am pro per and these are a few items I would like advice on. 1. The insurance adjuster for a Workers Comp claim and I had a conversation with me requesting a AME�s deposition be sent to two other QME�s, for all they have read was the AME�s reports. The deposition contradicts his reports. The Adjuster sent the three doctors my deposition, where the adjuster said �I made a mistake�. This could be thought as a mistake if it wasn�t for two days later he sent the depositions to the doctors we had discussed. To me it was a lie. The defense Attorney was able to post her Declaration of Readiness (DOR) dated seven days later than mine, in my eyes to cover the Attorneys request for the QME�s Supplemental Report that was requested and received without my knowledge. I hope the Judge is unaware of some issues, one was the defense Attorney and I spoke at the DOR, and suddenly left the room to return with an offer of cutting me a check for two thousand and be done with it. The offer was a complete insult; I�ve been fighting this for three years and three Attorneys.

What you are experiencing is what many others experience when they try to handle their own case. The 15% you think you're saving in attorney's fees in most cases will propably be insignificant compared to what you may have received had you hired an attorney.
