Re: stress and anxiety attacks

If it is determined by your doctor that 90% of your stress is work related, then you have a compensable worker's compensation claim.The worker's compensation system is very adversial. The insuarance companies will get away with anything they can. They will pay you the minimum on your claim unless you obtain representation to protect your interests. The worker's compensation insurance companies have attorneys, why don't you? Attorney fees are limited by law to 9% to 12% of the final settlement or award. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
