Re: workers comp

If your house is in foreclosure and you are interested in keeping it, I would immediately seek bankruptcy protection. If you cannot now afford an attorney, you can either file the petition pro se or contact your local legal aid office for help. Just be sure and list your claim in the bankruptcy or your right to proceed may be lost forever.
