He has has one surgery, told by comp dr only 30% chance this will help and did not, wants to do surgery again but we are afraid. got a 2nd opinion from another comp dr and he advise not to do surgery, said would not help. comp. dr has release, but so many restrictions. Hubby has tried working, but can't. his right leg goes out and last time he tried work I had to go get him. Family Dr. took him out of work and comp not paying now. We have left several messages for the lawyer and not call back. accident was 3.5 yrs ago. any advice would be appreciated. we are having financial difficulties and this is hurting with them not paying.

Re: Should we get another Lawyer?

Yes, you should immediately contact a lawyer experienced in Virginia Workers Compensation. Since your accident was 3.5 years ago, there are time limits on filing additional claims for compensation. One time limit is 2 years from the last time you were paid compensation.
