Q: My employer refuses to appear for court. How can I get a judgement against them?
1st missed date was 8-20-2015. 2nd date was 10-26-2015. 3rd was 10-29-2015. My lawyer won't push the issue. I was hurt on 10-24 2013 and have been to both company and IDE doctors who recommend surgery. I can't go back to work until then, and they are starving me out. Is there anyway to get a judgement without them being at trial. Otherwise they will just keep missing dates until I run out of money?
A: If they miss the trial they can, I would think, be defaulted and judgment entered against them. Did they have excuses for missing the trial dates.
