A: Your question is not clear. I suggest you find an experienced workers compensation attorney. They don’t charge unless they settle your case and it’s usually 12-15%. Good Luck!

A: The Insurance Adjuster CAN subpena your banking records if nobody objects to the subpena. More likely, instead of bank records, most insurance adjusters and defense attorneys order Social Security records; these show all the places that have sent in federal social security withholding (so they see ALL employers, past and present). JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND: The insurance adjuster does not just "give" you a settlement. Your attorney makes a demand carefully based on the physician's reporting, and if the adjuster agrees, YOU sign the settlement documents, the judge approves it.
