Q: I was injured by a cashier she had pinned me between the shelves and the full U-boat, manager never asked me anything.
I think I forced him to write my name. I was told to call the store if I was going to get checked over I went to the ER left wrist pain and swollen and contusions on my hips. Have a wrist brace that I need to wear. Their insurance company Sedgwick gave me a cold call and left a message to send text messages. I was having a hard time getting the forms they said I had to upload, no one offered to help me or didn't get back to me. Person handling the claim was never answered my email text message or voicemail.
A: An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. I'm sorry for your injuries. You could continue to try to reach the carrier. The fact that a claim has been set up for you is a good thing. It doesn't necessarily mean anything about the strength, weakness, or chances of success for your claim. But it shows that a claim has been acknowledged. Another option is to reach out to Arizona attorneys. Most attorneys who handle injury cases offer free initial consults and work on a contingency basis. Different firms may have different working arrangements - that's between you and a law firm. Good luck
