A:
it sounds like you did not hire an attorney to represent you so you acted as your own lawyer in your case. That is never a good idea. Perhaps you dont understand that the insurance company #1 obligation is to the shareholders, not you! if you truly understood this you would have 1. hired a lawyer, 2. not treated with the company clinic doctors, but an independent doctor, and 3. would have all your questions answered by your attorney and not left wondering why all this happened this way.
if your on SSDI, you need to be evaluated for an SIBTF claim as well.
if you dont hire a lawyer, you lose a lot! its not too late to consult with an experienced work comp attorney and consultations are free. so you have no excuse to be or remain ignorant of your rights when access to the information is easy to obtain and free.
