Here's my soapbox...
When did this government, of, by and for the people, stop their interest in the people and cleave only onto power and money? Yes Virginia, greed makes the world go round!

well - before I was a chef I worked at a medical center and my wife is IN IT, so I can safely say that the drug seekers have really hurt the rest of us that are really bad off. I was actually not wanting to go to the "pain and back center" becasue I did not want to be in the same room as some of the strung out "non hurt" fakers that have ruined it for the honest people. I would NOT SIGN ANYTHING until you talk to an ambulance chaser - comp lawyer that can help - may be worth the hourly fee if they are going to stick it to you. Good luck

I am supposed to wait until 6 months after treatment ends before I can start my settlement. I have seen alot of your posts Maria but I don't remember all your spine issues. 100,000.00 would seem small to me considering my 5 years of pain. Thats 20K a year for 3 surgeries and a crapload of spinal injections. It should at least be worth my current paycheck but really it should be doubled giving me 120,000.00 per year over 5 years and then add on a few more years to recover from this current surgery.......1 million would be a decent number. I would still give it all back to have my life back. I think 99% of the suffering people here would feel the same.
Lets say I never recover and I need meds the rest of my life. Who pays for my meds? My lawyer says they should still pay for meds. Thats different than actual treatment. That settlement number goes up if Im still in pain after Tuesdays surgery. It's hard to put a number on constant pain over 40+ years.
