I had an understanding with my workers comp attorneys to guard my retirement funds during a workers comp case with my employer, needless to say they had there own desires and needs, they had to make my company happy, they had to make the opposing lawyers happy, they had to have the state working on there side to be able to slide through this process also, BBB, the governor also made it very clear that he wasn't out to drive business away from Ohio he would not step in, my congressman also never replied to any mailings from me, the attorney general said it wasn't anything that she could do to help, Oh yes I called everyone I could think of.
The attorneys would keep telling me that they where working for me, they where having there people checking on things for me, upon the conclusion I lost my retirement funds of 430,000 for a settlement of 60,000, I lost a elbow, shoulder injuries, hips, legs were messed up. Head injuries that didn't help in understanding the case in full, that's why I got a lawyer to help,
I tried to find help after the case had to be stopped do to so much stress, but other attornies told me the cards where stacked against me do to the buddy system here in Columbus Ohio, the Columbus Bar would not go against a laywer or firm paying there dues, the time limits also hit me, searching to find a lawyer takes months sometimes and they want one to two years to make a case, so that didn't work very well, if the WC lawyer would have allowed my retirement funds to be brought up in court hearings it would have saved those funds but they where afraid it would cost them there interest in the case.
Something else I later found out is that they have picnics and group gathering for these workers comp people, lawyers, doctors, attorneys, familys of these people they all get togather and discuss how they are going to handle the cases so everyone looks good in the outcome
