I've been lurking here for months reading everyone's stories while dealing with my own mess, and I finally pulled the trigger yesterday on getting some legal help and wow, what a difference already. My situation started last winter when I slipped on some ice making a delivery for the flower shop, messed up my knee pretty good, and I've just been spinning my wheels ever since with the insurance company dragging their feet on approving the surgery my own doctor says I need. Every time I called they'd give me some new excuse, lost paperwork, need another review, waiting on a supervisor, and I was getting nowhere fast. A buddy from my bowling league who went through something similar kept telling me to stop being stubborn and make some calls, so I finally did and had a consultation that honestly made me feel like someone finally speaks my language. The guy explained things in plain English, told me what I should reasonably expect, and even pointed me to https://www.workerscompensationattorneylaw.com/ to read up on some of the legal stuff we talked about so I'd understand the process better. I'm kicking myself for waiting this long, but at least now I feel like there's actually a path forward instead of just banging my head against the wall. For those of you who waited to hire someone, did you also feel that immediate sense of like okay, somebody's finally in my corner?
