Got Final Rating Now what?

[kristin0]

My case is no different I was treated from the start in the wrong way.I hurt my back,neck and right arm,only treated for right arm like it was sprain/strain refusing treating me for back and neck.I try to speak with the adjuster,gave them statements and even spoke with one of the nurses they gave me and still they refuse to treat me for neck and back along with the Dr.on their side.I was forced to take attorney who demanded mri of back and neck,according to them everything came back normal and I was discharge to full duty job.I had to go to my primary doctor to do mri s again of right arm,back and neck whhich showed problems.Not to mention that I was barely walking,my back,neck and right arm killing me.Physical therapist almost refuse to treat me because she said You are really hurt and I don t wan t to hurt You even more.I took workers comp mri s and from my doctor to 3rd reading to experts in radiology Radiia which showed supraspinatus,bursitis and bone contusion on my r.shoulder which wasn t treated right and now I have frozen shoulder,neck-cervical lordosis with spondylosis,L4-5 herniation with annular disc bulge with pars fracture with neuroforaminal stenosis.So as You can see this is how workers comp treat people paying radiologist and doctor to send You sick back on work.I try to go back to workers comp doctor with new findings and they dismissed me saying my claim is denied in full.I was out of myself like my attorney,because they admit that it happened on the job but still denying my claim.My private insurance doesn t want to cover bills even thought I send them denial letter,today lady from attorney general in Tallahassee call me saying that they will also try to help me with insurance company.As I said I wrote everybody from congressman to the white house and will continue to do that.And Jayne I agree with You there is still out there a few good Dr.willing to help You no matter if it is a workers comp case,I m waiting now for IME scheduled by my attorney before adiministrative hearing.

I hear what your saying and it's absolutely true, They denied me, and it sucks because I lost my car, my apt, and the doctors bills keep piling up, believe me it's not easy, but Im glad I already got my MMI Rating, and my attorney said he filed to go to court,

as information is state specific (football is asking about california comp not florida), it confuses other readers that are trying to follow the original issue.

Question: My attorney says he requested a court date, How long does it take in California to see a judge?

depends--each court has their own workload and schedule.
expedited hearings have priority --they can get heard in 2 months.
others 4-5 all depends on how busy the board is.
