Call your State Board of Workers Compensation. They may very well be able to light a fire under the Insurance Co.

Did you ask them if they would be willing to make a phone call on your behalf? I live in a major metropolitan city, and while I didn't have problems during my claim, I know of those that did. They called the State Board, and they were able to make a phone call...that was all it took.

I don't remember your original post word by word, but if you don't have an attorney...get one....if you do, get another one!
