I live in Staten Island, New York and I was hoping to get advice on what others would do if in the same situation that I am in.
Since the longer this goes on the more complicated it gets I'll list the important points in an attempt to make my story as understandable as possible.
Worker's Compensation
1) I suffered an on the job back injury in July, 2009.
2) I pushed through a Worker's Comp claim, which I won.
3) I received a $4,000+ check in February 2010, but nothing at all from Worker's Comp after that.
4) IAfter about 1/2 dozen hearings I'm told the insurance company wants to close the case.
5) An initial offer of $30,000 was just received and I have to meet with my attorney Sept 24th.
Worker's Compensation Discrimination
1) I pushed through a Worker's Compensation Discrimination claim in March, 2011, which I won.
2) The judge sided with me on the appeal. (I thought my employer would have to take me back to work).
3) I was then told I needed to get an attorney to acquire damages, so I got one in early 2012, but I've heard nothing at all.
Social Security Disability
1) I filed a Social Security disability claim in August 2011.
2) My health issues prevent employment but I was still denied S.S.D.
3) Unable to get hospital to document whether my conditions are permanent or treatable, so denied again.
Public Assistance
1) I’ve been on full Public Assistance since October, 2011.
2) This doesn’t cover my bills, so I began going into debt in July, 2012.
3) Re-injured back at a doing "volunteer" work required by law due to my receipt of public assistance.
I don't know when any of the above ever gets resolved, but can anyone tell me how the Worker's Compensation, Worker's Compensation Discrimination, and Social Security Disability claims (which I have three different attorneys for) would conflict with each other?
Thanks.
