I live in California and I had a upper neck injury 4 years ago, I'm been is massive pain since. I lost sensation in my face, arms and legs. Also my hands and legs are getting weak. I've seen 12 DR's at my HMO (Kaiser) all had no idea what the problem was, and they were not able to give me a diagnostics or help. They do not what to take the time or effort to help. I tried to get help from other facilities but they would not take me as cash patient. I tried to complain and file grievance, did not work. I called the state they have not done anything in the past 4 months since I called. I tried to find a lawyer to help me with my HMO with no luck. Kaiser has refused to refer me out. They are not even making a real effort to help me. Even though Kaiser is not responsible for the initial injury, there lack of action caused more damage to my nervous system. Damaged ligaments can be treated if an effort is made. My initial injury was caused by a Chiropractor. I do not wish to file a lawsuit against him. All I care about is to be treated properly. I have spent over 5 thousand dollars on out side treatment with other chiropractors and atlas orthogonal; they helped but not enough. I can not find the proper people of my own to help me, that's why I have to find a way for Kaiser to step up to the plate.
SO What are my legal options?. Also I am a government civilian contractor. Do I have the same protections government workers have in suing HMO's.
