Indiana - No workers comp checks for a month/not responding to lawyer Hello, my husband was injured in a fall accident (severe ankle break and PEs during recovery). It's been 9 months and our claims rep has always had a nasty attitude/ won't respond to eilsbor calls sometimes for weeks and weeks.
The trick is they get to 55 and then go on disabilitu and workers comp until the pension kicks in. All planned for years and the shady acts by the wc attorney, doctors and judges are crushing the financial health of the state.

Talked to a workers comp lawyer for a little bit and he said I have a case but I don't know if I should cause knowing how this place is, I will most likely lose my job.

I'm 3 months into my new job as a workers compensation defense attorney. I'm so stressed, I can barely manage. Right now, I'm at 25-30 files, and I'm the most stressed I've ever been. I think most attorneys in my firm do twice this amount, and I've heard of attorneys doing many many times more.
