Hello, my name is Joe.
Back in 9/01/05 I was struck on my right sholder by a Backhoe I have had 3 surgeries and I do have an Attorney. The thing is that I was working for two companies owened by the same man and when I got hurt the INS.co documents and everything that was sent to me had the name of the company that I was not working for at the time of the accident.
Attorney tells me that I have not only the Wrokers comp. case but a tort case as well. I talked to my Attorney last night and he told me that we could resolve everyhting very soon if I only take the Workers comp. case and forget about the tort case, that they will change my rating to what I have to higher rating.
I am confused at all of what is going on. I would like to know if I can resolve the Workers Comp. case soon without forgetting about the tort case and procede with it even if I keep the rating that I now have and the amount of the settlement is lower.
When I first got hurt I was only getting paid for one wok place and not for the two of them, no INS. documents ever came up on the company I got hurt until about 4 months ago, I got paid for only one company for almost two years. I'm in Tenennessee and I hope that one of you can help me if you need more information please let me know. Thank you.
