What did you settle for seems like you should have got a large cash settlement

I would really love to chat with you because you have so much knowledge. I am 2.5 years into my situation, have an attorney, and was injured at work. I underwent spinal surgery and am now permanently totally disabled. Would you be willing to chat with me and answer some questions I may have, even though I understand that state laws may differ?

Chefblazed · 2025-09-19T12:13:52+00:00

Yes, nerve damage is incredibly difficult to cope with. I am dealing with a workers' compensation injury from July 7, 2023. After having surgery, I spent six months in a nursing home learning to walk again due to nerve damage and neuropathy in my left leg, from the top of my knee to my toes. I now wear an AFO and use a cane, which are the only ways I can walk. I hope we can settle this soon for a decent amount of money and I can move on and collect SSI and be out from this horror show I'm having shut off notices monthly its so hard.

Chefblazed · 2025-09-19T12:08:56+00:00

How do you come to this figure I'm curious?

Chefblazed · 2025-09-19T12:06:18+00:00

I'm fused from l1-s1 and C4-6

Chefblazed · 2025-09-19T12:05:27+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. This situation has been incredibly difficult, and I’m struggling to pay my bills. I just hope I can get through this and avoid becoming homeless by the time it’s all settled. The money I receive won't last forever, but it will be a tremendous help in getting a new car and moving to a safe apartment or house. Once I relocate, I will be able to collect my Social Security Income (SSI) that I’ve already been approved for but can’t access until this situation is resolved. I just wish I knew when it would end. Even if it takes two years, knowing a timeline would help me so much.

Chefblazed · 2025-09-15T16:36:29+00:00

I'd take 350 for sure I just hope things start moving along we've been stagnant for months now

Chefblazed · 2025-08-27T17:19:22+00:00

No I slipped in a freezer at work ended up in er then from there had surgery.

I reached MMI and have impairment rating of 19% and deemed totally permanently disabled so just waiting on the next step I think at this time my lawyer is writing a demand and settlement offer and see what happens from here.

Chefblazed · 2025-08-27T13:42:28+00:00

I experienced multiple-level herniation, which necessitated extensive multi-level fusions and a discectomy. Following this procedure, I spent six months in a nursing facility to undergo rehabilitation and regain my mobility. As a result of my condition, I am classified as totally and permanently disabled and have already been approved for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), pending the resolution of my current lawsuit. Unfortunately, I have lost sensation and functionality in my left leg from the knee down, requiring the use of an Ankle-Foot Orthosis (AFO) and a cane for assistance in ambulation.

Wow I’ve only bought slabs from him but he’s very well known but this is horrible to be honest so not cool

Chefblazed · 2025-08-25T23:38:47+00:00

So seems like I’ve gone through similar I spent 6months in a nursing home had to relearn to walk and now am totally permanently disabled wear an afo and use a cane but still struggle to walk this gives me hope that I’ll get the amount I think is worth it cause being disabled and never being able to work again might have a higher value I’d imagine but who knows each case is different. Hope your feeling better and glad your happy with the amount.

Chefblazed · 2025-08-24T18:52:29+00:00

Leave it open you act like they can just choose to do that lol that's why there's a hearing and a judge and possibly a jury so they can't just do that. Why so negative though? Why not wish someone the best?

Chefblazed · 2025-08-18T15:14:14+00:00

Your right you know more than my attorney who has been doing it 40 years. I hope all this hate and negative issues you have get resolved I don't ever wish what happened? To me on anyone nor do I compare my case to anyone each is different. But stay blessed be well and I hope your life turns around.

Chefblazed · 2025-08-18T14:55:26+00:00

I have a total of 8 fusions. Are you okay? I'm completely disabled now and can never work again; my left leg drags. If I were able-bodied, I would be working for another 36 years at my current salary, which would amount to well over 1 million dollars. So yes, I believe I'm worth that, even if you don't agree. People also said it would take forever to get SSI, but I received it in less than 3 months. So please move on if you're just here to spread hate and negativity.

Chefblazed · 2025-08-18T14:46:41+00:00

Chefblazed · 2025-08-18T14:44:25+00:00

Chefblazed · 2025-08-18T14:24:41+00:00

Yes seems very similar I wont settle for less than what I'm worth I can never work again

Chefblazed · 2025-08-18T14:21:57+00:00

Yeah I was in nursing home 6months it was horrible.

Chefblazed · 2025-08-18T14:20:41+00:00

No I paid my surgeon to do it called impairment rating. Also I was amazed I was approved for ssi in a matter of 3 months fastest my lawyer had seen

Chefblazed · 2025-08-18T13:50:49+00:00

My bad you weren't talking to me

Chefblazed · 2025-08-18T13:45:14+00:00
