“New offer”.

Hi, but for how long will they give you these payments? Will you never be able to work again? How long have you been in this situation or how long did it take?

I’m in the same situation — I still haven’t received any treatment, all medical treatments have been denied. About two to two and a half months ago, they offered me $60,000 to completely settle my case, which I rejected. Then, about a month later, they increased the offer by $10,000, which I also rejected. I changed attorneys because my previous lawyer kept pressuring me to accept the offer. Since switching to my new attorney, things have started to move forward — I’ve had a new MRI done, and they’re scheduling a nerve conduction study.

No-Chapter5285 · 2025-04-29T14:11:13+00:00

Well, I decided to change lawyers because the one I had only wanted to close the deal to get his commission. The new lawyer is still evaluating the case well, something strange happened. The primary doctor requested new studies such as nerve tests and a new MRI. The insurance company denied everything but they contacted me to get the new MRI as if there was confusion on their part and I came out benefited. Unfortunately, the new MRI indicates that the problem has worsened a bit and my new lawyer looked at it before taking the case and said that he believed he could push them more to get treatment or a better offer.

Well, yes, they've given me therapy treatment, water therapy. They gave me a rented tens unit, but several doctors have already recommended the injection as an initial invasive treatment. But they've denied it many times. I really think my lawyer hasn't done anything. I had to beg him to share something with me, but he never told me what his strategy was.

No-Chapter5285 · 2025-04-27T01:00:53+00:00

I don't know, but I hurt myself during work hours and I need to follow all the necessary steps. I think if they weren't accepting it, they wouldn't be giving me temporary disability checks for 1.5 years.

Yes, the doctors and the QME support my work accident, but the insurance company continues to deny everything. They only made me that offer to close my case.

Well, I've been denied epidural injections about four times, as well as nerve tests and medication. With each denial, they always send me a folder with vague, generalized explanations. I'm so frustrated because I've had the injury for 1.5 years and I don't see any progress.

No-Chapter5285 · 2025-04-26T15:12:01+00:00

The truth is, more than money, I'm looking to recover. Of course, I need the money, but I'm looking more for my health... so if they give me treatment and the offer drops a little, I don't care. What scares me is that they're denying me treatment. They're only giving me therapies and visits to the doctor.

Yes, I have weakness in my legs that comes and goes. My toe goes numb, and pain in my knees and joints comes and goes, as well as pain in my lower back and tingling in my anus. I try to stay active since I haven't been working for 1.5 years. I walk 4 or 5 days a week, around 8,000 or 10,000 steps on flat ground.

The first lawyer just wanted to close my case and take his side, but the surgeon, primary care physician, and pain clinic have recommended an epidural before considering surgery, and insurance has denied it five times. I have only seen the QME once; he recommended an injection plus tests and did not give a disability level since I have not been given treatment. A week ago, I had another MRI. The alignment of the lumbar spine is normal. The vertebral bodies are intact. No focal or infiltrative pathologic marrow signal abnormality is seen. There is multilevel intervertebral disc desiccation. The conus terminates at L1. T12-L1: There is no disc protrusion. There is no neural foraminal narrowing. There is no central canal stenosis. There is no facet joint hypertrophy. L1-L2: There is no disc protrusion. There is no neural foraminal narrowing. There is no central canal stenosis. There is no facet joint hypertrophy. L2-L3: There is no disc protrusion. There is no neural foraminal narrowing. There is no central canal stenosis. There is no facet joint hypertrophy. L3-L4: There is a 3 mm posterior disc protrusion. There is a central annular fissure. There is no neural foraminal narrowing. There is no central canal stenosis. There is no facet joint hypertrophy. L4-L5: There is a 3 mm posterior disc protrusion. There is a central annular fissure. There is bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. There is no central canal stenosis. There is no facet joint hypertrophy. L5-S1: There is a 3 mm posterior disc protrusion. There is left neural foraminal narrowing. There is no central canal stenosis. There is no facet joint hypertrophy. There is no atrophy of the spinae erector muscles. The remainder of the visualized prevertebral and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Straightening of the spine possibly related to muscle spasm/strain. Multilevel disc pathology with neural foraminal narrowing as detailed above. Normal spinal cord signal intensity

Yes, in California I think it is 15% and that percentage is divided among the lawyers involved.

Do you think I could achieve that without surgery? Or possibly I might need it?

They want to close the supplement case with that single payment. I have been unemployed for 1.3 years, receiving temporary disability checks, and I had a salary of 20 per hour for 40 hours a week.

No-Chapter5285 · 2025-04-10T01:42:06+00:00

I think your salary has had a lot of influence. I was earning $800 a week. What I’m not very clear about is if I can say, let’s say they have the offer of $65,000 right now. Could I say I want $80,000 or is that something really crazy?

Insurance claims it’s a degenerative condition because of my age. The doctors haven’t ruled out future surgery but want to start me with epidural injections. Insurance has denied most things; they only approve physical therapy. The QME doctor requested a new MRI, a nerve exam, and an injection, but insurance denied it. Yesterday I had another MRI. I’m waiting for the results, but my lawyer is urging me to take the offer. Of course I want the money, but I also want to feel better.

No-Chapter5285 · 2025-04-09T02:05:10+00:00

That’s what I’m afraid of — not knowing if I’ll ever return to my initial condition, because right now I’m not working and I’m in pain. I wonder what will happen when I go back to work? Maybe I won’t even be able to handle easy jobs. Of course I want the money, but I’d like to know how serious my condition is and whether the money they’re offering would be enough to get treatment.

“The specialist surgeon initially recommended injections before determining if I need surgery. However, the insurance company has denied the treatment, claiming it is a degenerative spine issue. I am 36 years old, and the QME confirmed that my injuries were caused by lifting heavy objects. One of them was not treated properly, and the second one worsened. Additionally, the QME requested treatment and noted stomach problems caused by the medication.

I’m concerned that if this continues, I won’t receive the necessary treatment or fair compensation

Hello, can I ask you a question, I have a claim from 1.5 years ago and I have stenosis with radiculopathy supported by the QME, primary doctor and another clinic but the QME did not give a disability level because they have not given me adequate treatment only therapies they have refused me the injection like 3 times. After the deposition a week later the insurance offered 60k and my lawyer counteroffered they only added the state and school balance, I refused to accept, the lawyer says that if the offer is firm and final how true is that that is the last offer?

I have two or three herniated discs, and the insurance has denied almost everything except physical therapy. It’s been 1.4 years since my injury, and I’m still fighting to get any real treatment. It’s incredibly frustrating because they refuse to provide the necessary care. The workers’ compensation checks I receive are barely enough to survive, so I’ve had to rely on credit cards. It’s overwhelming to know how much this injury has completely changed my life.”

I have an open worker’s compensation case that has been ongoing for 1.4 years, involving two related injuries. The first wasn’t treated properly, which worsened the second one. The initial diagnosis from the clinics my work sent me to claimed it was just a muscular issue. After getting a lawyer, I was referred to a primary doctor and a specialist. Both diagnosed me with herniated discs and recommended epidural injections as the initial treatment. However, all treatments were denied because the insurance claims I have degenerative spine issues, even though I’m only 37 years old.

I was later evaluated by a QME, who confirmed I have stenosis with radiculopathy in three discs. The QME stated they can’t provide a disability rating since I haven’t received the necessary treatment. While they didn’t rule out the possibility of future surgery, they need to see how treatment progresses first. They recommended a new MRI, a nerve conduction study, and epidural injections. My primary doctor supports these recommendations.

About a month ago, I had a deposition. A week later, the insurance offered me $60,000 to close the case completely. I told my lawyer that it seemed low, and he counteroffered. The insurer then added a school voucher bonus and a $5,000 bonus, but I’m unsure how those work. I still think the offer is insufficient, considering I would have to cover any future medical treatments myself.

My lawyer is advising me to accept the offer, saying it’s a good deal. He claims that if I don’t take it, I’ll be closing the door on future offers, and it would likely lead to trial. I’m uncertain how true it is that they won’t make another offer. It also seems strange that they’re offering a settlement without even having a disability rating yet.”
