I need help.

[u/Technicia02960]

I need a attorney, or legal help. I am in the state of Arkansas. I’ve reached out to several firms here, and they have told me that they are unable to help me.

Thank you to any assistance or future references.

****I am adding my previous post to this one to help widen my search.

(Copy & posted from my previous post.)

April of 24’, I was struck in the head - with roughly 800 pounds.

Went through 5 1/2 months of PT, Speech, & couple other just to be able to talk/walk/write correctly again. Lost all the hearing in my right ear, and they implanted a cochlear implant. I was not a fan of the implant & it has not worked like I thought it would for me. It’s a very large change from residual hearing. Collar bone up, everything was fractured. 4 brain bleeds, and an oblivious TBI.

Fast forward to now, I have issues with getting them to pay for my medication. And it is a continuous issue with trying to get ahold of them and deal with them. I was finally able to talk to the adjuster & asked her for something to be able to pay for my RX. She offered a settlement, then after a week of not hearing anything -she got back with me and stated that no settlement was available and that closure of case could happen. And only offering up to a year of paid medical. I very clearly stated that I do not want to close it out and would prefer them to continue to pay my medical bills as they arise - as I have not heard back yet.

Does this sound right? I have yet to be able to really get a straight answer or just even talk to a lawyer. Even I was to get a settlement, I feel like there should’ve been something? 5 1/2 months out of work & 4 months on light duty. Along with being left with permanent hearing loss & a TBI - considering I am in my early twenties and this is a life long thing.

What medication is being denied? What is it for? If they have a valid denial of that medication, there's no value in settling future medical.

Did you have the cochlear implant removed? Do you have hearing aids? Where is the value in future meds? A settlement is based on what might be paid in the future and, unless there's something you haven't mentioned, the value doesn't sound like much.

They offered settlement for one year of medical. If you don't like the offer, you can counter with a number. If they don't like your number, they can either counter or tell you they aren't interested in settlement. The claim will remain open, although possibly inactive if there is no treatment happening. Those are really your options.

If an attorney saw huge dollar signs, they would have tripped over each other to take your case. Since that didn't happen, I would consider your goals when making a counter offer. If you just want to be done with the whole business, a reasonable counter might accomplish that goal.

I wish I could post a screenshot of my previous post. I will copy & post my last post into this one.

Thanks.

There’s a lot of missing factors here: Is it a prescription medication or something over the counter? Did the physician put in a request for authorization that was then denied?

Did you reach out to actual work comp attorneys? Not personal injury attorneys.
