I’ve been through the personal injury scene already and someone who was a good friend of mine, pointed me to the wrong lawyer. It supposedly held up in court. So she says. I got hurt in Aug. of 2013 and I was given 80% disability from workers comp in 2019. I didn’t start collecting SSDI until 2021.

My mistake was not going to a big law firm.

In most states, workers' comp is the exclusive remedy against yoyr employer with some exceptions like product liability. The benefit to PI is pain and suffering is not available in WC.

I worked in the federal system. Many of the lawyers who appeared in my whistleblower cases are national... you've probably blown the statute of limitations.

There is an offset between SSID and state workers' comp. If it was a safety issue OSHA was the investigating agency for approximately 30 different types of cases.

It can't hurt to talk to them.
