I may need a new lawyer?

Question

I have a workers comp claim,a reopener actually!

My benefits ran out and im ready to go to comp court.

I was getting money every 2 weeks,until i used up my award,which was $15,000.

So now,i go to comp court for a settlement,which i get a lump sum.

But the ins co says i was overpaid from my every 2 week payments because the ins co says i was getting paid past when the $15,000 ran out>

I have asked my attorney now for 6 mths to find out how much i was overpaid before we go to settlement because they will offset it!

Now this is something that takes 1 day for the ins co to find out,through my adjuster.

My attorney says he is trying to get info,but i feel isnt trying!!!!

Im at my wits end.

How can i get ins co to tell me or my attorney what i was overpaid?

Is there anything legally i can do like get the comp judge to step in?

I need a comp lawyer or someone in the know to answer??

Answer 1

You have an attorney.

You will be paying him a huge chunk of any settlement you get.

Therefore, I suggest you ask him.

Since you are represented - the insurance company will not talk to you.

Answer 2

Once you have an attorney, the ins company won't talk to you, and you can't get the comp judge to do anything.

If you want to handle this directly, you'll need to fire the lawyer, and notify the insurance company and the judge in writing, that you are no longer represented by legal counsel.
