I am happy not to have to go to court for the 4th time. The question was to go to trial, which is like a Grand jury, just you and the judge with lawyers and facts, no witnesses, or to settle. After an injury12/08, I finally settled. I don't want the surgery. I can use the drugs. I decided to settle. That in itself provides some relief.
I finally asked my lawyer what percentage of cases she settles v going to trial. She said she settles between 85-90 percent. Dealing with worker's comp. Is difficult. The judge was very conservative what ever that means....
I'm glad it's settled. I hope it will cover all this pain and suffering. I didn't want the spine surgery. I didn't feel comfortable with the surgeon. He was impatient and although I got him to explain the procedure twice was still not understanding. That's when I needed brother Bob with me.
The papers should come next week.
