My mother had a work accident, she was bleeding in the head, and could not sleep from day 1. Her…read moreemployer at the time #UPS refused to get her treatment, and follow up. The next day I reached out to UPS about her injuries, they threatened her, and then fired her because of her injury. I had to call the police to have it reported what happened for future. And I kept the audio from her old supervisor. I mean he was mean, and really threatened her.
I contacted a lawyer since they refused her medical care and her medicaid refused to pay for workers comp injuries. I was referred to this lawfirm. At first, Mr. Jesuele did a good job getting her to medical care, and liberty mutual barely complied. After everything my mother was referred to physical therapy that she never received because the insurance doesn't want to cover it, and medicaid refuse to cover anything relating to work accident.
This case is going on 3 years, and many times I ask Mr. Jesuele to go to trial as that is what my mother wants, he refuse to. He is just pushing for her to just accept what he is telling her.
1. First offer he gave my mom was an offer that he said initially was a ball park that he and the other lawyer would talk about. But apparently he had already talked and decided on $11K.
2. After refusal, he went to get medicaid liens and never got back to me for months. Finally, I reached out, contacted medical liens office myself, and then something happened. Then we had a different offer, and my mom asked for a trial. He keep saying that is not advisable. Okay, so we ask for a better offer, and he said he would talk to the other lawyer. Never did. He communicates every once or twice a year. 3x time we asked to just go to trial, and he keeps pushing the case under, not doing anything about it.
3. This last thing pissed me off was today. He said the courts were closed last year, and he said the same to me today when we asked for trial. So my mom's case might be heard later this year or next year. Called the court. Everything is being done virtually, including trials. He never intended to do anything with my mom's case. I have a deep feeling he is acting in his and #libertymutual best interests. Not my moms.
The big problem is my mom doesn't speak English and I personally have no time to deeply help her. But I have great feeling that because of that he is not acting in my mom's best interests. Already had settled with the other party. Last year, when asked for a trial, he acted like he would rather quit the case, and I was fine with that. But then said no thats not what he said. I feel like this is something to be investigating, and I should be filing a complaint with the state about this. This smells fishy like a malpractice situation.
When people don't speak English or are not able to advocate for themselves, others take advantage. But if this continues, I will file a malpractice lawsuit. My mom doesn't speak English well, and she is limited to the jobs she can have. On top of that, her legs are impacted, her sleep, and she continues with pain. She cannot work her usual job because of this injury, but they are sitting there happy not to give her medical care, attention, and to have her settle for pennies that will be gone in months after she pays for her own phtaysical therapy and other care relating to this accident. What type of lawyer takes advantage of someone who already is at a disadvantage and is now partially dissable, and cannot even earn a keep.
