After my initial Attorney, Sara, left the practice shortly after taking on my auto injury case, Alicia took over. I should've gone with my gut and switched to another practice, but I had never had life altering injuries from an accident before so this was new to me. I guess I had figured that I was paying someone to represent me to the best of their ability, but I was sadly mistaken.
Despite numerous conversations about all of the documentation from the Specialists I had seen and the documentation from my Concussion Doctor stating that I may have neurological pain for the rest of my life, she kept making excuses as to why it "didn't matter". She never fought for future medical bills. Well, being that I now have neurological pain 24/7, had to apply for FMLA, and I have to pay tons of money out of pocket for treatment for the lingering pain that was caused from my auto injury, I can honestly say that Alicia didn't do everything in her power to help me. None of my care team can understand why my case wasn't taken more seriously.
The "settlement" amount I received for what I went through was a slap in the face, and because of the lack of communication and empathy, the financial burden that I carry for an injury caused by another driver is almost worse than the actual pain I have from my disability. The lack of effort makes me feel like I didn't matter. read more
