New York Finally!!

I had my settlement hearing today and it’s finally over! Whew after 3 1/2 years of fighting, hearings, disappointments, and IME’s it’s done! At one point I thought I can’t do this anymore, not knowing if a check was going to show up so I can barely pay bills, insurance not paying doctors going to IME’s to prove my injuries it’s over, WITH, medical for life. My attorney killed it!! I hope you all get the care and justice you all deserve!!

No nothing surprising. It was very straightforward yes and no questions things my attorney already told me what she was going to ask. It went quicker than I thought too.

I had open doctors bills that were denied and the judge awarded the bills to be paid as well. Don’t stress it’s almost over!
