Broken wrist .

The malpractice, if any, happened at the time of the first surgery. If it truly was put "too far into" your joint, then there may be a case wothy of pursuing. Should you retain an attorney, all x-rays and medical records will be gathered and must be reviewed to determine whether the doctor acted unreasonably in the manner in which he performed the procedure. Good luck with the second surgery.

Workers comp lawers

The service and/or place you find an attorney is not as important as talking to the attorney first and making sure you are comfortable with him or her. There is no perfect place to find an attorney.

I have been fired with an existing work comp claim still open, i need another knee surgery, who pays for it?

As long as you haven't settled out your case already and assuming the doctor ties up the need for the new surgery to the original injury, then you are entitled to having the related treatment paid for by comp. Obviously, if you are having trouble handling the matter on your own, you should contact an attorney.

Is wk comp pay based upon date of initial injury even if I returned to work for over a year?

Assuming your work related accident happened in Illinois, you will get a weekly check of 2/3rds of your average weekly wage for the one year prior to the date of the accident. It is true that if you later have to take off time due to the injuries incurred, your Average Weekly Wage will still be determined based on the date of the accident and not the date of your most recent time off from work. You have 3 years from the date of incident to pursue a workers compensation case in Illinois...

Car was parked in chicago, one car hit antother than my parked car. Who is responsibe for my car

The answer to your question is that the car pulling out of the parking space is responsible. While you didn't ask specifically about insurance, I am sure that is your real question. If you know who insures the responsible vehicle, I would start by contacting the company and forwarding them your bills for the repair. Hopefully it's a decent company.
