I injured my back and arm while moving a 300 lb tire at work. Then a week later was rear ended while stopped at a stop light. I was returning from the L&I doctor's office who had released me from work due to the back injury. Now L&I wont pay anything since I was in the MVA and the auto insurance wont pay since I had the work injury claim. This has been going on since 1/16/08, I have lost over $20,000 in wages alone which Im told is not recoverable. On top of that if L&I were too pay me anything it would only be 60% of which the attorney will take their 30% which doesn't leave much to live on. Is there any way out of this mess?

It sounds like you already know the answer. You've got to hire an attorney immediatley. In your situation you have L&I pointing the finger at the auto accident, and the auto accident pointing the finger at L&I. You need an advocate who is on your side that can hold both sides feet to the fire and get a resolution that puts you in the best position possible.
