I don't like lawyers!

I don't like them, but I needed one to help me with my Workers' Comp. claim. I was very seriously hurt nine years ago, in the school where I was teaching. I was hospitalized for a month, had my neck broken, and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It wasn't hard for me to get Social Security Disability... since my injury was rather high profile. But workers comp is another story. Why can't the system just provide you with fair compensation without enlisting an attorney? Well, they are in business to save money. And as I was without the ability to work any more, I needed help. i hadn't planned on "retiring" at 60. I am now 69. I wish I was still working. But David Seltzer helped me through it. I say helped me through, because he not only got me a fair settlement, he was my advocate in so many other ways. He helped me understand the situation (brain injury really messes you up). He assisted me with my medical and prescription issues. He made sure that any medical costs incurred from that injury would always be taken care of. But just as important, he was and is a man I good go to to talk about the continuing issues that resulted from my head injury. He is kind and compassionate. He is my friend.
