She did not take my case
I met with Martha Ramsay 2 months after my accident at work. My condition was worsening even though I was under the care of a worker's comp doctor. I was new to this whole process; she had great online reviews so I figured, I would seek her legal advice. I drove to Ms. Ramsay's office for a consultat...
Martha Ramsay
Replied last August 09, 2017I’m sorry the reviewer has had a frustrating workers’ compensation case. Any consultation we have with a potential client in our office is confidential. Therefore, I am unable to respond to the comments left by this reviewer. However, we take all of our client's complaints of pain seriously. We know that doctors make mistakes and that sometimes it can be difficult to diagnose conditions. I am glad that the reviewer was able to get the medical treatment they needed and legal advice. Our firm takes clients with significant or catastrophic workers’ compensation injuries, which disable them from work. Unfortunately, clients who have lower earnings at the time of their injury tend to have lower valued settlements because workers’ compensation does not compensate for pain and suffering, but rather compensates only for medical treatment, loss of time out of work and permanent injury. I hope now that the doctor has made a correct diagnosis, the reviewer has a full recovery.
