A Man You can Rely ON

I had a horrible industrial accident and almost lost both life and limb. When my original adjuster quit working for Workman’s comp, I got assigned a new adjuster. She did everything possible to put one stumbling block after another in front of the care I desperately needed to get better. I w...as exhausted from my near-death ordeal, multiple surgeries and the constant battle with W/C. It was just too much for me. I came to Matt after trying to go it alone. Once he got on board, my adjuster started to work on my case and approve doctors’ requests. When W/C tried to underpay me while claiming that I had been overpaid, Matt’s staff got them on the right track and I got my correct payment. He also stood by me whenever W/C tried to pull something funny and went with me to all my legal appointments. He knows some of the best, most caring doctors around. His staff tracks my medical appointments and makes sure that the doctors’ offices have all the information they need before I arrive. Matt has actively followed my recovery progress – even contacting doctors to make sure things are going well. Matt and his staff genuinely care about his clients and want them to get better. He is very knowledgeable and has been able to steer me through this maze of paperwork and legal hoop jumping. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking at an uphill battle with W/C and all their dirty tricks.

After meeting with someone other then Mr. Fenton at his office, my WC claim was not accepted by Mr. Fenton's firm.

I went to Mr. Fenton's office and meant with someone other then Mr. Fenton. I had all my medical records, MRI's and all other material they had asked me to have for my meeting. I was asked after being told the associate meant with Mr. Fenton I would need to spend at least $2000 to see specialist fo...r my spine and shoulder. Even though my MRI's clearly show injuries to both my neck and shoulder I was told it would be easier for the firm to fight my denial by using their doctors to state once again my injuries is due to my fall at work and not prexisting conditions. I felt like my claim was not worth enough for Mr. Fenton's firm to fight for me. I think the Insurance Company that denied my claim may be to tough for them to fight for me. The Insurance Company's attorneys has a "BULL DOG" name for themselves. I think there was not enough money for my case for Mr. Fenton's firm to want to fight for me. What happened to the days where people would fight for people? I know my case is not a huge money maker. I have been in serious pain since the injury and the MRI's show I have injuries. The Insurance company is blaming my injuries on prexisting conditions, which I think is another reason why Mr. Fenton's firm decided my claim would be to much work for the compensation they would receive. Very disappointed no one fight's for the man that has always worked hard and when in need the most, help is not here for me.

William, I appreciate you visiting my Avvo site, but I am upset why we were given a poor rating for declining your case. I have a staff of 12-plus whose salaries I am responsible for. Unfortunately, we cannot accept every case that contacts us. We provided you with a free consultation with an attorney and decided based on the totality of the circumstances that it did not make sense to take your case. This stems back to the fact that I have a staff that depends on a paycheck. Thus, we have to take cases that make financial sense. However, as a good faith gesture, if you would like to come in and meet with me personally for a re-review of your case, I would be more than willing to do that for you, free of charge. Please let me know if you'd like to come in and meet with me. Best wishes. Matt Fendon, Esq., 602-256-2000, ext. 306
