  • It doesn't appear that he is keeping you informed on the status of the case. Are you being assertive? Someone I know had to appeal 3 times to higher and higher courts before he got a settlement. It went 4 years, and his lawyer took a good percentage (20% of his weekly income for 5 years), but it was better than having no award at all.
