DePaolo. I would ...Right on the mark as always MR. DePaolo. I would say though, in reference to the line, "We see extreme cases where an injured worker decides to be his own lawyer. I would just like to say from my point of view, many of the iw's don't Decided to be our own lawyer's. We are being forced in to doing so. For many of our lower line cases are not worth the dollar amount it would take for the lawyers to want to fight for us... which I can not blame them. I would not want to work for free either. So the injured workers do end up, either giving up, which I think is the goal. Or going nuts trying to represent them selves in a system that is stacked against them intently legislatively. Left fighting on principle, or for principle, and no lawyer could ever live off fighting for principle. And the truth is, neither can the iw's. <br /><br />I know in my case over a 3 year period I have contacted at least 8 lawyers. The last couple telling me I had done all I could on my own, that they could do no better, and that I should run for office, if I wanted things to be fixed? Hmm? <br /><br />At what point do we call the iw's being locked out economically, and legislatively, intently, from obtaining justice in their care, what it is? <br />Oppression. <br /><br />Any time one group intently hinders another groups access to justice. There is going to be problems. Peace and thanks for all you do trying to report on the TRUTH and facts that are going on in our Workers Comp Systems across this country.
