Default Re: work mans comp issue for legal advice

It would appear that you need to find a Workers Comp attorney as soon as possible. An assessment needs to be made firstly on your ability to make a claim and then a calculation will need to be made on exactly how much your claim is worth. Your ability to work now and in the future will need to established, as well as the affect this has on your insurance. This is not likely to be straightforward and it may be helpful for an attorney to deal with this on your behalf.
You may also want to look into the possibility of bringing a medical malpractice claim against the urgent care department that made the initial incorrect diagnosis of a sprained ankle, when it was in fact broken. If the mistake has lead to your current problems, this may be something that is worth pursuing.
