Clare, MI Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Generally, as to your actual question ("What can I do if worker's compensation won't communicate with my attorney?") if a workers' compensation insurance company will not communicate with an attorney, the attorney can file suit against the employer (you sue the employer, not the insurance company). The insurance company will then hire an attorney to defend the lawsuit. Your attorney can than communicate with the employer's attorney. Once suit is filed your attorney can get a lot of the information he/she needs for your case. if there is still a dispute about some aspect of your case, then ultimately the case will go to trial and a judge will decide what you are entitled to. With regard to the question posed in the "Question Detail" asking "how do you think I'll get" I cannot answer your questions without a lot more information. I would need to review your medical records and determine what your medical providers (doctors) have said about your injuries. In addition, I would need to know your wage history and what monies, if any, the workers compensation insurance company has paid. I would also want to know the basis, if any, of the denial of some of the items you list. This response is based on the limited information provided, makes certain assumptions, and assumes that all events took place in Nebraska. In addition, this response is not a substitute for professional legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship, nor is it a solicitation to offer legal advice. If you ignore this warning and convey confidential information in a private message or comment, there is no duty to keep that information confidential or forego representation adverse to your interests. You should seek the advice of a licensed attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction before taking any action that may affect your rights. If you believe you have a claim against someone, you should consult an attorney immediately, otherwise there is a risk that the time allotted to bring your claim may expire.

If the information was defamatory, yes you can sue. However, since you were not fired, you may be unable to prove damages and get nothing. Also, if the individual has no assets, it you obtain a judgment, then you would be unable to collect.
