He was injuired 6 years ago. The company refuses to pay for any additional medical treatment for his back stating his condition is not a bad as his doctor says it is. His lawyer withdrew from the case 2 years ago. But due to it being so far in the process no other lawyers will take the case. Now the workers compensation states that this matter can no longer be handled by them. So the company is trying to still present an offer for other injuries that he encounter but no additional treatment for his back. Which he can not work, and the company he worked for fired him, and no other company will hire him due to he can barely walk. One lawyer states to just take the money that has been mailed to my husband but another lawyer states that if he cashed the payment this will terminate his rights and he will be stuck like this or he can take the offer and get his surgery himself. The offer is peanuts to what he is going through. Are there any other options for us at this point?

You and your husband need to contact your attorney and the Better Business Bureau. Contact your state's Department of Health for further information on Workman's Comp.
Best of luck to you both!

I agree with the other answerer. Get a lawyer that specializes in this kind of case. You don't say what state you are from, so it isn't possible to find any info for you. You may be able to sue them for much more money, so don't settle till you have gone through every possible avenue.

I would keep looking around for another lawyer, there has to be someone that well help you guys out, butim the mean time, dont cash that check because once you do you are screwed.

your question is too broad. seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in worker's comp cases.
