I injured my back six months ago on the job. Work had sent me to a chiropractor that day and the problem got worse and never better. I went through 3 1/2 months of physical therapy and am currently seeing my fourth doctor. Each doctor brings up the term 'litigation' before they pass me on to another doctor even though it's not in litigation. They still can't identify the cause of the pain and are going to start injections which worries me. During one of my checkups they found some irregularities with my heart and I have since had an unsuccessful heart surgery and am awaiting another but the Cleveland Clinic is backed up and I could be waiting up to a year for the surgery. Bosses at work make comments that I have cost them bonuses due to the workman's comp payout and I am worried that they are going to try to push me out and I can't afford to lose my insurance right now. I want to move on with my life but can't afford to make any changes right now and am at their mercy. Should I get a lawyer or are there others ways to protect myself?
