Andrea WellsPersonal Lines: How Technology is Changing the Way Agents Do Business
I certainly feel for this young man. At the same time, the list of issues is as follows: “He suffered from depression, cognitive deficits, anxiety, psychosis, self-mutilation and a psychiatric diagnosis of multiple personality disorder, Asvar said.” None of the above mental health issues seem to be related to a fall, and are likely due to issues already present before the accident.
Depression was probably already an issue, which is either the cause of, or an effect from, the multiple personality issues. Anxiety and self-mutilation are not uncommon for those who suffer from severe depression or multiple personalities.
I feel really bad for the injured party. At the same time, I wonder how much of this was already present in Mr. Enriquez before the fall. The fact the lawyer is trying to turn this into some kind of “I got the biggest payoff, ever!” marketing scheme also makes one suspect there is a bit more to this story than this piece lets on.
Really? Not related after a TBI?
If the attorney is truly concerned about his client as much as his syrup-laden verbiage suggests, perhaps he’ll only keep 10-15% of the “winnings” and give the rest to his client……..NOT!!
As this is a California workers’ compensation case, the attorney fees are already limited. 12% – 15% are common and must be approved by the judge.
Scott, just an fyi, The normal attorney fee for a WC claim in CA is 15%.
I have a atbi that has not settled either. It’s hard I have kids. I’m losing my house!! I don’t know what will happen My lawyer has worked on mine since 1998 and the defense always wants more I have some of the same problems of the above but now there is no place here to go and no one to help during the day, It’s hard. I hope it will end on a positive note.
