been there done that........!!!!!!
you must have at least two seperate disabeling injuries, damn good lawyer & the patience of God.....!!
18 years ago it took me three & a half years, to get in front of a federal judge, when he interviewed me, my wife & two "character" witnesses as to my claim & medical files..., after he declared me totaly disabled, i got two & a half years worth of SSD pay, plus i went after work comp. for failure to pay payments which were tripled as their fine... & the third party who was responsible for my initial injury....., in case you are wondering about third party, it is a sub-contractor who comes into your work place & causes injury to a person not employed by them
depending on your age & years worked as to your final settlement....., after it was all done & over, the lawyer got 30% of nearly $300,000, now all i get is my monthly disability chk & interest/dividends from the investment i made.....
being in Delaware may make a difference, i was in Colo. at the tyme...........
