Has anyone been extremely upset at their findings??? I was
in the original settlement which should have netted me
about 350K after legal fees.My laywer strongly suggested I
opt out and take the 7th ammendment because he said the
trust was running out of money and I could potentially get
nothing if I stayed in the original settlement. I was told
I'd get approximatey 70K with my moderate mitral valve
regurgitation. After waiting 5 years in total, I was told
my case was reviewed and I was to get about 20K because
they thought I might have had rhematic fever once- I never
had anything of the kind. My laywer suggested I go for a
second review but said the second and final review would
be binding with no appeals. SInce I have had over a dozen
echos and been reviewed by at least 6 different
cardiologists who have all found my echos to indicate at
least moderate mitral valve regurgitaion, I thought I had
nothing to lose by trying again. When the 2nd review came
back, that cardiologist said I had mild mitral regurg! I
just got a check for $4,800.00!!! ANd my lawyer says I
can't appeal. I Called the trust fund but they won't speak
to me since they are only supposed to speak to my
attorney.There has to be some way I can fight such a
completely different finding from all the cardiologists
I've seen and echos I've had. Is anyone in the same boat??
ANy suggestions? For all I know there could have been some
kind of mistake There must be some legal recourse left for
someone who has been dealt such a discrepancy. I'd
appreciate any feedback anyone could give me.
