Leaving the state with a child? No custody determined and no parentage recognition signed. Hardly ever hear from other parents.

I hurt myself at work. Presented in an ER with a herniated disc of the neck. Come out of work and have seen a specialist. I visited my pain management doctor and they agreed that I had a herniated disc and I could not work. Said to work and they wanted me to go to their doctor. Their physician informed me I was lying and it was a pre existing injury. N attempted to get me back to work. I denied and returned to my first doctor and she put me out once again. Meanwhile it was the holiday n on which no one was present to answer questions.

After 3 weeks I hired an attorney to defend me. (I was on far too many meds) not sure I did the right thing. Went to work with a new note and my boss said work was accepting the claim. So is a lawyer needed? How does that work? I was making a signature of something they get 20 percent but 20 percent of what? My weekly wages?
