A few years ago I was shopping in a large chain store when I slipped in some linseed oil that had been spilled on the floor. I ended up seriously injuring my right shoulder and I eventually needed surgery...

My husband and I were in a serious car accident in which the other driver crossed into our lane and hit us head on. My husband broke his back and I hurt my shoulder so bad that I needed surgery. The first lawyer we hired told us our case was only worth a small amount of money...

I came from my home in the United Kingdom to work at a children’s summer camp in northern New Hampshire. Not long after I arrived, I was bitten in the face by a large Akita dog.

Several years ago I was rear-ended while driving and suffered a back injury. The back injury got worse and worse and eventually I was unable to continue working as a landscape architect. Needless to say I was very concerned about my future...

- Rick Kelley
As painful as my injuries and rehabilitation were, I truly did not consider them to be part of the nightmare, because they were, after all, accidents. The actual nightmares were delivered through the callous indifference of insurance companies and the sheer insanity of the Workers Compensation system.

Answers to Your Injury Questions

Q: My spouse recently died while being treated at a hospital. I think the hospital did something wrong, but the hospital won't release the medical records...what can I do?

Federal law mandates medical providers release a patient's records to the patient or their representative. Under the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPPA, medical providers can only deny the release of a patient's records in limited circumstances, and they must explain their reasons for the denial. If you are having trouble obtaining medical records you can contact the Department of Health and Human Services. Also, if you suspect a possible claim of medical malpractice and the medical provider refuses to release their records, it may be advisable to speak with an attorney.
