I\u2019m AJ (not my real name) and I want to tell you briefly my story.<\/span><\/p>\n I am 37 and have worked in clerical positions most of my career. \u00a0In my last job I worked as a secretary for more than 8 years.<\/span><\/p>\n After about 7 years I started having problems with gripping and carrying any weight with my hands. \u00a0At first I figured it was just muscle soreness or fatigue; you know something that would pass. \u00a0But it didn\u2019t. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As the weeks progressed so did my symptoms and ultimately pain. \u00a0The pain would radiate from my fingers up my mid-forearm as I typed or did my work. \u00a0I took pain killers, but it was just temporary relief. \u00a0Finally the day came when I couldn\u2019t even carry a gallon of milk. \u00a0I knew something more was wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt feels good to be treated like a human after the way the insurance company handled me like a laundry listed numeric code.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n I went to my doctor and he said that I likely had carpal tunnel syndrome from work. \u00a0I was surprised because I took my breaks and would even sorta grip my hands and stretch as needed. \u00a0You know, when they felt tight. \u00a0The CTS was confirmed with diagnostic testing.<\/span><\/p>\n The doctor gave me a slip and I reported the CTS to my boss. \u00a0That was the start of everything. \u00a0My employer didn\u2019t have modified work. \u00a0I was off work for weeks without a paycheck as my claim was denied. \u00a0I needed help. \u00a0Fast.<\/span><\/p>\n I looked online and found RP Law Group, Raj Patel\u2019s office, and called. \u00a0The girls got me a quick appointment and made me feel at ease when I came in. \u00a0But it was Attorney Patel\u2019s attitude of fighting for me that made me certain I was in the right place. \u00a0I found out that RP Law Group does only workers\u2019 compensation. \u00a0Unlike some other firms, this firm does not practice a wide variety of law, they practice only workers\u2019 compensation law\/employment law. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Mr. Patel sat down with me and explained what kind of injuries I have sustained. \u00a0It turns out I sustained a cumulative trauma injury of which I didn\u2019t understand before. \u00a0Then, Mr. Patel explained what temporary disability is and what kind of medical treatment I will get. \u00a0He also explained what Utilization Review is and how challenging it is to get medical treatment approved. \u00a0I realized very quickly that singlehandedly I could not have managed and navigated the insurance company\u2019s regulations. \u00a0I want people to understand that it is very complicated. \u00a0With RP Law Group I spoke with an attorney the same day I called them. \u00a0When I signed up the case Attorney Patel sat down with me and articulated all that I would be facing and how the case would proceed.<\/span><\/p>\n MR PATEL ALSO EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS A LOT OF FRAUD IN WORKERS\u2019 COMPENSATION AUXILIARY SERVICES, RUNNERS, CAPPERS, AND APPLICANTS MAKING MATERIAL MISREPRESENTATIONS. \u00a0HE LITERALLY READ THE DISCLOSURE TO ME SO THAT I COULD BE AWARE.<\/span><\/p>\n Raj Patel fights aggressively for me every step of the way. \u00a0Sure there are times it is difficult to reach him with his schedule, but he always got back to me. \u00a0I am not just a name on a piece of paper; I am AJ with CTS who needs treatment. \u00a0That feels good to know. \u00a0It feels good to be treated like a human after the way the insurance company handled me like a laundry listed numeric code.<\/span><\/p>\n California Workers\u2019 Compensation I\u2019m AJ (not my real name) and I want to tell you briefly my story.
