I was injured on the job and then fired. I had no idea what to do or who to turn to and I goggled for attorney information and came across an attorney named Harville, I spoke with him briefly and my case was given to Ms. Skaggs through his office. I had never been hurt on the job or had any dealings with workers comp before, so I had no idea what to expect. My injury was one that was very complex. The workers comp insurance started my treatment out with the most respected doctors in this type of injury field. I spent close to a year and half going to appts, getting different diagnosis each time, having different types of treatment plans etc, my care was all over the place. Then the workers comp insurance decided it was time to get rid of me, thus ordering the IME (individual medical examination) and this doctor (another well known) in this field decided I was as good as I was ever going to get and released me from all doctor treatments! My attorney Dana immediately got me into a different doctor who not only said that I WAS NOT healed but that I also had permanent damage due to my injury. I'm writing these details because the main thing I want to stress in "my situation" was that it wasn't as typical as most for many reasons. Then end result was this. Workers Comp insurance attorney offered me a very very small settlement, to which I believe that many attorneys based on my case might have said, this is as good as we can get. Not Dana!! She fought my case as if it was happening to her personally! She gave me the confidence to stand up for myself by talking me thru my uncertainties. She gave me a top notch experience because she is a top notch attorney! She knows her workers comp laws and knows her way around the workers comp court. My case went all the way in front of the judge, because Dana listened to me, she believed I deserved more and she fought for me. In the end I was awarded the maximum amount allowed based on my injury and my disability. I felt so vindicated and of course a little richer! If you are looking for an attorney who knows what their doing in this field, you won't find one that's more knowledgeable or that will fight harder than Dana Skaggs! On a personal note, she treated me with such kindness and support but it was her knowledge and drive that impressed me more than anything. She is a sweetheart of a person, but a fighter in her profession. Thank you again Dana for giving me the satisfaction of knowing that "I WON" there is no better feeling than that!!!
