I've been reading posts on here for months while dealing with my own mess and honestly it helped knowing I wasn't alone, so I figured I should finally contribute now that things are looking up. I was working for a moving company down near Fishkill last year and we were doing this big piano move up a spiral staircase, absolute nightmare scenario, and long story short the strap snapped and the piano came down right on my foot. Crushed a bunch of bones, needed surgery, whole nine yards. The insurance company was giving me the runaround for ages, trying to say I wasn't following proper procedures and all this nonsense. I was getting so frustrated with the phone calls and the paperwork that I finally broke down and started looking for a workers comp attorney Dutchess County (https://www.workerscompensationattorneylaw.com/) based that had some experience with these bigger moving companies. The guy I ended up with was great, totally took over the calls and handled all the back and forth so I could just focus on physical therapy and trying to walk again. We finally settled last week and while it's not gonna make me rich, it covers my medical bills and the time I missed and that's all I really wanted. Just wanted to say hang in there to anyone who's in the middle of a fight, it does eventually end.
