Re: Any one in Western Washington

while I do not live on the west coast, I have a BPI since 1968. I'm writing because I see the disappointment in your writing. The injury is a common injury for someone riding a bike, whether it be a motorcycle or bicycle. I was injured while riding a bicycle ( hit by a car). The surgery is important...

Re: Social Security Review

You need to hire an attorney. you need an attorney that specializes in Disability law. There is no cost to you. if you win your case a portion of your settlement is used to pay the attorney. you will need to prove that you can not work & can not do anything to earn a living.
