Work Accident Disabled Father Seeks Relief From Medical Expense Debt
by Kevin
I was divorced just a week before getting hurt. I had custody of my son. I raised him on my own, but I had help because I was hurt. All the doctors that looked at me, including Workers' Compensation, said I could not work and probably never would again. I had to go on Social Security Disability and am on it still. I did receive a settlement and it was supposed to last until 2015. So because of that my Social Security was prorated. Until then, I'm not getting the full amount. About seven years ago, I got deathly sick with pancreatitis. I spent three months in the hospital with less then a 20% chance of living. I was on a ventilator and in intensive care for a part of that time. When I was released I was in and out of hospitals, sometimes for weeks at a time. Medicare is all the insurance I had and they didn't pay for all the bills, so I had to use what was left after raising my son to pay off the rest of hospital and doctor bills. With not getting my full amount each month I can't pay for the rest of my bills. I am $150,000 in debt and I receive $950 a month. I may lose everything. Please help me get some relief from the debt caused by my medical expenses. Thank you for reading this. KRB from Illinois.
