Can I go back on workman's comp insurance to see a Dr and can I still sue for continued pain and discomfort?

I would hope prior answers of prior lawyers to similar questions are searchable on this site? I personally have answered several similar questions in the past and reading same would be helpful to you. I'd presume other lawyers have also answered similar questions and I'm sure their answers would also be instructive. Please do look for these prior answers. In Michigan worker's compensation covers your wages and medicals for on the job injuries. If you return to work, and work aggravates the injury then I believe that would also be covered, but it would be important for you to contact a local worker's comp. attorney in regard to this question as I am somewhat familiar with wc, but am NOT a wc attorney (and the laws change from time to time). Worker's comp does not cover pain and discomfort. In order to recover for same you would have to have incident facts that prove that some party other than your employer had a hand in causing your incident(s). If there is such a 3rd party, whose negligence caused you to be injured, you have the ability to file a claim against them. There are many issues in these cases, such as paying back work comp from any 3rd party recovery, the fact that many premises liability defendants have a complete defense to slip and fall claims in the open & obvious defense, etc. Questions such as yours can only be answered generally hereon and it is always best to consult a local Michigan attorney who regularly handles cases such as yours for a review of all the facts and circumstances of your incidents for advice on what your legal rights are, what possible claims you may have, what the likelihood of success is on any such claims, what the range of value might be for such claims, etc.

Can I sue my attorney for paying $2,000 upfront but nothing is done on my case for almost a year?

Before you sue the attorney, request a refund. If the attorney has done some work on the case, he may not refund the entire fee. He may explain what he has done and you may decide to let him continue. If you and the attorney cannot agree on an amount of earned fee and refund, there is a procedure through the state bar to resolve fee disputes between attorneys and clients.

What can I do if State farm is refusing to pay my claim?

Personal Injury lawyer at Gregory M. Janks, P.C.
In Michigan your car insurer MUST pay all wage loss, medical treatment expenses and replacement services under your PIP coverage. If they refuse to pay, you may hire counsel and sue them. However, the problem becomes one of economics. It is only economical to pay the expense of litigation, and a fee to your lawyer, if the amount of outstanding benefits warrants the cost of suit. You would need to explore this with local Michigan counsel who regularly handles insurance litigation. As to any uninsured motorists claim, you'll need to prove the fault of the other driver, the uninsured status of the other driver and that your wife's injuries were a serious impairment of a body function to collect under the UM coverage. Again there are economic considerations that will need to be discussed with local Michigan counsel. You can also file a complaint with the State Insurance Commissioner re: the denial of the claim, which may, or may not, lead to any resolution/payment of benefits.
