Hello
My name is Kristine and in the photos with me is my Cowboy Corgi named Po.
On February 08, 2023, I was seriously injured on the job in Oceanside, California. The insurance company as well as my employer ghosted me, then “voluntarily” let me go 4 months later without ever speaking to me again. The case was not accepted until November 24, 2024. I received no treatment until February of 2025, a dismal 8 authorized visits.
I applied for unemployment, which ran out 2 weeks ago. I applied for disability, which I do not qualify for. I continue to look for work even though through multiple exams, MRIs, and CT scans I cannot work. I was recently diagnosed with an untreated TBI.
My injuries include my neck, shoulder, spine, and leg. As of this writing, I had received no payments for Workers’ Compensation, with none forthcoming, while the attorneys continue to argue about it in court. I am now destitute and flat broke.
My understanding with Workers’ Compensation is that this is the normal way things work. I’ve never been in a Workers’ Compensation claim, so this is all new to me and very frightening.
I need help, and resources in my area are very limited due to the population of homeless. I am currently with only sporadic housing. I am asking for anything to help. I am in my 50s and have never been in this situation before. Please help me in any way you can, thank you.
