Still waiting for payment
My case was initially sent to Keller postman from another attorney office. In the beginning, there was lots of communication and after an extended period of time settlement were offered, and I accepted only to find out instead of the standard fee that mine was 45%. I was never told that upfront that I recall. I am a cancer survivor with lasting repercussions and feel that the settlement should’ve been larger but after so many years was done with the process. I was initially towed payout from Pfizer would be an April and in June I got about 1/10 of the payout with the rest being held in escrow for lien resolution. Apparently having to wait for Insurance to clear the rest for Payment. I am still waiting and every phone call I make I get the same script. Read to me. My insurance has sent me letters saying that my attorneys have received confirmation and I don’t understand why I keep getting the runaround on the money they have held back if there are no liens. GSK has also settled in paperwork has been signed. The payout is supposed to be in October, which, if it goes the way Pfizer has would mean probably a little small portion given to me in February. Then another who knows how long before the bulk of the payout. As I said earlier, 45% out of the payout they gave me after going through two years of cancer treatment that was extremely intense and now dealing with the after effects more than likely for the rest of my life, barring the cancer returning God forbid. I understand why I attorneys do the class actions because that’s where they make the big money, but 45 to 50% seems extremely excessive, especially to those of us they have dealt with in our dealing with cancer. Just hope the remainder of the Pfizer comes soon and that GSK is not a repeat of this experience. Makes me wish I had chosen my own attorney at this point.
