And here i sit. I who lost a home, a brand new vehicle, a boat, and what i thought was a career. You can’t imagine the stress or depression this caused my family, especially my children.
All while we watch government spending BP money and now citizens plan how to spend more. Meanwhile, my family has not been compensated for what we lost. Where is our deadline ?
We lost something tangible. I can’t tell any difference in the local environment. Maybe Mississippi or Louisiana, not here.
I chose a local law firm to represent me which was a huge mistake. They can’t put any pressure on claims center reps nor get any information. All they do is file the paperwork @ 35% !!
So again i ask, can i get a deadline ?
