Rich said he would help me and that everything would be ok and then backed out with the explanation that I wasnt injured enough for the case to be worthwhile for him (it sounds like youre just interested in recovering your medical expenses and nothing more). For someone who is dealing with health issues related to an accident and trying to navigate healthcare that is totally outside the norm of what Im used to this was a huge disappointment and wasnt at all the right thing to do. I asked from the beginning whether this case would be worth it to him and he still invited me in to
