TESTIMONIALS:

April 2010 – “Good Morning, I greatly appreciate you dissolving my worries with the nurse constantly calling me. I’ve definitely gained a lot of knowledge about myself through this process, which I guess was needed.  I’ve learned the hard way that I’m way too nice and trusting.  Dealing with the insurance company has definitely opened my eyes about the real world.  I deeply regret not retaining you from the beginning. In any manner…I thank you, Angie.”

March 2010 – Abrams Landau, Ltd. places emphasis on helping clients with multiple claims.  The following was received from a family for which we won BOTH the Workers’ Compensation claim and the Social Security Disability claims.  We won the Virginia Workers Comp claim for the surviving disabled adult dependent whose father was a pilot who died in a fiery plane crash in South America.  The state comp claim has resulted in payments of over a quarter of a million dollars to date.  However, since this was a fatal accident claim, the Workers Comp insurance company was not required to pay any  health care or medical bills for the disabled dependent son.  By winning the Federal Social Security case, this young man will receive benefits that provides medical over his lifetime.  Doug Landau tried the Federal disability case in North Carolina, near where the claimant lives, and this social security claim enables the disabled young man to get access to Medicare benefits.  The young man’s mother wrote:

“Thank you so very much for all your hard work and dedication.  I realize this case has been extremely unique.  I think it has set a precedence.    Dianna, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to personally make that call to SS for us.  I know the firm has already received payment, and you could easily have said, we have done our duty, but no, you kept right on plugging.  For that I am grateful. “

“Dear Mr. Landau,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your work on my son’s disability case and to let you know that he has received his back payment check of $30,000. His monthly checks of $882 are now being sent to him also.

We, as a family, wish to thank you for your efforts to make this occur.

We also especially want to thank Dianna Meredith for her faithful attention to this case. She kept in contact with me, did the needed correspondence and kept a vigilant eye on the details as they happened in South Carolina.

Thank you also for traveling to Columbia for my son and for all of your assistance and patience in preparing us to go before the judge.”* * *

 11/26/07: Your efforts, intellect and advocacy are more than appreciated. Let me sleep, read thru what you so carefully wrote and give you an intelligent and reasoned answer. You have gone the extra mile for me and it is not unnoticed. If you decide to run for office I will help you in anyway possible. You could make a great contribution to so many and still practice. I pray that your family is well and that you never as a parent have to undergo the pain and sorrow of having an injured or sick child. Thanks for sticking up for the “little people”. Respectfully, C.C. (A client who slipped and fell on wet mats and re-injured her knee at a Starbucks coffee shop. Despite the insurance company sending private investigators to film her taking her disabled son to the hospital, the Landau Law Shop won her case so that she could get her needed surgery.)

11/25/07: The widow of an Air Ambulance pilot killed in South America wrote:It appears you [Dianna Meredith] and Mr. Landau are very unique when it comes to representing a client [because of the time, effort and money you put into representing your clients]. After depositions in Carolina and a Hearing in Virginia, Doug Landau won full comp benefits for her son, who is an adult, but who suffers from mental illness. The Workers Compensation Insurance company was ordered to pay for the father’s funeral and burial costs, and the adult son has received over $130,000 in benefits as well as a tax-free check each week. Furthermore, the family was able to invest money from Mr. Landau’s successful representation in the comp claim in their Florida third party liability (negligence) case.

The picture below is from Herndon “Super Lawyer” Doug Landau’s trip to Coral Gables to visit with Robert Parks, counsel in the 3rd party negligence case. Mr. Parks is not only an excellent, experienced air crash attorney, he is also the current President of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers. His office is only minutes from where Mr. Landau attended Law School at the University of Miami. These lawyers are working together in order to make the best recovery for this grieving family.

* * *This e-mail arrived last week from a client Mr. Landau assisted when the ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd. office was in Old Town Alexandria Courthouse Plaza in the 1990’s ! Under the Award in the case, this injured workers has been receiving benefits for over 28 years !!! The Insurance company is paying his current medications needs of $30,000/year, as well as for hot tubs, transportation expenses and medical care. FROM THE CLIENT: “I was awarded life time medical benefits due to a line of duty accident dated March 30, 1979. I have not had any wage payments of course for years, but they have been pretty good about paying for necessary treatments, surgeries, etc. They even paid for two hot tubs over the years, without much problem, of course I had to provide documentation from a couple of doctors. Thanks for the advice. After reading some of the case law and other info from your site, I am pretty sure I know where to go from here. I am going to get the doctors together to submit info to [the Insurance Company] about the procedure and medical management, citing the VA code about “medical Management “ [The Virginia Workers Compensation Act, unlike some other states, specifically prohibits medical management by Insurance Companies, their nurses, rehabilitation specialists an case managers !] If I get into any difficulties, I will let you know, but I feel pretty good about it now. Thanks again. You are a “Remote” Miracle worker, Again! Have a great Weekend! “
