ICC

My WC case was denied. this was almost a year ago. Attorney filed a claim petition and went to court back in the spring with the Insurance co. 's attorney. The Judge set a date and time that day for Feb. Told both attorneys this would be one day, so make sure they were ready. When I received my notice from the Dept. Of Labor and Industry it is written just like this "THIS WILL BE A ONE DAY TRIAL, THERE WILL BE NO CONTINUANCES!!" That being said i get a call from my attorney yesterday telling me we won't be going to trial next week, they are finishing everything through the mail. In the meantime the Insurance Co.'s attorney wants two more depo's. one from my supervisor who wasn't even there so not a witness and another co-worker who was the first person I came across after I was injured, he is also not a witness. How can an attorney when the Judge says be prepared, no continuance get away with this. If he wanted the other 2 depos he had almost a year to get them and at least 6 months after mine was give. They still have the same time frame to get all paperwork in to the judge but now instead of me being done in court next week these depos might not be for another month. I feel the IC is fishing because they have nothing and using this as a stall tactic. Anyone else have a turn on this?
