Involved in a two truck MVA..have some questions.

On here too.

 

well, from my posting, i was hurt many years ago. i was on workman's comp as well. i was well taken care of, but was told up front, (by then the 2 union reps) if i go for a settlement, that in effect means i would be suing my employer.

and when that happens, you WILL BE resigning from them.

i finished my rehabbing, and got a doctors clearance to go back to work.

in another situation i have been thru, we have here in my state as i said TDI. i went onto that, sued the other party, (the guy ran a stop sign) so no need to sue my employer. (i was in a company vehicle)

so yeah, (to the o/p) i have been thru this

 

Lol, it wasn't directed at you.
It was just a satirical comment

 

oh, that's ok. i didn't take offense in any way, but the o/p did ask if anyone had been thru a similar situation, which i have been.

starting a paper trail is paramount either on workman's comp, or state TDI insurance. he needs to check and see if his state has that insurance. if so, there is a possibility his lawyer can get him off comp, and go onto TDI, THEN have rights to sue the other party. there are time limits,. i think here, i'd have 2 years before that expires.

i just made a correction to my response to you, including the o/p.

my bad if you thought i was directing that response to you

 

No worries.

 

I can't believe one hasn't called him yet.

 

Two years ago I was involved in a simular situation. I was able to sue the other driver. But I had to pay workers comp back for the medical bills out of my part of the settlement. My lawyer said it was because you are not allowed to profit off an injury or something like that.
