Question Concerning Workers Comp

Dont trust anyone!!! I dont like lawyers but you need one thats good. If you are permanently injured thats another topic. If you want to keep this job you will have to fight for it unless they are a good company. They will not in most cases want to keep you. Especially the insurance company. All states are different also so find a good lawyer and tell them if you want to keep this job and then follow their advice. The doctor will also lie to you because they are in bed with the insurance company. Just ask how much of their practice is workers comp and you will see.

 

I wouldnt want to stay with a company that was plotting to fire me. But I wouldnt feel bad about getting all the cash I had coming from them either...

Get a lawyer

 

They’ll stick it to you any chance they can so f em. Especially if it’s permanent. Own that place.

 

Talk to a lawyer in the state that you live in. These types of claims the lawyer isnt going to charge you for a consultation... Talk to 20 lawyers if you want.

They will tell you what steps to take. Dont take advice for something like this from internet know it alls (like me).

Other than the talk to a lawyer advice I mean

 

They will probably go out of their way to accommodate you, doing everything they can to gain your trust. Till it’s time to fire you. Definitely get a consultation with at least one Lawyer. Find out what your options are and decide what’s best for you and your family. Good Luck, hopefully you’ll recover 100%. Don’t forget the case worker, the Doctor, the company liaison all have one thing in common. Minimize current and future risk. Your best interest are of no concern to them. You’re already outnumbered and up against a system of risk management that knows every trick in the book. Everyone’s real focus is on the cost, not your best interest. I suggest a second opinion on your prognosis. Never know, these injuries could haunt you for the rest of your life. All they want to do is close the case and move on to the next one.

 

This here. And watch what you say and do. Only ones looking out for YOU are your dr and your lawyer. There is no rule saying you have to go to companies dr. Go to yours. This could be a life altering injury, best bet is your dr and lawyer, they will provide the next steps for you and your family

 

Get competent representation from a firm specializing in comp law.
Sounds like you may not be able to return back to 100% duty status.
They may have you rehab according to doctors orders, then be evaluated by a specialist to determine that.
If not a settlement may be in order.
