Will companies hire with an open workers comp case?

oh,have you looked into any school's yet? I think your gunna be fine.

 

and mine is for a few dusted up toes,completely shattered the top half of my toe been 4 and half months so far I have surgery this Wednesday

 

Not so, plenty of reasons to have a open case and still be medically qualified to drive, plus the new company would be not held liable for a pre-existing condition thus pretty sweet deal for a company to hire since if a person becomes injured thus aggravating the pre-existing condition and claims would be null and void.

 

Prime is a good company,i know folks that went there and are happy.

 

This is the same old argument.. can a person with several speeding tickets in excess of 15 mph over the limit and several drug convictions get a CDL? Suuuuuuure they can...

I nor I'm sure would never hire anyone with an open workers comp claim working.. it doesn't matter that if the injury is aggravated or worsened by the job would not be held against the company.. there are liabilities in hiring this person at all.. let alone the great potential for the driver becoming re-injured or not being able to do the job for more that a few weeks wasting resources and time on someone who is more likely than not to fail in their experiment. With candidates other than this.. unless you're really desperate, why would you hire someone who is already injured?

 

we dont know the severity of the injury to judge,it's not even close to the same argument,mine probably wont closed for years because of potential painful arthritis may need a bone fussoin at some point,should that prevent me from getting a different job?

 

But this is the issue.. why would or should a company want to hire an employee who has these unknown factor? While many employees have the potential for these things, they are unknown at this time.. a company will know of the problems and the potential and future outlook is just not that good for the company.

Not saying that anyone here is a bad guy or anything like that. What I am saying is that finding people who can and will work and then work out is tough on the face of it.. and there are a LOT of problems and liabilities to companies in this scenario. Most companies that I have worked for will have on their applications and hiring processes questions that will ask about injuries and disabilities to make these problems come out to the front and when they do, it could very well be a deal breaker. Companies and the industry in general have a glut of able bodies out there to choose from, they would just be better off not hiring someone with existing problems that fall right into what they do. truckers use their backs and legs, the climb, they push and pull things, they all have to be done and for the most part have to be agreed to be done by the applicants (even though most drivers barely have to exert themselves enough to get in and out of the trucks.
