Has anyone here ever filed a workmans comp claim?
I had an employee once who got into a car wreck and did it. It was pretty simple and I'm not sure my company did anything except sign a couple of papers. There was no incentive for us to fight anything because we already pay the insurance. Are other employers or other states different?

One of my former managers had some vertebrae in his spine broken when he was crushed by a coin cart at the casino. Back when the Missouri casinos still used coins, he was in the cage moving a cart. Well, it was loaded with all the buckets on one side, so when he tried to move it from that side, it tipped over and landed on him. He was pinned under it for about 20 minutes, since the way it fell, it blocked the security door into the cage. They had to crawl through the cashier's window to get to him. As far as I know he won the initial suit, but almost 15 years later because of the casino appealing and delaying the process, he hasn't seen a dime.

So you could say they rushed him back which in result screwed him out of workmans comp pay and actual pay because negligence. Obviously not every situation is going to end up like this, but I'd still suggest having some representation in place to ensure your future well-being. A lot of people are assuming everything is cut and dry and 100 percent honest. That's just not how the real world works. |

It seems to me like there's a middle ground that's missing in America these days. The middle ground would be, "Wow, that's a terrible accident. We have insurance that'll get you back up on your feet."

Still the most misunderstood lawsuit in history. There is an entire documentary that debunks the public understanding of that case.

As for my personal opinion on this one. I would go through normal channels and if you are denied workman's comp, better call Saul. I wouldn't even consider the homeowner, no matter how fat, drunk and stupid you perceive them to be.

I had to take a trip to the ER when I was in college due to an accident at work. I went in the back to grab something for a customer who, of course, came in after we had closed. A shelf fell and pinned me next to some stock racks. I was able to push it off of me, but it cut my back up pretty bad and knocked a few vertebrae out of place.
I signed a few papers at work and at the hospital and that was that.

Your opinion sucks. It's a shame you can't realize how much it sucks and exactly how bad of a poster you really are.
