Ya I haven’t been able to convince her to take action. Everyday I try to get her to go down to the attorney’s. She can barely walk And the company is treating it as a papercut to avoid osha doing an investigation. I’m sure they’ll get fined. They still have her walking all over the place lifting things. Normal work. From what i understand the equipment that she got hurt on has also injured 2 other people in the same way. There’s been a reports for Faulty equipment repair over the last year or so and they haven’t even thought about sending Maintenance on it.

Sounds like a tough position. I have a friend plus family that have suffered injuries. My friend was injured on the job due to no safety training for a machine he was working on. The manual said two people were required to properly man the machine; the other employee had quit two weeks earlier. My friend was tired the night he was injured. Said had the accident happened a minute or so later he would have died. Prior to his accident, the company had not performed ANY training for safely operating the machine properly. Apparently, OSHA was never notified of any of the mess.

His lawyer 'settled' (did NOT litigate, did NOT file a lawsuit, just sent a 'settlement offer' to the workmen's comp insurance company) for a very low amount of money. My friend sustained life long injuries and I believe his lawyer simply didn't want to do any real work on the matter.

Ditto for family members. They were rear ended by a semi tractor truck and came within inches of death. The lazy lazy law firm they hired ALSO presented a 'settlement offer'; they were either afraid or too lazy to file an actual real world law suit.

I'd say only around 1 in 100 lawyers are willing to file a lawsuit and litigate like a tiger. The other 99 are settlement pussies.

BTW, some lawyers will come to your house, you just have to ask. The deal is this; your wife will wake up five years from now with no money and no way to work. Victims have to stand up and fight for themselves in this world, otherwise the insurance companies get to KEEP THE MONEY.


Greedy bastards.

A lil update. Wife had to wait 6 weeks for a mri which determined a bulging disc. This is after the initial X-ray saying there was no issues it was just a pulled muscle. They sent her to physical therapy for the pulled muscle and put her I do much pain. Thy prescribed about a dozen of pain meds and muscle relaxers which were useless. Finally last week she was able to see an actual back specialist which determined there was 2 buldging disc. Doesn’t know why the company dr didn’t see it in the X-ray. Said It’s clearly there. Still to this day no treatment

All this time, all this waste of resources they could’ve put some effort into an actual diagnosis and get proper treatment from day one.

Your wife needs to see a neurosurgeon PRONTO. Tell her to bring the MRI showing the bulging discs to the appointment. Based on the MRI, the neurosurgeon may or may not recommend surgery. ANY back issue has the potential to negatively impact your wife's quality of life long term. After dealing with more than a few workman's comp cases, I'm convinced workman's comp insurance companies do everything they can to minimize their costs $$$$$$.

I've got a message for these insurance vultures; pay to have a competent neurosurgeon look at my wife's medical condition NOW or get ready to meet my lawyer down at the court house. If they think for one minute you aren't willing to lawyer up and take them to the mat they will continue to stone wall. It is just the nature of insurance companies.

First, the medical:

next, the current state of affairs regarding ANY insurance company:

I HIGHLY recommend you and your wife purchase this book. Your eyes will begin to open to just how greedy these people really are. Also, be particular choosey when choosing a lawyer. You want a lawyer that has experience dealing with these types of vultures. This isn't the time to hire a newby, you need RAMBO.
